Burnout Is Predictable - But Prevention Requires More Than Willpower w/ Kamilah Jones
The bottom line: Burnout isn't a personal failing - it's a predictable response to chronic stress, and recovery requires both internal awareness and external resources. My guest on this week’s podcast episode, Kamilah Jones, PharmD, LPC, CRC, both want you to let go of trying to carry the world on your shoulders alone.
I just had an incredible conversation with Kamilah Jones, a pharmacist turned therapist who lived through serious burnout while transitioning careers. Her story perfectly illustrates something I see constantly in my practice working with chronically ill clients: the people who get better faster aren't necessarily stronger or more motivated - they're the ones with more resources. And resources doesn’t always mean money!
And before you roll your eyes thinking this is another "just get therapy" post, stick with me. Because what Kamilah shared about her experience - and what I've learned from five years of this work - is that knowing what to do isn't enough. Even when you're literally a mental health professional.
