Is burnout just another word for stress? Not quite. In my latest podcast episode, I break down what burnout really is, how it differs from stress and anxiety, and why it’s more than just "being overwhelmed for too long." I explore:🔹 How our nervous system reacts to constant stress🔹 The hidden warning signs of burnout (including memory issues and cynicism)🔹 Why workplaces often miss the real causes of burnout – and how they can prevent it Plus, a brief detour involving my dog, a minor injury, and a reminder that animals are much better at "rest and digest" than we are! If you’re feeling drained, disconnected, or like you’re running on fumes, this episode is for you. I also talk about the McKinsey Health Institute study on Burnout at work that you can read here - https://www.mckinsey.com/mhi/our-insights/addressing-employee-burnout-are-you-solving-the-right-problem Dog Walk Thoughts.
