Safety Burn Out
from Women in Safety Podcast Hosted by Women in Safety Podcast
It’s not just you. Burnout in health and safety is becoming far too common. In this episode, Alanna Ball opens up about the emotional exhaustion many professionals are quietly dealing with. She talks about the pressure to always be available, the guilt of saying no, and how burnout often hides behind being busy and capable. Women in safety often carry more than just their job titles. Alanna shares why setting boundaries matters, how to recognise when you’re pushing too hard, and why rest is not a reward - it’s necessary. She reminds us that peer support, honesty, and giving ourselves permission to pause can make all the difference. This one’s a quiet nudge to stop pushing through and start paying attention—to your needs, your energy, and your limits. If you’ve felt it too, let’s talk. Share what burnout looks like for you or the ways you’ve set boundaries that actually work. Your story might be the one that helps someone else take a breath. Got questions?
