As a clinical psychologist, Jacqui Maguire sees burnout a lot. She's watched it become more and more prevalent in the last few years, and is well versed in its signs, symptoms, and common causes.

She's also seen it become a bit of a buzzword. One that can be used to describe how people are trying to keep up with fast-paced lives. But, in this episode Jacqui and Antonia Prebble unpack what burnout really means, leaning on the scientific evidence for both individuals and workplaces.

Jacqui clarifies what it can look like for individuals. The pair talk about how burnout operates, how it differs from stress, and how to recognise it. As well as well as effective techniques to handle it, and practical advice to lessen some of the psychological aspects of burnouts impact. 

For workplaces - we hate to break it to you - preventing burnout is about much more than a fruit bowl and a ping pong table. We talk about the best things organisations can do to genuinely help their staff and avoid the costly repercussions of burning your people out.
