🎧 Burnout Recovery: What Actually Works After the Crash

0 comments

Sarah Oelschig, ICF-certified coach, HR leader, and author of Unburned, joins Sales POP! to explain that real burnout recovery comes from subtracting commitments, not adding more self-care. She shows how to recognize hidden burnout, reconnect with what matters, and rebuild through small habits that actually last.

Host John Golden and Sarah dig into why burnout follows you home, why the always-on employee is the wrong role model, and what HR teams can do about it.

In this episode:

  • Why doesn’t burnout stay at work, even on weekends?
  • What are the hidden signs of burnout that others never see?
  • Why does adding more self-care make burnout worse?
  • How do small, two-minute habits rebuild your energy?
  • How can managers spot burnout and build psychological safety?
  • Why does praising your most overworked employee backfire?
