About this episode
Welcome to the A Bit Of A Boost Burnout Series!
This is a topic I've explored on the podcast before, and one that comes up regularly in coaching sessions, workshops and conversations with high performing professionals.
What's become clear is that it doesn't just suddenly hit you. It creeps up, gets normalised and isn't always easy to spot until it's too late.
In this series I'm sharing real conversations with people who've experienced burnout firsthand.
Not the theories or frameworks, but the personal stories of what happened.
How it felt, what was going on at the time, the contributing factors, and the signs that were missed, that in hindsight seem so obvious.
We also explore what people learned from the experience, and the changes they made to avoid ending up in the same place again.
You may recognise yourself in parts of these stories. Either because they echo your own experience, or reflect something you're going through right now.
My next guest in this series is Lucinda Powell, a psychology teacher at an Oxfordshire secondary school .
In this conversation, Lucinda shares her personal experience of burnout - how she normalised being exhausted all the time, and regularly weighed up the relative merits of going into work versus crashing the car on the drive there
