Health practitioner burnout - it's the triple-edged sword that injures practitioners, patients, and the health system.
In this episode, psychologist Dr Shaun Prentice joins me to discuss burnout:
- What causes it (the answer may surprise you!)
- How to prevent it.
- How to manage it.
Along the way we address the hard questions including "At what point does burnout signal that it is time to leave the profession?"
If you or someone you know has burnout, has been burned out, or may be approaching it, this is one episode not to be missed.
A strangly uplifting listen, and one of my personal favourite guest interviews to date.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
