🎉 Celebrating 150 Podcast Episodes! Saying No to Extra Shifts

from The Burnout Recovery Podcast · host Dr Jo Braid

🎉 Milestone Alert! We've reached episode 150 of The Burnout Recovery Podcast! Join Dr Jo Braid and a special guest (her 9-year-old son Lachy) as they celebrate this incredible milestone together.In this heartfelt episode, Dr Jo shares her personal journey from being the "yes doctor" who worked two jobs simultaneously - full-time as a rehabilitation medicine registrar plus evening GP house calls - to learning the life-changing power of saying no. What You'll Learn: The physical and emotional toll of overcommitting to extra work The CARE Framework for boundary-setting without guilt How to address the "but my colleagues need me" mindset Why saying yes to everything means saying no to excellence in anything How boundaries evolve as your life circumstances change Key Takeaway:Saying no isn't about limiting yourself - it's about choosing where to invest your finite energy so you can show up as your best self.Reflection Question: What's one shift or request you wish you'd said no to this month? What would saying no have allowed you to say yes to instead?

I pay my respects to Wiradjuri Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize the continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. This acknowledgment is a small but important step in recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations peoples and the deep historical and ongoing relationship with Country.
