The 5 Burnout Patterns I Hear Most as a Coach

Six months into the season, I stopped to count what I was actually hearing. Across dozens of 1:1s, different jobs, different cities, different titles, the same five patterns kept walking in the door. So this is the episode where I name them, in the order they tend to happen to a person. We start with the work, the kind that has no off switch. Then the person above you, and the Gallup finding that 70% of whether a team thrives or burns out comes down to one manager. Then the quiet turn where you stop blaming the situation and start blaming yourself. Then the bottom, where the job stops being something you do and becomes something you are. And finally the turn, the part I didn't want to end without, because six months in I've watched it happen for real. Underneath all five is the framework I use to map this stuff with clients, the five Cs: Conditions, Culture, Convictions, Capacity, and Choices. I'll show you how each pattern is really one of them in disguise, and I've backed every section with the research, from the WHO's definition of burnout to what actually helps people climb out.

How Misaligned Habits Affect Your Wellness with Courtney Townley

This week I'm joined by Courtney Townley, a health and self-leadership coach and author of The Consistency Code. We get into integrity pain, that nagging discomfort when your daily choices don't match what you actually want for your life, why willpower isn't the fix, and the four practices behind her Consistency Code: awareness, organization, follow through, and realignment. If you've ever set a goal, fallen off, and then beaten yourself up about it, this one's for you. Falling out of alignment is a given. How fast you get back is what actually matters.

Slinging Burnout Advice Without A Diagnosis

I'm a burnout coach, and I'm about to tell you why most burnout advice doesn't work. Including some of mine. I'm unpacking the reframe that has changed how I work with every single client. The advice is not failing. The advice is answering a question that is not your question. I'll walk you through the 5 Cs (Conditions, Culture, Convictions, Choices, and Capacity), the five drivers of burnout, and show you why most popular burnout advice is built around one of them and fails the other four. By the end of the episode I tell you the one piece of advice I had to retire from my own practice, and why I think it has done more harm than good for a lot of people.

Values-Based Recovery vs. the Burnout Hustle with Lisa Shubin

What happens when the wellness coach burns out? Lisa Shubin knows. She built a career helping people inside corporate and healthcare systems take care of themselves, then had to figure out how to take her own advice. In this episode, we talk about the gap between how organizations talk about wellness and how work actually gets done, the signals your body sends before a breakdown, and how her Ignite framework helps people build sustainable recovery rooted in values instead of hustle. I’ve been looking forward to this one because Lisa is someone I’ve had the chance to work with through coaching, and her perspective on burnout is shaped by real experience on both sides. This one’s full of honest, practical wisdom.

The Real Reason You Keep Almost Quitting But Never Do

There's a reason you keep almost quitting but never do, and it has nothing to do with motivation.  In this episode, I apply Kurt Lewin's three-stage Change Model to career change during burnout. You'll learn why unfreezing is harder than the actual move, what job search paralysis really is, and the stage most people skip that sends them straight back into the same burnout with a different logo on the door.  Resources mentioned: * Career Reboot Strategy Session (https://stan.store/tarakermiet/p/career-reboot [https://stan.store/tarakermiet/p/career-reboot]) * Career Pivot Playbook (https://stan.store/tarakermiet/p/career-pivot-playbook [https://stan.store/tarakermiet/p/career-pivot-playbook]) Got something to say?
