Summary

Burnout is often treated like an individual problem, but what if the real issue is the system people are working inside? In this episode of Wired to Work, Jess speaks with Cherri Forsyth about what burnout actually looks like, how it builds over time, and why recovery, not just resilience, has to be part of the conversation. They explore the difference between acute stress and chronic burnout, the warning signs leaders and teams often miss, and how workplace culture can quietly push people past capacity. It’s a grounded, practical conversation about performance, pressure, and what it really takes to build healthier, more sustainable workplaces. In this episode: • How burnout develops over time • The difference between stress and burnout • Why recovery matters as much as performance • What leaders miss when they tell people to just push through • How workplace culture can either fuel burnout or reduce it This conversation is for leaders, HR teams, and anyone trying to build a workplace where people can perform without running themselves into the ground. If you’ve ever wondered how to spot burnout earlier, support people better, or create a culture that values recovery as much as results, this one is for you. Wired to Work with Jess Chapman.
