The Hidden Stressors Outside Work Fuelling Emotional Exhaustion
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.
