When Burnout Turns Coping Into Addiction - Alina Meyer-Riad | Season 2 Episode 5

In this episode of Share. Inspire. Explore., Chris Wilson sits down again with resilience coach and addiction counsellor Alina Meyer-Riad to look at the habits we reach for when burnout sets in.

Overworking, endless scrolling, a drink to take the edge off: these coping mechanisms start as a way to survive, and can slowly turn into something that holds us back.

Alina explains why these patterns often stay hidden at work but surface hardest at home, how a coping tool can tip into dependency, and the small, honest steps that help break the cycle.

Share. Inspire. Explore. is the podcast from Where I'm At, honest conversations on burnout, career change, and what comes next for working professionals.
