Burn Bright, Not Out: Preventing Burnout with Wendy Macartney

Sound of Breaking Glass

In this episode of Sound of Breaking Glass, host Hristina Vaceva speaks with Wendy Macartney, founder of Burn Bright, about recognizing and recovering from burnout, especially among high performers and neurodivergent individuals. Wendy shares her insights on the early warning signs of burnout, how to restore balance, and the role of self-care in preventing burnout from taking hold.

Key Takeaways:

  • Burnout often starts subtly, with small signs like overworking or neglecting self-care. The key is to recognize these signs early.
  • Sleep is the foundation of mental and physical well-being. When sleep suffers, it can lead to a cascade of other issues like poor nutrition and lack of exercise.
  • High performers may be more prone to burnout because they believe they can push through anything, often to their detriment.
  • Addressing burnout is not just about mindset—it’s also about managing external factors like work environment and personal pressures.
  • To recover, it's crucial to acknowledge and validate your own experiences and take steps to prioritize self-care, including mindfulness practices and setting boundaries.

Tune in to this episode to learn practical tools for recognizing and preventing burnout early, especially if you are navigating a challenging career transition right now!
