Burnout at Work: Why You Don’t Need to Work Harder to Matter More

Season 1 · Episode 7

Friday, February 27, 2026 • Duration 20:44

Burnout at work is affecting more professionals than ever, especially Gen Z and millennials who care deeply about their jobs but feel constantly overwhelmed and exhausted. In this episode of I Hate My Job! Now What?, Sarah explains why burnout isn’t a motivation problem and why working harderwon’t make you more valuable.

Instead, she challenges the culture of urgency, overwork, and constant responsiveness, and invites you to shift from measuring success by volume to measuring it by impact. Through real client patterns, research, and career stories, Sarah explores how burnout often shows up when capable people areoperating below their strategic level.

If you’re burned out, frustrated, or stuck in a cycle of doing more but feeling less effective, this episode offers a calmer, more sustainable way to think about work—and practical reflection questions to help you work differently.

Reflection Questions:

Is this a moment for full effort—or is good enough actually appropriate here?Before I say yes, what problem am I really being asked to solve?Who else should be involved to increase the impact of this work?If I’m irritated by this task, is it a signal that I need to reframe how I’m approaching it?

Checking In on Your Relationship With Your Career- A Quiz!

Season 1 · Episode 6

Thursday, February 12, 2026 • Duration 18:10

What if you evaluated your career the same way you evaluate your relationships?

In this Valentine’s-themed episode, I invite you to take a simple four-question “quiz” to check in on your relationship with your work. We explore four common career patterns—including outgrowing a role, working in an unbalanced dynamic, going through the motions, and the on-again, off-again relationship so many people recognize.

This isn’t a “quit your job” episode—it’s an honest, compassionate check-in designed to help you notice patterns, feel less alone, and reflect on what you want next, at your own pace.

Quiz:1. How stretched do I feel in my current role — intellectually, creatively, or professionally?

2. How trusted do I feel where I work?

3. How energized do I feel by my work most days?

4. How often does the question, ‘Is this still right?’ come up for me?
