Episode 103: Why Taking Time Off or Switching Companies Will Not Fix The Issue

Recently, I was catching up with a woman in our network who I haven't talked with in a while. She shared with me that she had left her previous company and taken a 6-month leave due to burnout. She had since returned, landed a new role, and was now 30 days at the new company. I asked her, "How are you feeling now? How is it going?" She admitted, "Honestly, I am feeling the same feelings creeping back up again." The burnout was looming again even at the new company. She was feeling a bit defeated because she thought if she could only take the time off and land something new... And yet, even with a change in environment and people, nothing had really changed. In this episode, I share with you why taking time off isn't the cure-all to burnout and discuss what is really at the root of burnout and how to address it.
