Episode 7

Beating Burnout with Amelia Nagoski

Cass sits down with Amelia Nagoski, who co-authored (with her identical twin sister, Emily Nagoski) the NYT bestselling book, "Burnout: The Secret to Solving Your Stress Cycle".

Amelia shares that it is not just being a woman trying to meet society's "unmeetable expectations" that is a primary cause of burnout, but falling anywhere outside of what the mainstream considers to be the 'norm' in terms of race, sex, gender, appearance or ability. Listen to hear about:

  • Human Giver Syndrome and why it's a fundamental cause of burnout
  • The Headwinds/Tailwinds metaphor that perfectly describes why we're blind to our own privilege
  • What you can do immediately to solve your stress cycle and prevent burnout
