Burnout: How to know when enough is enough, featuring Dame Kelly Holmes and Ruby Barker

Boots presents Taboo Talk

Decision-fatigue, hypervigilance, a loss of interest or pride in work, a feeling of being constantly swamped and overwhelmed: sound familiar? If so, you could be suffering from burnout. In this episode, Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes and Bridgerton’s Ruby Barker discuss their personal experiences of burnout – how it manifested, how it affected their personal and professional lives, and how they managed it.

Please be aware that this episode contains discussions of self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Do bear that in mind when considering whether to listen.
