About this listen

In this episode, Margaret and I take on burnout—what it actually is, where the term came from, and how to tell when you’re not just tired, but something deeper is cracking. We dig into the history, the Maslach Inventory, moral injury, and why burnout isn’t in the DSM (yet). We also share our own unhinged burnout moments (yes, mine involves harmonica) and explore how to tell the difference between burnout, depression, and just being in the wrong place. Reference: MBI Self Test: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16OJpRvvrGfs8SEEXgKk_Em8NgZerZkdo/view Takeaways: Did I buy a harmonica during a burnout spiral? Yes. Was it helpful? Also yes. Burnout isn’t just a vibe—it has a whole inventory. We took it, and let’s just say… some of us are more charred than others. Moral injury hits different when you’re the one holding the clipboard. Especially when someone else made the call. Burnout and depression aren’t the same—but they like to hang out. And sometimes you don’t know which one’s driving. Not all coping strategies are cute. Some look like spreadsheets. Some look like chili’s. Some look like crying in a hospital bathroom. -- Ready to take your exam prep to the next level?
