Britt Gaudio repeatedly finds herself in high-intensity roles where she feels overworked, unsafe, and ultimately burns out. With an incredible capacity to handle stress and turn dysfunctional chaos into efficient, effective systems, Britt has made a career as an Operations Executive in the GTA. She has observed a pattern in herself of leaving unhealthy environments, only to find herself back in another one. In this episode, she explores this pattern in herself and what she can do to change the cycle.
- Exploring Kailea and Britt’s shared experience working for a non-profit in Toronto – both the incredible opportunities they were given, and the lasting effects of working in a burnout culture at an impressionable age.
- How can we have enough confidence to say “this is too much for me” when your work culture breeds fear of being inadequate, lazy, or not pulling your weight?
- If company leaders don’t set limits to protect us, how do we protect ourselves? What makes it challenging to say, “this is my limit” or “this is what I need”? Why do we tend to say, “the problem must be me” vs. trusting that our needs are valid?
- What childhood patterns make us more susceptible to this and what happens when people repeatedly value our ability to “get the job done, period?” Exploring the benefits of having high frustration tolerance, while also examining how it puts us at high risk for overworking/burnout.
- Britt’s new venture creating work on her own terms and investing fully in herself, and how being a parent gave her the push she needed to take this leap.
- Follow Britt @well.nested.living on IG and hire her for home organization/decluttering, design, and DIY support.
