About Episode
Episode 25, Part 2 brings you the next chapter of April's work and burnout lived experience. In this second half, she moves into the education field again, but this time early education to help bring a balance to her life now that she is a mother. This time, she faces systematic issues such as role ambiguity/conflict, poor leadership and management, under-resourcing, and lack of training. If you haven't caught the first half of her story, it's worth checking out before delving into this chapter. April describes herself as a go-getter and a forever learner, and these aspects of her character start to shine in this chapter regarding what she is learning about her health and well-being at work. April shares in this episode where she is now and how she is crafting a way of life that works with her well-being. Her experience allows us to recognise and reflect on what might be happening to us and inspires and encourages us to make changes to support our well-being. No job/career is worth our health. Thanks, April, for your generosity and authenticity.

About the Host
My name is Shannon Swales, and I am a perfectly imperfect Clinical Psychologist. I am passionate about supporting others with the mental health knowledge and skills to thrive in this life, to move from chronically stressed, burnt-out states to one of wellness. My Telehealth practice, Burnout Psychology Support, is a therapeutic space for anyone who feels overwhelmed, lost, alone, trapped and exhausted every single minute of every single day and looking for support to find a way out, a path through the chronic stress brought about by their work or caregiving responsibilities. A state I know all too well after burning out in February 2021, costing me my ability to work and forcing me to move from caring for others to caring for myself. A move that has helped me to the place of wellness I am at today, with the ability to move back to the career I was trained for, caring for others in a more balanced way.
