## Resource

Episode 74 of The Burnout Podcast with Fexingo tackles a question many professionals struggle with: why is it so hard to say no, and how does weak boundary-setting accelerate career burnout? Lucas and Luna explore the 'boundary tax'—the hidden energy cost of routinely saying yes when you mean no. They walk through a specific case from a mid-level marketing manager at a fast-growing tech startup who tracked her boundary violations for two weeks and found she was spending over ten hours a week on tasks she explicitly didn't own. The hosts break down why guilt and fear of missing out drive boundary erosion, and offer three concrete strategies to practice boundary-setting without damaging workplace relationships. This episode is for anyone who feels constantly drained by others' requests and wants to reclaim their time and energy sustainably. #BurnoutPodcast #CareerBurnout #WorkplaceBurnout #Boundaries #SayingNo #WorkLifeBalance #EnergyManagement #GuiltAtWork #FearOfMissingOut #FOMO #Recovery #SustainableCareer #MarketingManager #TechStartup #BoundaryTax #ProfessionalDevelopment #Careers #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
