What I Wish I Knew At 30
Hospitality has long rewarded resilience, endurance, pressure tolerance, and self-sacrifice. But what happens when the identity people adopt to survive in kitchens… starts destroying them mentally? In this episode of What I Wish I Knew at 30, Fran Harper sits down with Kris Hall, founder and CEO of The Burnt Chef Project, to explore burnout, chef mental health, ADHD, emotional exhaustion, leadership pressure, and the hidden mental health crisis inside hospitality culture. Kris shares his own journey through depression, masking, anxiety, and secretly attending therapy while working in hospitality, before building a global movement helping hospitality workers access mental health support around the world. Together they discuss: * burnout in hospitality * chef mental health * workplace stress * emotional exhaustion * ADHD & masking * leadership burnout * self-sacrifice culture * asking for help * identity collapse * sustainable leadership This is a conversation about pressure, purpose, identity, and why resilience without self-care eventually becomes survival mode.
