The Cure for Burnout is Not Self-Care (with Amelia Nagoski)

Season 3 Episode 6

I'm back with part two of our two part burnout series. Today, I am joined by Amelia Nagoski, D.M.A. and we talk about everything from how self-care won’t cure burn out, steps to closing the stress cycle, how faculty members can support doctoral students, and practical advice for showing up for others who may be experiencing burnout. We also talk about capitalism, misogyny, white women feminist, and the toxicity of higher education. This episode is full of nuggets and is one that you will come back to and share with others.
