Episode 11: Burnout and When Your Work Starts Clashing with Your Values with Jess MarshWhat happens when the work you love starts pulling you away from the values that made you want to help in the first place?In this conversation with Social Worker, Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor Jess Marsh, we explore what burnout really looks like, not just in your workload, but in your nervous system, values, and workplace culture.Jess shares her own experiences of burnout (yes, more than one), the physical signs she missed, and what she’s learned about how values misalignment and organisational culture quietly feed exhaustion. We also talk about the pressure to “just be grateful,” and how reflective supervision can help you stay grounded and aligned,  even in challenging systems.And yes, this episode started because I was totally fan-girling over Jess’s Supervision Menu after buying myself a copy.
