Podcast 75: The Weight of Too Many Plates - Navigating Occupational Burnout
from Dose of Wonder · host Caitlin McColl 🇨🇦
In this episode, I unpack occupational burnout through the World Health Organization’s definition and then get honest about my own breaking point, juggling a full-time job alongside digital side hustles, social media, and the constant pressure to stay visible. I share how that pace quietly drained my passion and left me feeling perpetually overwhelmed, until I finally drew hard boundaries by leaving online groups and silencing most notifications to reclaim some mental breathing room. This is both a reflection on why boundaries are non-negotiable and an open invitation for you to consider, and share, how stress and burnout are showing up in your own life.Loved this episode?
