Burnout is more than just exhaustion; it’s all-out mindbody shutdown that can sneak up on even the most resilient.

In this episode, we get real about our most transformative experiences with burnout: where it stemmed from, the wake-up calls that made us pay attention & strategies that helped us pull through.

We’re diving into:

• The experiences of major burnout that forced us to reassess work and life
• Some of the drivers of burnout (+how to recognize the warning signs)
• Learnings & insights since healing from burnout
• How burnout shaped us, and how we avoid repeating patterns
• Our best advice for anyone experiencing the impacts of chronic stress or burnout

Importantly, in this conversation we acknowledge that burnout is not caused solely by stressful workplaces or too many demands – anyone experiencing prolonged stress is at risk.

We hope that through sharing our stories, you’ll feel seen, understood, and – most importantly – empowered to navigate burnout with more awareness and self-compassion.

You’re not alone in this, and there is a way through.

An introduction to what we're all about - sparking the conversation around the deeper layers of burnout.

Whether you’re navigating the challenges of burnout, aiming to improve your health and wellbeing this year, or seeking practical tools to thrive, this space is for you.

Our priority is making the burnout conversation more accessible and inclusive (especially for marginalized communities) - serving those who benefit from it most.

Most burnout podcasts only cover the surface-level aspects: like "just do less!" or "more self care," but we recognize the social determinants of health, societal messaging, and lack of community- as key contributing factors.

If typical mainstream advice feels invalidating or limiting, we're here for you.

Join us as we deep dive into topics like:

-differentiating burnout from exhaustion

-hyper-individualism in culture + how we can create community

-expanding your window of tolerance

-the role of fitness in building resilience

-nervous system health and self-regulation strategies

-the interplay between identity and burnout.

Each episode is designed to spark meaningful conversations, build connections and create a community of support, and inspire actionable change.

With a mix of expert insights, real-world stories, and practical tips and resources, Burning Passion will empower you to transform your experience of burnout into a catalyst for growth and wellbeing. Make that cuppa, get cozy and join us for a conversation that goes deeper than surface-level self-care.
