Burnout Isn’t Your Fault: It’s a System Failure | Basia Perez
Description
Basia Perez is a healthcare advisor who works at the intersection of burnout, leadership, and workplace culture. She helps organizations confront the deeper issues — the systems, expectations, and norms that lead to burnout, high turnover, and declining morale.
Her perspective challenges a common belief: that burnout is a personal failure. In reality, it’s often a system failure.
In this insightful conversation, Basia shares:
• How she viewed work, success, and responsibility in her 20s
• Moments of tension between wanting to succeed and feeling overwhelmed
• What young adults entering demanding careers often misunderstand about burnout
• Why burnout is rarely just an individual problem
• The biggest systemic issues in healthcare that fuel burnout
• Practical advice on knowing your worth and protecting yourself
If you’re in your 20s (or beyond) feeling exhausted at work, questioning if you’re the problem, or entering a high-pressure field like healthcare, this episode reframes burnout and offers real clarity.
