The chapter delves into the speaker's personal experience with burnout and depression, highlighting the link between excessive work hours, stress, and lack of self-care. It analyzes burnout as a continuum affecting various aspects of life and emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying causes rather than opting for quick fixes. The discussion focuses on a holistic approach to well-being, including physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual domains, providing a framework for self-assessment and practical ways to achieve balance.

Exhausted, cynical, and ineffective? You could be experiencing burnout. In this candid conversation, Dr. Neha Sangwan provides a radical reframe, defining burnout as a profound mind-body disconnect from ignoring our core needs while chasing society's narrow "success."

Drawing from her book Powered by Me: From Burned Out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life, Dr. Sangwan outlines a holistic "burnout triad" and life-changing 5-part framework to realign your energy across physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual domains. Discover potent yet simple ways to escape the cycle by reconnecting to your deepest values.
