Many people working in sustainability feel disillusioned and burned out. The problem is that businesses often prioritise profit over real, impactful change. Sustainability is seen as secondary, and those driving it are left feeling unsupported and powerless. This lack of meaningful action leaves even the most dedicated individuals questioning their efforts.
Kathryn Sheridan suggests slowing down, reconnecting with our values, and acting from a place of stability. By making small, steady changes, we can avoid burnout and create lasting impact. It's about finding balance, caring for ourselves, and learning to pace our efforts for the long haul.
If we continue at breakneck speed, we risk losing the energy and clarity we need to make real progress. Burnout can leave us unable to act, and the noise of the world can overwhelm us. Without intentional change, we might stay stuck in cycles of stress and frustration, unable to move forward.
