Burnout
EPISODE SUMMARY:
We’re kicking off Season 3 of “Until It’s Fixed” with a conversation that is top-of-mind for a lot of people right now: Burnout. Of course, it’s hard to talk about burnout without also talking about “quiet quitting,” a phrase we’ve been seeing everywhere lately, from social media to academic journals. Join host Callie Chamberlain and guests Amy Carsto from Optum Behavioral Health and Clayton Farris, actor and content creator, for a talk about what causes burnout, how it affects our health, and most importantly—what we can do about it.
HIGHLIGHTS:
