The Balanced Badass Podcast®

For experienced professionals who are good at their jobs, worn down by them, and not sure what to do about it. Each episode takes one piece of that problem, from what’s driving the burnout to how you’d pick a next move you can defend. Some are solo, some have guests, and every one ends with something you can try this week.

    I’m looking for guests who can speak to burnout and to what comes after it, whether that’s a career change, a new direction, or a different relationship with work. If your story or your expertise touches both, tell me about it.

    You might be a good fit if you:

    • Help people recover from burnout and work out what’s next
    • Coach, recruit, or advise people through career changes
    • Are a therapist or counselor who works with work stress, identity, and big transitions
    • Went through burnout yourself and changed careers, and can say what worked and what didn’t
    • Work in HR or company culture and see why good people leave
    • Study or write about work, burnout, and careers

    Experts in sleep, stress, or mindfulness are welcome too, as long as you can tie what you do to both burnout and career change.
