Happy Work-Life Project Podcast- Ep. #1 Breaking the Burnout Cycle: 12 Stages and Steps to Recovery

Recognizing the Signs and Finding Joy: If you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or constantly stressed, or if you want to spot the symptoms before burnout takes over, this episode is made for you.

Welcome to the Happy Work-Life Project Podcast!

I am so excited to share the first episode of the Happy Work-Life Project Podcast, where I open up deeply about my personal experience with burnout, sharing how it crept in slowly and eventually took over my life. Despite having healed my nervous system and regained balance since then, I still vividly remember the overwhelming stress and anxiety that defined my burnout—and it’s my greatest motivation to be mindful of my working hours and recognize familiar patterns.

This episode is a deep dive into the 12 stages of burnout, helping you understand its progression from early warning signs to full-on exhaustion. I discuss not only how to recognize these stages but also the critical importance of prevention, recognizing early signs, and recovery—and what kinds of life changes can trigger the start of burnout.

Whether you’re experiencing burnout or exhaustion yourself, or supporting someone who is, I provide actionable tips on how to manage stress, calm your mind, and begin the healing process. I also explain how burnout can serve as a wake-up call, guiding you to realign with your values and make meaningful changes in your career and life.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The 12 stages of burnout and how to identify them early.

  • How burnout is not just about workload or to-dos, but how personal changes can impact your life.

  • Practical steps for recovery, healing, and empowering yourself after burnout.

  • My personal story of burnout and how it led me to help others.
