48. Burnout, Work and Family with Sophie Scott

Welcome to Episode 48 - Burnout, Work and Family with Sophie Scott

The literature around burnout tends to focus on burnout being a workplace issue. But as we know in life, what happens at work can impact us outside of work too. 

This week I'm joined by Sophie Scott, an award winning journalist and broadcaster as the national medical reporter with the ABC. 

Sophie is also an author, an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame's Medical School, an ambassador for Bowel Cancer Australia, Pain Australia and sits on advisory committees at the National Mental Health Commission and the University of Melbourne’s Contemplative Studies Centre.

Sophie shares her burnout story, and how having open dialogue around mental health within the family home helped her along her recovery journey. Sophie also shares some great tips to improve our mental health as we work through conditions like burnout or stress more generally.
