In Episode 41 of the Thrive and Shine HR podcast, 🌟 hosts Katherine Fry and Jen Trumm dive into the all-too-common issue of burnout in the HR profession.
With warmth, authenticity, and even a touch of humor, they share personal stories and actionable insights to help listeners navigate through challenging times.
🎙️ Katherine opens up about the stress of juggling a packed week of client training, while Jen reflects on the overwhelming process of implementing a new HR payroll system.
Together, they explore how self-awareness, seeking support, and taking proactive steps can help manage stress and prevent burnout.
They also dive into the signs of burnout that often go unnoticed, like emotional exhaustion, loss of motivation, or even physical symptoms.
Jen and Katherine remind us that burnout isn’t just about overwork—it’s about the disconnection from your sense of purpose and well-being. 🌱
They share small but impactful ways to start the journey toward recovery, from creating space for rest to setting boundaries that protect your energy.
Through candid conversations and practical advice, Katherine and Jen encourage listeners to pause, reflect, and take action toward their well-being.
Their reminder?
Listen to yourself—truly listen—especially when life feels overwhelming.
