In this episode, we explore a surprising yet research-backed path to recovery from burnout: gratitude. If you’re working in health care—or in any high-stress, high-stakes profession—you might feel like there’s no room for gratitude when your world is collapsing. But what if it could be one of the most powerful tools to reverse the helplessness and disconnection of burnout?

Dex shares stories, science, and practical exercises to help you reconnect with what’s still working—even when everything else feels broken. We cover:

• Why gratitude doesn’t mean minimizing your suffering
• How it restores energy, mood, and resilience—without toxic positivity
• How healthcare professionals can begin to recover their sense of agency
• The neuroscience behind gratitude and its physiological benefits
• Real-world examples, including insights from “Compassionomics”
• How to use gratitude as an act of self-respect and resistance

This episode is especially for caregivers, clinicians, and professionals who feel like they’ve given too much—and have nothing left. But it’s for anyone who wants to heal.

Are you “just” stressed, or quietly burning out?

In high-stakes careers, chronic stress can feel normal—even expected. But when left unchecked, it turns into burnout: a state of emotional, mental, and physical depletion that affects your performance, relationships, and health.

In this episode, Dex explores:

• The key differences between chronic stress and burnout
• How elite professionals unknowingly normalise stress
• 10 workplace and societal forces that accelerate burnout
• The 12 warning signs you're slipping from stress into burnout
• Why burnout erodes your relationships—including the one with yourself
• What to do when rest and recovery no longer work

If you've lost your spark, your drive, or your confidence—don’t wait. Burnout is not a personal failure. It's a sign you're running out of fuel in a system that never lets up.

You know that guy who’s brilliant—but hard to work with? The one who gets results but leaves a trail of tension behind him?

Maybe you’ve worked with him.
Maybe you’ve been him.

Let's explore:

• What makes driven professionals spiral into burnout
• The real origins of the “Type A” personality label (spoiler: cardiologists, not psychologists)
• Why your brilliance might be getting in your way
• And most importantly: what the “after” version of a high-performing Type A looks and feels like

Think Sherlock Holmes. Or for my American friends, think House M.D.
Hyper-competent. Obsessed. Burned out.

There’s a better way to be excellent—without losing your edge.

High-achieving professionals often suffer in silence when burnout strikes—not because they’re lazy or weak, but because of something deeper: shame. In this episode, we explore how shame silently fuels burnout, why it’s especially common among driven leaders, and how to break the cycle for good.

If you've ever thought, “I should be able to handle this,” or found yourself hiding how bad things really are—this one’s for you.

You'll learn:

• What the Burnout Shame Cycle is and how it traps high performers
• Why shame thrives in high-stakes, high-responsibility environments
• How to spot the warning signs you’re caught in the loop
• Practical strategies to shift from self-judgment to self-leadership
• The first step toward turning burnout into meaningful transformation

Key Insight:
Burnout is not a flaw. It’s a message from your deeper self. When you meet shame with truth and compassion, everything changes.

In this episode, we take a bold look at adversity—not as the thing that breaks you, but as the exact furnace that forges your next level of leadership, clarity, and power.

If you’re a senior professional facing burnout, overwhelm, or high-stakes pressure, this conversation is for you.

We explore:

• Why burnout might be your soul’s wake-up call—not a sign you’ve failed
• The CEO trap: high performance masking deep exhaustion
• How to reframe adversity from “Why me?” to “What now?”
• The difference between coping and transforming
• 3 key moves to break out of burnout—without blowing up your life

You’ll also hear real client stories—like Dan’s, a high-level operator who went from hopeless and trapped to fully re-energized and reconnected to his power. Not by escaping adversity, but by meeting it with a whole new mindset.

Burnout doesn’t mean you're broken. It might mean you’re being invited to lead differently—from deeper presence, truth, and self-respect.

✨ This is transformation, not just survival.
