41. Rewind: The Honest Truth about Healing from Burnout
Listen now
Description
Exactly 2 years ago, I decided to quit my engineering job. This conversation reveals the conflict between corporate success and seeking a place where one's soul feels at home. The journey wasn't just about leaving a job; it was a  journey for fulfillment that challenged me to confront deep-set fears and societal pressures. So, for the last episode of 2023, I wanted to re-release the first episode of this podcast: "The Honest Truth about Healing from Burnout" This episode shares my story and the reasons why this podcast is so important to me. __ What happens when you finally decide that what you've been doing for most of your life just isn't working out for you anymore? My name is Hetal Baman and today, I'm telling my story of reinvention after experiencing burnout and depression. One of my very best friends - Catherine Santis (AKA Cat) is interviewing me today. I’m addressing what happened with the first iteration of this podcast and why I deleted EVERYTHING after over a year of recording.  Sometimes, when your job is making you sick and you’re leading a life shaped around other people's expectations, you do have to burn it all down. And that is exactly what I did. I realized the degree I worked tirelessly for landed me in a position that wasn’t making me happy. And that realization led me down the long path to healing. Why am I re-launching the podcast now? What’s different and what can you expect moving forward? I lay it all out for you today.  Check out the shownotes to learn more!
