The Burnout Epidemic with Jennifer Moss

Season 3, Ep. 8

Please join me in my bubbling excitement as Jennifer Moss, author of the new book The Burnout Epidemic published by Harvard Business Press joins our conversation.


I can see this book is challenging leaders, teams and organizations to re-think burnout and create healthier, happier and more productive workplaces. It turns out, ping-pong tables may not be enough.


Jennifer vulnerably shares her life experiencing burnout and pandemic (personal and professional) obstacles as well as the systems and mindset she creates, to avoid burnout and interrupt unhealthy patterns. I strongly recommend starting with the last chapter first: Take Care of Yourself, Too.


We talk about:

·      What is burnout?

·      Leadership and leading with empathy and curiosity.

·      A beautiful new take on “professional eavesdropping!”

·      Slowing down the lunch line.


It’s time to address the burnout epidemic – personally and in your role, as a leader. This book fuels our conversation to inspire re-thinking wellness programs, leadership check-ins, and what organizations can do to prevent burnout and build strategies to support self-care, resilience, open communication, and innovation.


Newsflash:  It’s a two-way street! The solution to burnout at work is not about ‘forced fun’ in fact consider leading with good intentions, sincere curiosity how people are really doing and if imbued with empathy then this will build trust and allow for fun and an authentic and productive culture.


Jennifer expresses: “Leaders, I believe in us.” 


Jennifer, I sincerely thank you for your inspiration (today as well as for guidance in this book) encouraging us to battle burnout and support a thriving workplace culture during this pandemic.

    OVERFLOWING TODAY! Welcome Sharon!!! ... an accomplished author, actress, producer, host, media personality, and health and wellness advocate whose vibrant career has spanned decades. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and later making her home in New York, Sharon is widely recognized as a cultural ambassador and respected voice in media and storytelling. Her work radiates resilience, authenticity, and a deep commitment to community.She is the author of the Amazon best-seller Sheribaby: A Little Girl’s BIG Voice in Post-Independence Jamaica—a story that’s been described as compelling, heartfelt, and full of spirit. The book introduces us to Sheribaby, a sharp, spunky, and insightful six-and-a-half-year-old who observes and questions the world around her with wit, courage, and a voice far beyond her years.Written in the rich dialect of Jamaica, Sheribaby is refreshingly relatable, speaking in the language of the people and offering a bold, honest, and sometimes humorous look at Jamaican society—“stirring the pot like it’s never been stirred by a seven-year-old!” (ooh! Check out the glossary in the back of the book too!)Sharon’s recent recognition as the winner of the 2025 “What’s Your Story, Jamaica?” storytelling competition is just one of many well-earned accolades that reflect her impact and brilliance.We are so thankful you’re here with us today, Sharon, to share your inspiration, your writing strategies, and what it’s been like to bring this unforgettable book to life.Please join me in giving a warm and heartfelt welcome to the one and only Sharon Gordon.
