Picture this, you’re running on fumes but can’t hit the brakes? Do you wonder if the stress you’re carrying is quietly building into burnout?

Kevin DeGroot sits down with his wife, Hannah, for a real talk about burnout in healthcare. They unpack what burnout actually looks like beyond “being tired,” why long hours and mismatched expectations wear you down, and how the grind affects home life, too. You’ll hear practical ways to spot early signs, set boundaries that stick, reset your nervous system during the day, and talk with your team or partner before things boil over. Whether you’re a clinician or a practice owner, this episode gives you simple steps to feel more grounded, protect your energy, and start enjoying your work again.

In this episode, they'll cover the following topics with you:

• What burnout really is (and what it’s not)

• The most common causes of burnout for clinicians

• Early warning signs you should never ignore

• Why resentment and avoidance are key signals

• Strategies for setting healthy boundaries

• How the “miracle question” can help shift perspective

Burnout doesn’t have to control your life. The key takeaway here is that awareness, boundaries, and intentional choices can free you from the cycle of overwhelm. Give yourself grace, take small steps, and remember you don’t have to go through this alone. Hannah and I hope this conversation empowers you to reclaim your energy, protect your joy, and thrive UNCAGED.
