In this episode, I’m digging into a kind of burnout we don’t talk about enough; and that is, burnout in men. Not the kind that forces you to stop, but the kind that quietly simmers under the surface. The kind that hides behind high performance, long hours, irritability, and emotional shutdown.

As an executive resilience coach, I’ve worked with very high-achieving men who appear to be “doing fine” but are silently running on empty and feeling very dissatisfied with their lives. Burnout in men often goes overlooked and unmanaged, until its effects begin to take serious tolls.  

In this episode, I’ll share:

  • What male-specific burnout actually looks like
  • The physical and emotional signs most men overlook
  • Why numbing (not recovering) keeps the burnout loop going
  • Real strategies to protect your health, time, and relationships
  • And why it’s not weak, but wise, to ask for support
