“If you’re ‘high-performing’ but running on fumes… this episode is your permission slip to pivot, protect your peace, and still win.”

You can be ambitious and regulated, you don’t have to choose.

In this episode of the Unbreakable Podcast Network, Kait and Josie go full real-time from Singapore: travel chaos, global work, high-performance pressure, and the actual practices that prevent burnout without killing momentum.

They break down why burnout isn’t just “too much work”, it’s leaky boundaries, messy focus, and zero recovery. You’ll also hear updates on Unbreakable heading toward publication (plus audiobook plans + “side quests”), and why cultural respect matters when bringing resilience work across countries and industries.

If you’re juggling career, leadership, training, family, or just trying to not explode from group chats… this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

-Why focus management is key for time management for burnout prevention

-“Action kills anxiety”, how to pivot when life changes fast

-Phone boundaries, message guilt, and the myth of being “on” 24/7

-Hustle culture recovery: how to rest without spiraling

-Global leadership + cultural respect (from London to Bahrain)

-Listener Qs: unlearning validation, handling disagreement, and burnout-proof performance

-The “empty boat mindset” + why not everything is personal

"Being authentic to oneself can be a superpower."

In this episode of the Unbreakable Podcast, Kait sits down with Dr. Ty McKinney (Ty the Neuro Guy), an Alberta-born neuroscience researcher and founder of 8Bit Cortex, to break down what burnout really is (spoiler: it’s not just “stress”), why our systems resist change, and how data + neurodiversity-informed thinking can reshape workplace wellness and addiction recovery outcomes.

We get into the brain side of modern life: media overload, survival mode vs abundance, emotional suppression, psychological safety, boundaries in white-collar culture, and why rest isn’t lazy, it’s biology. If you’ve felt fried, overstimulated, or like you can’t fully “turn off,” this conversation will hit.

This episode shows why burnout is often a body problem (hormones + recovery), not a motivation problem.

You’ll hear how social media and constant news can lock the brain into survival mode, and why “expressive suppression” (bottling it up) can backfire by revving the stress system even harder.

Ty also explains why white-collar work is uniquely vulnerable: no physical “end of shift,” blurred boundaries, guilt-driven availability, and the performance pressure that keeps people “on” late into the night.

And you’ll get a practical frame for sustainable wellbeing: rest + boundaries + psychological safety + presence, plus why better measurement matters in addiction recovery and human outcomes.
