In this insightful episode of The CFO Project Podcast, host Adam Lean sits down with Lauren Baptiste, founder of Aquilo and former CPA, to tackle the critical issue of burnout in the accounting profession. Lauren shares her personal journey from experiencing severe burnout that led to hospitalization, to discovering how mindset shifts and self-awareness can transform our relationship with work. As a fellow accountant who's been in the trenches, she offers a unique perspective on why high-achieving professionals are particularly susceptible to burnout.
Whether you're pulling late nights during month-end close or feeling overwhelmed by client demands, this episode provides practical strategies for recognizing and addressing burnout before it takes a toll on your health and career. Lauren and Adam explore how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and false perceptions about workplace expectations can contribute to burnout, while offering actionable steps to break free from these patterns. Learn why changing your mindset might be more important than changing your job, and discover how small, intentional changes can lead to sustainable work-life harmony in the accounting profession.
