Burnout, Trauma & Survival Mode (ft. Jenny Le)

About this episode

This episode explores the deeper causes of burnout and reframes it as a signal of misalignment in one's life.

What if burnout isn’t about working too hard—but about your entire system being out of alignment. In this powerful episode of INsights & Straight Talk with Rodd Duff & Producer Barbie, we go far beyond the surface-level conversation around stress and burnout. This is not about “pushing through” or simply fixing your mindset—this is about understanding why so many people in the Great Middle Class are doing everything right… and still feeling completely off. Rodd Duff and Producer Barbie unpack the deeper truth behind modern burnout: a full-system breakdown affecting your physical energy, mental clarity, emotional stability, and sense of purpose. Through a candid and eye-opening discussion, this episode reframes burnout as a signal—not a failure—and introduces a new lens on survival mode, dopamine regulation, and the misalignment that’s quietly impacting millions today.
