Burnout & Boundaries with Chris Lovett (Pt. 1 of 2)

About this episode

Kelly and Chris Lovett discuss burnout and sustainable work practices in the first part of their conversation.

Are you feeling stretched thin by modern work and wondering how to keep going without burning out? In this episode, Kelly is joined by bestselling UK-based author, TEDx speaker, and executive coach Chris Lovett for part one of a two-part conversation on burnout, workplace traps, and how to work more sustainably. Chris shares insights from his new book, Relentless: The Power of Doing Less in a Workplace that Demands More, which has been praised as the ultimate anti-busyness playbook for anyone tired of feeling overwhelmed. Together, they explore the common patterns that quietly lead high performers toward burnout, practical ways to create more calm in the workday, and how to decide what to stop doing when everything feels important. If you’re ready to protect your energy, work more sustainably, and create more space for the life you actually want, this conversation is for you!
