Burnout isn’t just about stress. It’s about disconnection from yourself, your joy, and what matters most.
I’m Sophie Theen, and after a decade in high-growth startups and leadership roles, I found myself completely burnt out and completely lost. This podcast is part recovery, part rebellion.
The Burnout Detox Project is a space for honest conversations with founders, operators, creatives, and healers who’ve lived through burnout or help others rise from it.
Together, we unpack what causes burnout (spoiler: it’s not just “working too hard”) and what it takes to heal.
