Episode notes

Setting boundaries and tackling burnout should not be seen as a pass or fail task but rather as a continuous journey of ups and downs towards a healthier and sustainable lifestyle. It is essential to recognize that progress is not linear but trends towards growth and change. Overcommitting and always saying yes can lead to burnout, so it's crucial to create time to evaluate priorities before agreeing to new tasks. Instead of striving to eliminate burnout completely, it's more realistic to acknowledge stress as a natural human response and focus on managing it effectively.

Most of us would like to find meaning in the work we do, but many of us are burnt out or stressed at our jobs. In this episode, an international mental wellness educator, a former journalist turned meditation advocate, and the author of the literal book on millennial burnout share why –and how– we can rethink our relationship to work and stress entirely.

The episodes we referenced were:
• Anne Helen Petersen on changing your relationship to work and the guardrails that can prevent burnout
•How to cultivate the skill of happiness (w/ Dan Harris)
•How to stop finding your self-worth through your job (w/ Gloria Chan Packer)
