Episode 2: Beyond Burnout: Navigating Women's Health in the Corporate Arena

Welcome to ⁠Your Health Is Wealth Podcast⁠ Episode #2, where we delve into a crucial topic: "Beyond Burnout: Navigating Women's Health in the Corporate Arena." I'm your host, Kristen Burke. Together, we'll explore the challenges faced by women in the corporate world, the impact on their health, and how they have overcome their health issues. Burnout has become an all-too-common phenomenon in the fast-paced and demanding corporate environment, affecting individuals across all workforce levels. However, the impact on women's health is particularly profound. Juggling multiple roles, battling stereotypes, and striving for perfection affect their physical and mental well-being. For many women, the journey through burnout is marked by exhaustion, stress, and a sense of overwhelm. The constant pressure to excel at work while managing household responsibilities can lead to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and even depression. Moreover, societal expectations and workplace cultures that undervalue self-care only exacerbate these challenges. Amidst these struggles, there are stories of resilience and triumph. Women who have faced burnout head-on have emerged more robust, healthier, and empowered. They've recognized the importance of prioritizing their well-being and have taken proactive steps to reclaim their health. We have three guests who will share their stories and experiences. ⁠Jenny Lazo⁠ is an 18-year ex-corporate marketer for a large corporation turned entrepreneur.
