Experts Irralee Andrzejowska & Michael Leiter share how single people can heal from burnout, manage work stress, and recover energy.

It is so easy to get burnt out when you're single. There’s no one else to pick up the slack, no one to share the mental load, and no partner to lean on when work and life feel overwhelming. But healing from burnout is possible.

Bree speaks with Irralee Andrzejowska (SIRPA practitioner and physio) and Michael Leiter (burnout researcher and author) about how single people can recognise, prevent, and heal from burnout.

Together, they explore the unique challenges singles face when navigating exhaustion, loneliness, and work stress; and how to restore energy, balance, and joy.

You’ll learn:

•The signs and stages of burnout, and how to spot them early

•Why burnout can feel harder when you’re single and “doing everything alone”

•Practical strategies to recover your energy and build resilience

•How to set boundaries and prevent burnout at work

•Ways to nurture yourself with compassion when life feels overwhelming

Whether you’re struggling with work stress, emotional exhaustion, or the pressure of doing life solo, this episode will give you practical tools to heal and create more balance.

Bree is currently in Mumbai, India.
