brAVe [skills]: Ep 5: Burnout: Empty Tank, Full Stop

Recorded on November 19th, 2024

In this episode of brAVe [skills], Britt and Leon dive into the heavy topic of burnout—what it is, why it happens, and how to navigate it. They explore three causes of burnout:

1. Weight of the World Syndrome - Taking on everything, often for others, with a fear of failure and a need to prove yourself.
2. Fear of Falling - Striving for perfection and tying success to self-worth.
3. Dead Battery/Totaled Engine - Running on empty and relying on temporary jumpstarts to keep going.

Britt and Leon share personal insights, including a pivotal moment that changed how Leon approached burnout for the sake of his health. They also discuss the differences between stress and burnout, and the importance of recognizing the unique symptoms of each, as well as how burnout can overlap with depression.

Whether you're feeling the weight of chronic stress or teetering on the edge of burnout, this episode offers practical advice and powerful encouragement to take back control and find balance.
