Burnout isn’t just feeling tired—it shows up in ways that quietly sabotage work, relationships, and daily life. In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist and friend Dr Claire Plumbly to explore how burnout presents in real life, share stories from clients, and reflect on our own experiences.

We cover:

• Common signs of burnout you might be missing

• How burnout impacts relationships, work, and wellbeing

• Practical ways we work with clients to prevent and recover from burnout

• Personal reflections from both of us on managing high expectations and overdoing it
