Episode 22: Burnout is Real

In the logistics world, burnout isn’t a buzzword — it’s a daily reality.

In this episode of Holding the Line: A Logistics at a Crossroads Podcast, Gia gets personal and real about the emotional and physical toll of nonstop shifts, unpredictable schedules, and the pressure to always perform. From her own experience in shift work to the unspoken culture that normalizes exhaustion, this is a conversation many logistics professionals have lived — but few have voiced.

You’ll hear:

• How burnout seeps beyond the workplace into home, health, and identity
• Why “5 days off” often means 5 days of catching up, not recovery
• What shift workers wish their managers truly understood
• Four actionable ways employers can address burnout before it breaks teams

This is more than a wellness chat — it’s a wake-up call for the industry to finally prioritize people alongside productivity.
