Job burnout is recognized by the World Health Organization, but there is also caregiver burnout, emotional burnout, and parental burnout that leads to #nervousexhaustion . While self-care helps you manage your stress it does not solve the structural inequalities that create the conditions that cause burnout. We need to use behavior change science to create individual, organizational and cultural change to prevent burnout.
Dr Jacqueline Kerr is a mom, behavior scientist and burnout survivor. She is in the Top 1% of Most Cited Scientists worldwide and her work has informed the US Center for Disease Control Community Prevention Guide. Dr. Kerr left her position as a public health professor in 2018. She now hosts the Podcast 'Overcoming Working Mom Burnout' where she interviews researchers, diversity experts, and leadership coaches, focusing on #mentalillness . She is on a mission to dismantle the causes of working mom burnout and #genderbias with individual, organizational and cultural change through behavior change science.

Recognizing burnout is half the battle to stopping burnout before it starts. Thanks for shining a light on this overwhelming topic.

Right, awareness is the first step, but I hope we can also move to action. May is Mental Health Awareness Month but today is Mental Health Action Day!

"If you address the causes of burnout, you remove the costly loss of talent" LOVE this quote. This TEDx talk helped me think more proactively about how I lead my team.

Employers don’t backfill positions when someone is out on leave or sick. So they decide to dump that person’s workload in the existing team members who already have a ton on their plate.

Personal development IS professional development. 100% agree. Thanks so much for so eloquently and graciously sharing your story along with the challenge to make little changes. Because, together, our individual changes to prevent burnout amongst ourselves and each other will lead to the systemic changes we need. Thank you for your leadership on this important topic!!

Hi 👋🏾. Here’s some things you could try. 1. Let others take care of you (ask for help) 2. Exercise gently 3. Meditate 4. Pick up your hobbies and prioritize your soulcare - things you love to do. 5. Be intentional about winding down with calming light in the evening, no screen time and sleep

men also get burned out too, also this talk doesnt apply to the general population and there were no tips on burnout, so the title is super misleading. I dont think this is generalized to the entire population.
