Burnout isn’t just about being tired. Anxiety isn’t always obvious. And high performers? They’re often the last to ask for help.
In this episode of Radio Omnicor, clinical psychologist Dr. Colinda Linde joins Colleen and Hilton to unpack the pressures of modern work. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of CBT, Colinda offers grounded, practical strategies for managing stress, preventing burnout, and creating healthier work environments, both individually and systemically.
In this episode, we explore:
What burnout really is and how it differs from stress or fatigue
How anxiety shows up at work, especially in high-functioning individuals
The personality patterns that affect how people respond to pressure
What managers can do to prevent or unintentionally fuel burnout
Why “self-care” alone isn’t enough and what systemic change looks like
Simple first steps for people feeling overwhelmed
Tools and mindsets that really make a difference
