HR Deep Dive: From Burnout to Boundaries with Boniwe Dunster

Luyanda Duma Season 6 Episode 6

Burnout has become one of the biggest threats to career success, often leaving professionals drained, uninspired, and disconnected from their true potential. But what if the solution lies not in working harder, but in creating stronger boundaries?

In this episode of The Enlightened Podcast, I sit down with Boniwe Dunster — a strategic HR leader with over 16 years of experience — to explore the journey from burnout to resilience. We unpack the hidden costs of burnout, the power of boundaries as a leadership tool, and how to rebuild a sustainable, thriving career.

If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, undervalued, or on the edge of exhaustion, this conversation will equip you with tools to pause, protect your energy, and rise stronger.

Tune in for a raw, empowering conversation on why boundaries aren’t just a nice-to-have — they’re a career-saving power move.
