How Career Burnout Reshapes Your Self-Identity
Season 2
Episode 85
Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
In Episode 85 of The Burnout Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how career burnout doesn't just exhaust you—it fundamentally reshapes how you see yourself. Drawing on the case of a senior marketing executive, they examine the 'identity erosion cycle' where chronic overwork strips away the roles and qualities that define you. The episode offers a practical framework for rebuilding identity separate from your job, starting with a simple 'identity inventory' exercise. Hosts also discuss why traditional self-care often fails when burnout has already altered your sense of self.
