Most of us were taught that having limits is a weakness - something to push through, not something to honour. And if you're a doctor, a nurse, a vet, or anyone in a high-stakes role, that message arrived early and arrived hard. The result is a profes... more

Most of us have been told that burnout is caused by overwork and that the solution is to rest, take a break or slow down. Set some boundaries. But what if that's only part of the picture? What if the very thing that made you good at your job - your v... more

Every doctor and high-achieving professional knows what it feels like to lie awake with a brain that refuses to stop - replaying a decision made that afternoon, running tomorrow's list at midnight, scanning ahead for what might go wrong. Our ingraine... more

Boundaries aren't walls. They're fences. A wall keeps everyone out. A fence has a gate, and it's yours to open or close, if you're willing to hold it when someone pushes.

That idea comes from this conversation with Dr Sarah Coope, recorded for the Y... more

  • Health care centered but not specific

    I love the advice and the clinical discussions that are brought up during this podcast. I work in the automotive profession with the added stress of work under flat rate. Burnout and depression is never talked about in my field and there is little support for these concern. These episodes speak to me because the stresses are very similar.

  • Good for burnout

    This is a pretty good podcast especially for GPs with burnout. I had had burnout a few times and am easily stressed and anxious, so I find this podcast overall useful. Although some of the episodes have a lot of chit chat and abstract kind of stuff, which is the downside. I find the shorter episodes more useful in terms of practical solutions

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Your Dedication the Reason You're Burning Out?
Q: What are Nick's top three tips from the research for listeners wanting to avoid the downward burnout spiral?
Nick highlights growth over burnout, the importance of an engaging opposite world, and evolving one's operating system as foundational. He stresses balancing performance with growth and rest, using external input, and not relying on rest alone to regain sustainability.
Is Your Dedication the Reason You're Burning Out?
Q: What are the key practical steps people can take to prevent burnout early?
The host asks for practical steps; Nick emphasizes recognizing and updating one's operating system across life stages, finding an opposite world activity to restore energy, scheduling regular breaks (the 111 mechanism), and seeking external perspectives to reframe thinking and boundaries.
How to Hold Someone Accountable Without Losing the Relationship
Q: Joe, what would you say is a layman's definition of holding somebody accountable?
Holding someone accountable means focusing on observed behaviors and patterns, valuing mutual empowerment, and ensuring the flow and collaboration of work rather than targeting the person.
How to Work Free From Burnout
Q: What is the difference between burnout and depression, and how should teams respond?
Burnout is sustained stress with emotional exhaustion, detachment, and loss of joy; depression has mood and cognitive symptoms that may require therapy or medical treatment; both require support, but treatment paths may differ.
How to Work Free From Burnout
Q: What makes saying no so hard, and how can we encourage it without fear of repercussion?
Cultural shifts, leadership modeling, and practical reframing help—start with small, manageable refusals and pair them with requests that would enable better outcomes; consequences are not as catastrophic as feared when done respectfully.
