Description: In today's episode, we venture into the complex world of burnout, offering practical insights and actionable strategies to help you identify, prevent, and recover from burnout. Drawing on a range of expert opinions, including key perspectives from Jacqueline Kerr's research on behavior change and technology for health, we'll explore how a deeper understanding of burnout can lead to more effective solutions. Join us as we unravel the nuances of job burnout, caregiver burnout, emotional burnout, and parental burnout, and how individual, organizational, and cultural changes can make a difference. Key Takeaways:
In an era where employment-related stress and burnout are increasingly prevalent, it's essential to understand and address these highly damaging issues at the corporate level. In the first episode of the year, Dr. Jacqueline Kerr, a globally recognized behavior change scientist, community advocate, and TEDx speaker joins me for a conversation about burnout, public health, and the role of organizations in mitigating burnout. Dr. Kerr deeply resonates with the intersection of public health and personal behaviour change, particularly with respect to the effects of workplace burnout. Burnout can affect every facet of a person's life and might be induced by pressures from multiple areas of life in its myriad versions. Dr. Kerr emphasized the value of intervention, noting the vital role that organizations can play in learning from and adopting community-based approaches to prevent burnout. Driving home the importance of collective efforts in combating burnout, Dr. Kerr highlighted the pivotal role of leaders. Leaders are encouraged to forge a healthier atmosphere in the workplace, thus decreasing the possibility of burnout. Flexible work hours, limiting non-essential meetings, and fostering a culture of appreciation can all contribute to a more engaged and less stressed workforce. Furthermore, a thriving culture of inclusiveness is essential along with recognizing the link between bias and burnout. The approach must be comprehensive, considering individual, family, organizational, and societal level factors. Workplace culture is often linked to changes in behavior patterns. As with managing any change, understanding where people stand in relation to the concept of change is crucial in bringing about effective behavioral adjustments. The key is to create a safe environment where employees feel comfortable discussing changes they'd like to see in the workplace. Dr. Kerr highlighted the importance of reducing unnecessary meetings and encouraging more focused work time to boost productivity and reduce burnout. She recommended considering the reduction of meeting hours and introduced the concept of a "meeting-free week” as a productive approach to address the perceived need for continuous meetings within teams. Moreover, job crafting, cases of biased promotion systems, and other nuanced aspects of workplace practices can significantly impact burnout levels. Encouraging transparency, promoting flexibility, and valuing employee contributions can significantly ameliorate these effects. As much as organizational changes are vital, individual mental habit changes also play a critical role in mitigating burnout. Acknowledging that behavior change is tough and requires support, Dr. Kerr emphasized the importance of setting realistic daily behavior plans. It is our aim to provide practical inputs and insights on mitigating workplace burnout, emphasizing collective responsibility and action. Through strategic implementation of behavioral sciences, workplaces can become more vibrant, engaging, and less stressful environments, where every individual can truly thrive. Job burnout is recognized by the World Health Organization, but there is also caregiver burnout, emotional burnout, and parental burnout that leads to #nervoussystemexhaustion . While self-care helps you manage your stress it does not solve the structural inequalities that create the conditions that cause burnout. We need to use behavior change science to create individual, organizational and cultural change to prevent burnout. Dr Jacqueline Kerr is a mom, behavior scientist and burnout survivor. She is in the Top 1% of Most Cited Scientists worldwide and her work has informed the US Center for Disease Control Community Prevention Guide. Dr. Kerr left her position as a public health professor in 2018. She now hosts the Podcast 'Overcoming Working Mom Burnout' where she interviews researchers, diversity experts, and leadership coaches, focusing on #mentalillness. She is on a mission to dismantle the causes of working mom burnout and #genderbias with individual, organizational and cultural change through behavior change science.

This season featured 16 conversations with dads, which may seem odd for a podcast on overcoming working mom burnout. But I truly believe that if dads who have experienced full time caregiving are in leadership positions, they will help create the workplace systems change that will benefit moms and prevent burnout. I learned a lot about the barriers dads face and what we can do at home, at work and in society to support dads to be active parents.

'Burnout isn't just overwork; it's lack of reward,' - Dr. Jacqueline Kerr The cultural shifts that began in the late 60s and continued through the 70s brought new liberation for women. But with that came ads like Enjoli's "Because I'm a Woman," which conditioned women to believe we had to do it all—sending us on a never-ending quest to achieve more each day. These days, busyness is a lifestyle, and burnout has become part of the norm. But burnout can lead to BIG problems, like relationship deterioration, depression, substance abuse, and even illness. So, how can we stop being seduced by today's busyness culture? Dr. Jacqueline Kerr is a mom, behavior scientist, and burnout survivor. In 2018, she left her position as a public health professor and began the fight to dismantle working mom burnout. Through her TEDx talk and her podcast Overcoming Working Mom Burnout, she provides information and solutions we can all use to change the social norms around burnout. On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Jacqueline joins Anjel to share how burnout forced her to leave her position as a public health professor, where she was in the top 1% of most cited scientists worldwide. She'll walk us through why the culture of busyness is so damaging and the most important thing we can do when facing parental burnout. Listen in as Jacqueline shares the techniques she uses to help her clients recognize the earliest signs and take steps to 'stop burnout before it starts.' What You Will Learn What led to Jacqueline's burnout Why the culture of busyness is so damaging The 3 stages of burnout Why burnout occurs more often in countries where we expect gender equality (and it doesn't yet exist) Why we seldom ask for help when we're facing parental burnout How parental burnout harms children How to recognize the earliest signs of burnout The most important thing to do when you're feeling depleted How to determine where you're overexerting yourself 3 clues that you are headed toward burnout Connect with Dr. Jacqueline Kerr Dr. Jacqueline Kerr Resources How To Stop Burnout Before It Starts | Jacqueline Kerr | TEDxMcMasterU Overcoming Working Mom Burnout Mindset: The New Psychology of Success The Wealthy Life Readiness Quiz Connect with Anjel B.

Often, burnout comes in two waves: Overworking – trying to do way too much in not enough time. Wilful ignorance – refusing to acknowledge that the status quo isn't serving us, even when our bodies and minds start to self-destruct. If you've ever found yourself struggling with the cognitive dissonance that often comes with leaving a once-loved situation or environment that has become toxic, you'll know that this combination can be complicated and difficult to escape. It gets even harder when we compare what we're experiencing to what we assume others are going through, and inevitably decide that our experience isn't “difficult enough” to warrant raising the white flag. Still, many burnout sufferers will agree that it's much easier to give advice to others than to take that advice for themselves and slow things down for their health, perhaps because they consider their work to be an integral part of who they are, and they're afraid to lose it.The good news is, there are tools that can help with unraveling and defining those unhelpful behaviors, as well as strategies for confronting loud inner critics and setting effective goals – and if anyone knows about those things, it's Dr Jacqueline Kerr. A behavior scientist and burnout survivor, Dr Jacqueline researches health behavior change solutions for individuals and communities. After two decades in her career, she is on a mission to prevent burnout through comprehensive strategic planning for employee wellbeing and sustainable, impactful organizational change – and we think that's worthy of ALL the airtime. In this episode of the She Burns podcast, Hannah and Dr Jacqueline talk all things burnout, from the environments and belief systems to the darkness it can seed and grow. So what's this episode really about? The value in perceiving burnout as an institutional rather than individual problem What it means to bridge the gap between the internal and external worldHow our jobs tend to inform our identities The truth about suicidal ideationWhy you should listenWe could all do with more self-compassion, particularly during such a difficult time in world history – but, often, we have to take a few tumbles before we arrive at this realization. Dr. Jacqueline Kerr has been through many of these tumbles herself and come out stronger on the other side with plenty of wisdom to share.

Did you read that subject line? If not, here it is again: stop doing what you're not being valued for! From boarding school to scientist and researcher, and finally a mom, Jacqueline Kerr was often in a competitive environment and always did well. With grit and hard work, she exceled. But not expressing her needs and emotions cost her. She was burnt out and felt ashamed. I'm guessing there are a lot of women reading this who can relate. We women, I know because I am one, struggle more with this than men. We think we need to do it all with a smile on our faces, and say yes to everything that is asked of us. Here are many great insights she's discovered: Track each YES and NO; notice the imbalance The activities you do, are you doing them out of love? What are you resenting? We can always learn more, but let's celebrate how we're growing And make sure we DON'T go back to who we were. Think about it. What would be the point? Going back to who we were would only negate the valuable lessons. And then the growth, pain, and stress would all be for naught. Why would we do that? More about Jacqueline: Dr Jacqueline Kerr is a behavior scientist and burnout survivor. She is in the top 1% of most cited scientists worldwide and received over $56 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health to research health behavior change solutions for individuals and communities.

An interview with Dr. Jacqueline Kerr, host of the Overcoming Working Mom Burnout podcast.And so I think one of the things that I keep trying to remember in this, and it was really helpful to me is, for moms to not to think about being a martyr in this situation. It's very easy for us to sort of play that role and do everything and then feel resentful about doing everything. That's not the role model that we actually want to play for our daughters in particular because we want them to see, yeah, you don't have to stand by the soccer field, you could go for a walk instead. It's like that we don't have to dedicate ourselves so selflessly to our work or to our children, that us having our own lives and looking after ourselves and prioritizing our needs, that's the life I want for my daughter.Dr. Jacqueline KerrBurnout survivor experienceIdentifying and addressing burnoutCOVID-19 pandemic and burnout Parental burnout and youth mental healthSelf care and physical activityAdvice for entrepreneurshttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

I am in the top 1% of most cited scientists worldwide but being a leader, mom and wife was challenging in the competitive world of medical science research. I was sad to leave a field I was so passionate about; using behavior science to help communities be healthy. I still support researchers writing grants for the National Institutes of Health and other health agencies worldwide.At first, I blamed myself and felt like a failure. My inner critic was screaming at me 24/7. I started to read about changing my mindset, letting go of authoritarian parenting, and learning my love language. I benefited greatly from coaching. And even did stand up and improv comedy.But as I read about being a better leader I learned about the maternal wall and the motherhood penalty, that are particularly prevalent in STEMM.I had not realized I was burned out at the time, but as I learned about the conditions that lead to burnout it hit me that the causes and solutions for burnout are different for women. That burnout and DEI align.I am now on a mission to prevent burnout in other working moms and to change the narrative that burnout is an individual problem. It is a systemic problem that needs strategic multi level solutions.As part of my effort to spread this message, I spoke on the TEDx stage: How to stop burnout before it starts.

When I listened to the https://youtu.be/9YY0gVnVPoQ (TEDx talk) in preparation for this conversation, I was moved to tears because my guest, Jacqueline Kerr, really brings to light what Mum burnout looks like. And it has absolutely nothing to do with how much is on her to do list. Please note - there is discussion around suicidal ideation within this interview so please be mindful if this is right for you and check in with yourself, reaching out to others if required. Within this discussion, Amy and Jacqueline explore: Standing in the position of being triggered by several experiences and situations which lead us to feeling that we are not being able to show gratitude and thank others. How our body can tell us that we need a new life, do things differently and the serious consequences that can happen if we push it down considerably. The systematic, cultural, societal and individual change that needs to happen in how much we ask of mothers. The conditions of burnout - including lack of reward, injustice, value conflicts, autonomy to name a few. This episode reminds us that changes are going to need to come on all levels, from big cultural ones to small individual lenses.

Working mom burnout is a critical threat to the flourishing of our families, communities, and workplaces.Our guest today, Dr. Jacqueline Kerr, is committed to ensuring that working moms can thrive, not just because of the individual choices they make about their own wellbeing, but also because our workplaces and communities have changed in ways that make that thriving more feasible.

The World Health Organization recognizes job burnout, but there is also caregiver burnout, emotional burnout, and parental burnout, all of which lead to #nervousexhaustion. While self-care can help you manage your stress, it does not address the structural inequalities that contribute to burnout.

“That fear of burning out again – of course it's driving me because I don't want other moms to feel this way,” says Dr. Jacqueline Kerr, Behavioral Scientist. “But the reality is, we are going to experience this, and it's about how we grow.” Jacqueline realized she was burning out when she started routinely crying on both her way to work and on her way home. At her lowest point, she experienced suicidal ideation, panic attacks, high cortisol levels, and loss of purpose. However, while Jacqueline still falls into the patterns of burnout at times, she tells listeners that she now knows the warning signs and possesses the arsenal of tools she needs to pull herself up more effectively. At the time of her peak burnout, Jacqueline was a professor at a school of medicine, supporting a group of over 40 staff and students, doing her own research, teaching, mentoring and heavily involved in community support. On top of her work responsibilities, she was also a wife and mom. Jacqueline tells listeners that she started feeling inadequate both at home and at work; she simply couldn't balance between supporting all of the people in her life and maintaining her personal health. Now, Jacqueline specializes in helping women and organizations understand the multi-level solutions to working mom burnout. Tune into today's episode of FRIED. The Burnout Podcast for a conversation with Dr. Jacqueline Kerr about the systems that keep you stuck. Learn more about Jacqueline's emotional burnout story, the importance of implementation intentions and accountability partners, and why change is a ripple process. Quotes • “I realized I was burning out when I literally would be going to work and crying on the way to work and coming home and crying on the way home because both places were making me feel so inadequate.” (03:52-04:11) • “That fear of burning out again – of course it's driving me because I don't want other moms to feel this thing. I'm so afraid that anyone feels pain or suffering. But the reality is, we are going to experience this and it's about how we grow.” (13:15-13:35) • “An idea from behavior science is called implementation intentions. Unless you actually sit down and say, ‘What am I going to do? When am I going to do it? Where am I going to do it?' then you don't really have a plan.” (17:14-17:28) • “There are definitely things you can do to help yourself [through burnout]. I think your mindset is so important, having a growth and curious open mindset, valuing yourself, trying to help yourself with some of your limiting self-beliefs. I think there's so much you can do to think about your own outlook.” (28:50-29:08) • “The social norms around [mothering] just become exhausting because you feel like whatever you do, it's never good enough. That social expectation, the research has shown, can really affect burnout as well.” (33:56-33:14) • “I totally understand when you're exhausted, and you're the victim of this system, you don't necessarily want to be doing anything extra. But actually, that sense of fulfillment that you can get belonging to a group of people who have a purpose is part of your recovery….These social situations where you're working as a group towards a positive goal that you care about can be so helpful for that process.” (46:43-47:21) Links www.DrJacquelineKerr.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jacqueline-kerr-a62581173/ XOXO, C If you know that it's time to actually DO something about the burnout cycle you've been in for too long - book your free consult today: bit.ly/callcait Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this episode, Dr. Huntley has a conversation with Dr. Jacqueline Kerr to learn about her interesting and surprising journey through parts of the public health space.

Dr. Kerr is in the top 1% of most-cited scientists, achieving her Masters and Ph.D. in the United Kingdom before coming to the United States in 2004 for a postdoctoral fellowship. Later she worked at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, transitioning out of that role in 2018 to focus on her own business. Her main focus is now on grant writing and the mentorship of academic clients, admitting that her preference is working on the systematic and communal level rather than as a one on one coach. So to hear it all from an energized expert, passionate about the way public health can change the world, listen to the full conversation in this episode!
