Burnout is one of those words we hear all the time in tech, but what does it actually look and feel like and how do you come back from it?

In this episode, I sit down with Natasha Singh, who has lived through burnout and rebuilt her life and career more than once. With over 20 years of experience across Canadian fashion retail, brand marketing, and tech, Natasha shares her journey from defining herself entirely by work, with no boundaries and constant busyness as a badge of honor, to creating her own framework for recovery through her company.

Together, we talk about the hidden warning signs of burnout, why “balance” is more of a myth than a destination, and the cultural forces in tech that make burnout so common. Natasha also opens up about imposter syndrome, learning to set boundaries for the first time, and the mindset shifts that allowed her to see progress as “enough.”

This conversation is both raw and practical. Whether you’re in the middle of burnout, worried you’re heading there, or simply want to build a healthier career, you’ll leave with tools you can start applying today: from expressing boundaries, to holding yourself accountable, to blocking time for real rest and play.
