Burnout Meets Thriving

Ep 3: When Burnout Culture Takes Over

Feeling exhausted, cynical, and ineffective at work? You're not broken—you may be experiencing burnout, and it's a systemic problem, not a personal failing. In this episode of Burnout Meets Thriving, hosts Farra Winters, MSIOP, and Miriam Gonzalez, MAOL, organizational psychology experts and workplace liberation advocates, unpack the real causes of workplace burnout and why your yoga app won't fix toxic work culture. What You'll Learn: ✅ Why burnout is workplace-specific, distinct from depression, and driven by job demands vs. resources ✅ How toxic workplace patterns (always-on culture, punitive leadership, low psychological safety) trigger chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation ✅ Practical boundary-setting strategies to push back on unsustainable demands—and when it's time to exit entirely 🎧Listener Challenge: Implement one non-negotiable boundary for seven days and track what happens when you reclaim your energy. Let us know how it goes! Whether you're deep in burnout culture or supporting someone who is, this episode will change how you understand workplace stress—and give you tools to start thriving again. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow and subscribe:  @BurnoutMeetsThriving [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCXhsNUrXZY4ekXThEhNig2A] on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram Check out our websites: www.burnoutsupportsociety.com and www.thrivinghuman.life Request a topic or share your workplace stories: https://bit.ly/4qK2suP Follow and subscribe: @BurnoutMeetsThriving on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram Check out our websites: www.burnoutsupportsociety.com [https://www.burnoutsupportsociety.com/] and www.thrivinghuman.life [https://www.thrivinghuman.life/] Request a topic or share your workplace stories: https://bit.ly/4qK2suP [https://bit.ly/4qK2suP]
