The Hidden Mental Load of Being the Go-To Person At Work
What do you get when you're part therapist, part human Google, part vending machine whisperer—and fully burned out? You get the Go-To Person. And if that’s you… whew, let’s talk. In this episode of As I Was Saying, host April Simpkins pulls back the curtain on the unspoken emotional toll of being everyone’s everything at work. From the Rockstar employee who held it all together until she couldn’t, to the leader who realized a little too late that “praise” doesn’t equal “support,” we explore the mental strain, workplace blind spots, and what happens when boundaries are ignored for too long. April doesn’t just vent—she gives you three solid action items to fix the dysfunction before your best employees walk out the door (mid-pizza party, no less). Whether you’re the go-to, manage the go-to, or just want to avoid becoming one, this episode is your reality check wrapped in wit, data, and hard-earned wisdom. Because burnout isn't a badge of honor—it's a bright red warning sign.
