In this episode, I chat with Dr. Claire Plumbly about burnout. Recent reports state that up to 80% of the UK workforce have experienced or are experiencing burnout, but burnout doesn’t just happen in the workplace. Through this conversation and her brilliant new book, Claire shares with us:
•What burnout actually is
•What burnout isn’t
•What causes it
•The importance of boundaries
•Who gets affected
•How Covid has changed our supportive community
•The loss of community
•The importance of feeling safe in our bodies
•The impact of being ‘on’ all the time
•Where to go to for support
She also provides a game-changing way of understanding our nervous system—how to recognize when it’s in fight, flight, or freeze mode, and how to bring it back to a feeling of safety (which might not be how you imagine!).
We also answer many of your questions.
This episode isn’t just for those experiencing burnout, but for everyone, as Claire introduces tools to help us prevent burnout in our lives. Understanding and listening to our nervous system is key, and this episode promises to equip you with the knowledge you need.
I truly hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed having this conversation!
