Burnout Isn't a Badge of Honour: Here's How to Get Out
About the episode
In this episode, Hannah covers:
• Christina Maslach's 3-component burnout framework
• Why "greedy jobs" in finance, law, tech, and consulting are burnout factories
• How to separate job demands from personality patterns (and why you need to address both)
• The financial reality of burnout: the 15% salary hit most people don't see coming
• Tactical schedule changes to contain the time zone problem
• Why therapy alone isn't enough and what coaching does differently
• When to consider a lateral role change (and what you actually trade away)
• How to choose between career acceleration and your health
The truth: You can have a thriving career and not be sick. But you can't have both at the same time if you keep doing the same things.
