Burning Passion: Understanding the Deeper Layers of Burnout (And How to Overcome It)
Welcome to Burning Passion, the podcast where we explore the relationship between burnout in modern-day society & the mind-body connection. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of burnout, aiming to improve your health and wellbeing this year, or seeking practical tools to thrive, this space is for you. Our priority is making the burnout conversation more accessible and inclusive (especially for marginalized communities) - serving those who benefit from it most. Most burnout podcasts only cover the surface-level aspects: like "just do less!" or "more self care," but we recognize the social determinants of health, societal messaging, and lack of community- as key contributing factors. If typical mainstream advice feels invalidating or limiting, we're here for you. Join us as we deep dive into topics like: -differentiating burnout from exhaustion -hyper-individualism in culture + how we can create community -expanding your "window of tolerance" -the role of fitness in building resilience -nervous system health and self-regulation strategies -the interplay between identity and burnout. Each episode is designed to spark meaningful conversations, build connections and create a community of support, and inspire actionable change. With a mix of expert insights, real-world stories, and practical tips and resources, Burning Passion will empower you to transform your experience of burnout into a catalyst for growth and wellbeing. Make that cuppa, get cozy and join us for a conversation that goes deeper than surface-level self-care.
