121. OT Burnout Is Not Inevitable: Why Occupational Therapists Keep Burning Out and How to Stop

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the OT Yourself to Freedom podcast, Beki Eakins challenges one of the most deeply ingrained beliefs in caring professions and entrepreneurship, that burnout is inevitable and even admirable. Burnout is not proof that you care more. It is not a sign that you are doing meaningful work. It is a warning that you are out of alignment with your body, your values, and your life. This episode is an honest invitation to stop normalising exhaustion, martyrdom, and over-giving, particularly within occupational therapy, healthcare, and purpose-driven businesses, and to start taking ownership of the small, daily choices that quietly lead to burnout. If you are already feeling tired, bracing yourself for the year ahead, or telling yourself “this is just part of the job”, this conversation is for you.
