There’s tired, there’s exhausted, and then there’s burnout. Burnout is a diagnosable disorder that can manifest when the person is overworking themselves. They feel overwhelmed, they’re not recognizing their own accomplishments, and they compare themselves to everyone around them.

And if you don’t stop working and take care of yourself, your body will do it for you.

This week we’re talking about Sian’s burnout diagnosis and what she’s learned from it. Taking care of one’s self is so, so important and our host is taking the steps to make sure she is healthy and supported.

We have a problem. Actually, we have two. Food waste and food loss are environmental issues that are easily avoidable, as long as we all know how to avoid them. By changing the ways in which we do things, and choosing to do better things (😉) we can solve the food waste and food loss issue in this country. 

But what is the difference between food waste and food loss? 

In this week's episode, Sian will be explaining the difference between food waste and food loss. She’ll also be giving you tips and tricks on how to help curb this loss as an individual and as a community.

Ladies and gentlemen, your sister in waste has a very controversial topic to share with you today and we hope that you stay to the end of the episode to hear what she has to say. This week we are talking about all the ways environmentalism is a privilege. What we mean by that is, it is a privilege to think about the environment, when the first thing on your mind is putting food on the table. 

So how can we make environmentalism more accessible and reduce the points of barriers to contribute to environmentalism in Trinidad and Tobago?

In this week's episode, Sian will be expressing her opinion on privilege, explaining how we can be realistic about our environmental work, and how small actions matter as much as big actions.

Get ready to be inspired as we unpack Sian Youngs’s incredible journey as a waste management trailblazer. As someone who has spent years in the Environmental Projects Department, Sian shares the empowering story of how she has combatted racial and gender bias in the workplace head-on.

In this episode, she shares pivotal moments, including the story of how her boss stepped in to ensure she earned her well-deserved respect.  As one of the few Black women in her field, she was able to depend on an amazing mentor and her own determination to get the recognition she deserved. Surrounded by colleagues mainly of Indian or Caucasian descent, Sian stood out with unparalleled expertise and training. Despite being the most experienced, she often found herself unheard. 

So what motivated her to keep going in such a hostile environment? Find out in this week’s episode of the Do Better Things Podcast.
