Summary
Burnout is often associated with the workplace—but what about the toll it takes before someone is even employed?In this episode, we explore how burnout can show up in less visible ways, particularly in the emotional and mental strain of searching for work. From ongoing rejection and uncertainty to the pressure of staying motivated, the journey toward employment can carry a weight that often goes unrecognized.Joined by special guest Kayla Denny, LEAP Employment Counselor and Workshop Coordinator with Workforce Development, this conversation brings insight into the realities many individuals face while navigating employment systems and expectations. Together, we discuss how burnout can impact confidence, mental health, and recovery, and why acknowledging these experiences is an important step toward support and understanding.
