Coping 101: Avoiding Burnout w/ Jennifer Moss
Manage episode 416912160 series 3002997
"We want to be driven, but it's about recognizing when you've hit harmonious passion versus obsessive passion. And when it's harmonious, you're still doing things that make you feel joyful. You're still spending time with friends. You're still eating healthy, hanging out with your family. You're balanced. When it's obsessive, you stop doing all of those extra things... you've lost sight of what really matters."
Burnout is something that can happen to anyone, of any age from any background. To help us understand this recently-acknowledged and increasingly widespread issue, we reached out to journalist, syndicated radio columnist, and award-winning author of The Burnout Epidemic, Jennifer Moss. Jennifer has dedicated a large part of her career to researching, writing about and educating people on Burnout and here we break down what it looks like, who’s most at risk, and most importantly how to avoid its potentially devastating effects.
Presented by c89.5 in partnership with Seattle Children's, Coping 101 is an ongoing series led by students in Nathan Hale High School's Podcast Club. We're on a mission to destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective, with additional support from 4Culture, The Washington State Department of Health, Hansmire Builders and Compass Health - NW Washington's Behavioral Healthcare leader. No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are healthy ways to cope. Get started with more episodes, and find community-centric resources online at c895.org/coping101
