M's The Word | E9 Mental Health & Burnout - You Are Not a Candle but Burnout is Real!
from The Mortgage Mum Podcast · host The Mortgage Mum
In this episode, we explore the viral claim made by Natalie Dawson on The Diary of a CEO: "You are not a candle, you can't burn out." Sarah, Gemma, Shelley and Jade come together to share their perspectives on burnout, productivity, and the pressures of modern life. This is an open and honest conversation, particularly for women, about the expectation to keep going, the emotional weight of unfinished to-do lists, and the internal conflict between resting and feeling "lazy". Rather than offering definitive answers, this episode creates space for reflection. Burnout isn't always obvious, and it doesn't look the same for everyone. If you've ever struggled to switch off, questioned your own limits, or tied your worth to how much you achieve, this conversation will resonate.
