Ep. 08 - Conquering Burnout: Overcoming Exhaustion and Rediscovering Joy

Saqib Rasool Season 1 Episode 8

In this episode we will challenge the conventional narrative around burnout. Instead of viewing it as a singular state of irreversible exhaustion, we consider it as a multi-dimensional challenge that requires a careful approach to reversing it. 

We will explore the following: 

  1. The physical dimension underlines the importance of rest, nutrition, and addressing medical conditions if present. 
  2. The emotional dimension focuses on the impacts of ongoing inauthentic behaviour and resentment in the workplace and life in general. 
  3. The existential dimension highlights the effects of lack of meaning in work, emphasizing the need for nourishment through meaningful contributions to your world with your work.
  4. Lastly, we will touch on the societal dimension, considering the wider impacts of our environments and relationships. 

Join us as we journey through these dimensions, offering insights and solutions for each stage of burnout.
