Episode notes

In this opening episode of Systems Check, we explore why burnout isn’t a mindset problem—and what’s actually happening in your nervous system when chronic stress takes over. We’ll break down the realities high performers in tech and other demanding careers face, including emotional resilience, communication challenges, boundaries, anxiety, depression, and the pressure to keep functioning no matter the cost. Most importantly, we begin the conversation about how to move from self-blame to real repair.
