Burnout Truth #7 - Fawn Hustle | People-pleasing as a survival strategy

Fawn Hustle is Burnout Truth #7, and that's what I'm talking about in this weeks episode of Burnoutology The Podcast.

Fawn Hustle, what does it really mean? It's people-pleasing as a survival strategy dressed up as professionalism.

How do you spot it? Over-apologising. Over-delivering. “Happy to help!” when they’re running on fumes.

Why does it matter? This is trauma, not teamwork.

How many people do you know who wear people-pleasing as a badge of honour? Maybe you've done it yourself.

Let's unpick it in this weeks episode.
