When someone pushes your buttons—at work, at home, or anywhere—it can feel like all your calm and clarity vanish in an instant. But these uncomfortable moments are not just disruptions; they’re powerful opportunities for self-leadership and burnout recovery.

In this episode, I share a personal story of being triggered by my own financial planner, plus a client story from the workplace, to show how old patterns and fears shape our reactions—and how you can gently shift from reactivity to calm, clear response.

We’ll explore:
✅ Why burnout makes you more reactive
✅ What Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems teach us about triggers
✅ Practical tools to pause, reset, and choose your best response
✅ How to stop giving your power away when someone hits your buttons

Takeaway:
These moments can become training grounds for self-mastery—not setbacks.

In this episode, we explore a surprising yet research-backed path to recovery from burnout: gratitude. If you’re working in health care—or in any high-stress, high-stakes profession—you might feel like there’s no room for gratitude when your world is collapsing. But what if it could be one of the most powerful tools to reverse the helplessness and disconnection of burnout?

Dex shares stories, science, and practical exercises to help you reconnect with what’s still working—even when everything else feels broken. We cover:

• Why gratitude doesn’t mean minimizing your suffering
• How it restores energy, mood, and resilience—without toxic positivity
• How healthcare professionals can begin to recover their sense of agency
• The neuroscience behind gratitude and its physiological benefits
• Real-world examples, including insights from “Compassionomics”
• How to use gratitude as an act of self-respect and resistance

This episode is especially for caregivers, clinicians, and professionals who feel like they’ve given too much—and have nothing left. But it’s for anyone who wants to heal.

Are you “just” stressed, or quietly burning out?

In high-stakes careers, chronic stress can feel normal—even expected. But when left unchecked, it turns into burnout: a state of emotional, mental, and physical depletion that affects your performance, relationships, and health.

In this episode, Dex explores:

• The key differences between chronic stress and burnout
• How elite professionals unknowingly normalise stress
• 10 workplace and societal forces that accelerate burnout
• The 12 warning signs you're slipping from stress into burnout
• Why burnout erodes your relationships—including the one with yourself
• What to do when rest and recovery no longer work

If you've lost your spark, your drive, or your confidence—don’t wait. Burnout is not a personal failure. It's a sign you're running out of fuel in a system that never lets up.
