Have you ever wondered, “Why am I so exhausted when I’m doing everything right?” What if burnout isn’t a personal failure, but a sign that something in your life or work is out of alignment?

Jenn Cassetta sits down with burnout expert, host of the Fried podcast, and author Cait Donovan (The Bouncebackability Factor and Mismatch: Why Good People Burn Out in Good Organizations) to unpack why good people burn out and what it really takes to recover.

Cait shares her own years-long journey through burnout, the symptoms she struggled to explain, and the support that finally helped her heal. Together, they explore the WHO’s definition of burnout, the hidden roots of chronic stress, and why boundaries and resilience aren't always the simple solutions they're made out to be.

From the impact of childhood experiences and constant digital overwhelm to the role of community, access to resources, and workplace culture, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about burnout.

Plus, discover how to recognize the mismatch between your values and your reality, identify what's draining your energy, and start creating the conditions you need to truly thrive.
