What is No Time for Burnout about?
No Time for Burnout is a podcast about preventing burnout before it happens, hosted by burnout prevention specialist Sophie Anderson. Each short episode explores a relatable scenario, like being at capacity or finding it hard to say no, to help you build self-awareness and self-leadership. You'll recognise whether you're at risk, understand what burnout looks like, and walk away with practical strategies you can use straight away.

Who is the podcast for?
No Time for Burnout is for high-performing women who are already at capacity and have zero time to fall apart, including women in leadership, senior roles and business owners. It's for the woman who looks fine on the outside but is drowning on the inside, still showing up, still saying yes, and still helping everybody.

How long are the episodes?
Episodes run between 10 and 25 minutes. There's no intro or outro, no producer and no editing effects, just one honest recording focused on what matters to you. They're deliberately short so they fit into a busy day.

Is burnout preventable?
Yes, burnout is predictable and preventable. Workplaces can reduce the risk through the six areas of work life identified by researcher Dr Christina Maslach: workload, control, reward, community, fairness and values. Individuals can prevent it through the hundreds of intervention points in the Anderson Model of Burnout Prevention™ (AMBP), organised across three prevention pillars. With self-awareness and the right changes, you don't have to burn out. It's what I practise myself.

How do I know if I'm heading towards burnout?
The clearest early sign is the feeling that you have too much to do and not enough time or energy to do it. Other signs include never getting to the bottom of your list, body aches, tension or pain, and feeling increasingly negative about your workplace or work. People most at risk take pride in their work, tie it to their identity, hold sky-high standards, find breaks and rest very uncomfortable, and rarely ask for or accept help.
