Stress. Overwhelm. Burnout. We’re told they’re all personal — a time management issue, a self-care problem, a “just push through” situation. But what if the problem isn’t you? What if it’s the system?
In this kickoff episode of Better Than This, author, entrepreneur, and workplace instigator Meghan French Dunbar unpacks why the modern world of work feels so broken and explores how to break away from the traditional, often toxic work paradigms that dominate our lives.
From the harmful business playbook we’ve inherited to the roots of burnout, stress, and overwhelm — this episode sets the stage for a new conversation about work, leadership, and success.
This is your invitation to ditch the old rules — and step into The New Playbook.
In this episode:→ Why work feels harder than ever (it’s not just you) → The hidden history behind today’s burnout culture → 5 toxic workplace norms driving stress & exhaustion → The powerful mindset shift that changed Meghan’s life → What’s possible when we build work that actually works for people
