When the Dishwasher Makes You Cry. Spotting Burnout Before It Breaks You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Alya Shakir explores what real burnout looks and feels like, far beyond just having a rough week. She shares a candid personal story about realizing she was burnt out because of an overreaction to something as small as how the dishwasher was loaded.
From there, she breaks down the early warning signs of burnout, how it can creep up on high-functioning, high-responsibility people, and why ignoring those signs can lead to collapse. Alya offers a practical, compassionate roadmap for interrupting the slide into burnout and rebuilding your emotional and physical capacity.
This episode is for anyone who’s been “pushing through” for too long, living at 90% all the time, and noticing that the little things suddenly feel like a very big deal.
The Private GP podcast is produced by City Walk in Clinic in London, UK.
