Jul 15, 2025
We often hear that burnout is a personal problem.
That if people just managed their stress better or were more resilient, everything would be fine.
But what if that’s only half the story?
In this episode of Master Stress with Dr. S, I explore why many workplace wellness strategies aren’t working—despite good intentions—and what we need to do differently.
I introduce the 40/60 rule:
Only 40% of burnout is about the individual.
The other 60%? It's systemic.
🎧 Listen to Episode 22:
In this episode, I unpack one of the most overlooked truths in leadership:
Your brain state determines your behaviour—and the culture you build.
We talk about:
✔️ Why the traditional view of resilience is outdated
✔️ What the neuroscience says about sustainable recovery
✔️ And how leaders and HR teams can design wellness strategies that actually work
This one’s especially for those navigating high-performance environments—where wellbeing often takes a backseat.
Tune in to learn how to embed real resilience into your culture, not just in theory—but in practice.
