Burnout Truth #1 - Burnout Barbie

In this episode of Burnoutology I'm talking to you about the first of 200 Burnout Truths.

NO, that is not a typo - I have created a Burnoutology glossary that includes 200 Burnout truths, what. they are, how to spot them, and why it matters, and Truth #1 is all about Burnout Barbie!

What it really means:

The high-functioning woman with perfect branding and dead eyes. Smiles, posts, delivers… while dissociating.

How to spot it:

Endless “empowerment” content. Flat tone. Numbness masked as professionalism. Looks successful, feels nothing.

Why it matters:

She doesn’t crash—she slowly disappears. If you’re applauding her “drive,” you’re missing her collapse.

I'm digging into this and more, in this episode.

You can get your very own copy of the 200 Truths in the Burnout Aware Starter Kit here.

And, you can get your podcast companion of the 200 Truths, including space for your show notes, questions, reflections and AHA moments here.

Take a listen, and let me know what you think.

See you again next week, new episodes Tuesday at 7am UK.
