 How do you know when to keep going—and when it’s time to walk away?Not just stress. Not just pressure.But something deeper your body can no longer ignore. In this episode, David Greenwood joins Christy Honeycutt for a real, unfiltered conversation on burnout—what it looks like, how it builds, and why so many high-performing professionals miss the signs until it’s too late. This is not a surface-level conversation about being “too busy.”It’s a deeper look at what happens when work, life, and constant pressure collide—and start showing up in your body, your habits, and your identity. Together, they unpack what people often overlook:Why burnout isn’t just about workloadWhy stress doesn’t stay in your head—it lives in your bodyAnd why pushing through can sometimes do more harm than good From caregiving responsibilities to the “always-on” culture of modern work, David shares practical, real-world insight on how burnout develops—and what it actually takes to move through it. We also get into the real conversations:Health. Boundaries. Leadership. Identity. Change.And the truth?If your work is making you physically sick, it’s no longer something to manage—it’s something to address. If you’re navigating pressure, leading teams, or questioning your current path—this isn’t theory.This is reality. Burnout often shows up physically—not just mentally One early sign: losing interest in the things you once loved Stress is stored in the body, not just the mind The “always-on” culture is quietly fueling burnout Caregiving, life pressure, and work all compound burnout Awareness is the first step—but action must follow You don’t always need to quit—but you do need a plan Sometimes healing starts with simple, physical reset habits Not all burnout looks the same—context matters Leadership plays a role in either fueling or reducing burnout Burnout isn’t weakness—it’s a signal Real change starts when you stop ignoring that signal 00:00 Introduction & David’s background01:20 The personal story behind burnout03:19 Burnout across life stages (career, kids, aging parents)05:31 The myth of “simple fixes” for burnout07:04 Employer awareness & responsibility09:45 The impact of “always-on” work culture11:47 What burnout actually looks like12:37 Early signs: losing connection to what you love15:50 When stress shows up physically18:11 Creating a plan & finding a way out21:50 Industry change, pressure & adaptation23:49 External stressors and mental load26:18 Practical ways to start healing28:38 When it’s time to walk away30:07 Where to connect with David 🎙️ Watch the full episode here: Podcast — Christy Honeycutt | Connect with Us |Follow David Greenwood:LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidagreenwood/Instagram - David Greenwood (@david_greenwood1) • Instagram profileWebsite - Overcoming BurnoutFacebook - Overcoming Distractions Follow Inside the C-Suite:LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/christyhoneycutt/Subscribe on Spotify – Inside the C-SuiteSubscribe on Apple – Inside the C-Suite Want to be on the show or know someone who would be a great guest?
