Ep#175 The Burnout Shame Cycle
Manage episode 481312041 series 3000762
High-achieving professionals often suffer in silence when burnout strikes—not because they’re lazy or weak, but because of something deeper: shame. In this episode, we explore how shame silently fuels burnout, why it’s especially common among driven leaders, and how to break the cycle for good.
If you've ever thought, “I should be able to handle this,” or found yourself hiding how bad things really are—this one’s for you.
You'll learn:
- What the Burnout Shame Cycle is and how it traps high performers
- Why shame thrives in high-stakes, high-responsibility environments
- How to spot the warning signs you’re caught in the loop
- Practical strategies to shift from self-judgment to self-leadership
- The first step toward turning burnout into meaningful transformation
Key Insight:
Burnout is not a flaw. It’s a message from your deeper self. When you meet shame with truth and compassion, everything changes.
Show Notes:
I Thought It Was Just Me, Brené Brown
The Gifts of Imperfection, Brené Brown
No Bad Parts, Richard Schwartz
Journal prompt: “What is shame telling me about who I think I should be?”
