You’re tired, snappy, and counting down the hours until the weekend. But is it really burnout, or is your job just out of alignment with your actual life?
In this powerful second episode of the burnout series, I'm breaking down what burnout actually is (with definitions from WHO + SLP research) and how to figure out if your stress is coming from exhaustion, unmet needs, or the wrong job altogether.
You’ll Learn:
- The 3 signs of burnout that go beyond “being tired”
- What it means to be misaligned at work (and how it shows up in your body + thoughts)
- Why switching jobs might not fix the real problem
- Key questions to ask before you quit, change settings, or switch careers
“We think we’re burned out, but sometimes we’re just stuck in a pattern that doesn’t match our values. And no new job can fix that.”

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
