Turning Trauma Into A Brand Identity - Trauma Chic | Burnout Truth #5

Yes, it's time for another episode of Burnoutology the Podcast, and today is all about Burnout Truth #5, Trauma Chic.

You'll have seen it on your instagram feed, and maybe even been sucked in to buying an online course as result of it.

What it really means: Turning your trauma into a branded identity—and calling it empowerment.

How to spot it: “From breakdown to boss.” Monetising pain. Constant oversharing with no recovery.

Why it matters: It glamorises collapse and teaches others to do the same.

Join me again next week for Burnout Truth #6, High Functioning Hell. I mean if this doesn't sound like the cheeriest podcast episode in the world and definitely not one you want to miss right!?
