About this episode

In this episode, Kelly and Chris Lovett discuss burnout, workplace traps, and sustainable work practices.

Are you still feeling stretched thin by modern work? In this second part of last week’s conversation, Kelly continues the conversation with bestselling UK-based author, TEDx speaker, and executive coach Chris Lovett to discuss burnout, workplace traps, and how to work more sustainably. Chris, the author of Relentless: The Power of Doing Less in a Workplace that Demands More, challenges the culture of constant busyness and reminds us that there is a healthier way to approach our work. Together, they dive deeper into the patterns that quietly lead to burnout, sharing practical tools you can begin using right away. They also share personal stories around the importance of taking breaks, what to do when everything feels important, and how to stop overvaluing what others think. Plus, they explore how to say no to managers in a gentle way. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or like work is constantly demanding more from you, this episode is a powerful reminder that a more calm and intentional way of working is possible!
