Burnout isn’t only about work. In fact, many people struggling with emotional exhaustion are also carrying stressors outside the workplace that keep burnout going, even when their job “isn’t that bad.”

In 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟭𝟳 of the Share Inspire and Explore Podcast, Chris Wilson explores the external stressors and personal predispositions that fuel burnout and shares practical burnout recovery tools to help you stabilise, protect your energy, and support long-term workplace wellbeing.

We cover:

• Perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of failure, and negative self-talk

• Financial stress, role overload, and caregiving burnout

• Relationship stress and toxic dynamics outside work

• Sleep deprivation, loneliness, life transitions, and chronic illness stress

• Tech overload, doomscrolling, and global stress fatigue

• Small, realistic steps to support healing after burnout

This episode is especially for burnout for professionals, high performers, and anyone recovering from burnout who feels stretched in every area of life.

Obstacles of Burnout Recovery (Part 2) | Shame, Health, Emotion & Burnout Symptoms

Burnout recovery isn’t just about getting better — it’s about understanding what stands in the way of staying well.

In Episode 15 (Part 2) of the Share, Inspire, Explore Podcast, host Chris Wilson is joined by Dr. Ben Searle, organisational psychologist, consultant, and host of the “Mind on the Job” podcast. His work in aligning psychology, systems, and resilience makes him a leading voice in workplace wellbeing.

Together, they continue exploring the six key obstacles that make burnout recovery so complex — focusing on the final four: shame, health, emotion, and the symptoms of burnout itself.

💬 In this episode, they discuss:

🧠 Shame – why silence and stigma can delay recovery.

💊 Health & Illness – how depression, anxiety, and physical fatigue overlap with burnout.

💔 Emotion – dealing with grief, anger, and identity loss in recovery.

🔥 Burnout Symptoms Themselves – how exhaustion, cynicism, and self-doubt make healing harder.

This episode offers practical insights into what to do when you feel stuck — and how to approach recovery with self-compassion, patience, and support.

If you haven’t yet, start with Part 1 for the emotional foundations of burnout recovery:
