About this listen

In this episode of 'The Slog Pod', the hosts explore the idea that burnout and other stress-related issues are not personal failings but symptoms of a sick culture or system. They argue that the environment—in broader society and specific workplaces—plays a crucial role in these problems. The discussion identifies several cultural distortions, such as constant productivity demands, emotional dysregulation, loneliness, and learned helplessness, all contributing to mental health issues. In workplaces, symptoms like unacknowledged emotional labor, performative leadership, and the false notion that wellness is an individual's responsibility rather than the company's are highlighted. The episode advocates for a shift in perspective from blaming individuals to examining the systems they operate within, suggesting that understanding and diagnosing these systems through a mental health lens can lead to better outcomes for everyone involved. #BurnoutCulture, #SickSystems, #TheSlogPod, #PerformativeLeadership, #RethinkWellness, #MentalHealthMatters, #SystemicStress, #TraumaInformedWorkplace
