    Occupational Wellness: Eradicating the Burnout Culture

    Are you living to work... or working to live? Most people believe burnout is a personal problem. The research says otherwise. In Episode 5 of the PHIT4LYFE Masterclass Series, military intelligence veteran, Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and Founder & CEO of PHIT4LYFE Integrative Health, Tiquita Stewart, explains why Occupational Wellness is not about loving your job—it's about whether your work environment is designed to support long-term human performance. Using military operational strategy, behavioural science, leadership principles, and workforce research, Tiquita explores how workplace culture, undefined expectations, and the "always-on" mindset create chronic stress that no amount of personal resilience can fully overcome. This episode challenges leaders to rethink productivity, employee engagement, after-hours communication, and organisational design while giving professionals practical strategies to establish healthy boundaries without sacrificing performance. If you're an executive, HR professional, manager, entrepreneur, business owner, or employee navigating workplace stress, this episode provides evidence-informed strategies to improve occupational wellness and build healthier, more sustainable organisations.
