Right now, times are tough, and nearly everyone is feeling it. From my conversations with people leaders and wellbeing champions, I know the challenges you’re up against. I’m Sarah McGuinness, founder of Revolutionaries of Wellbeing (ROW) and a wellbeing expert with a background in psychology. In 2020, I burned out spectacularly, and recovery was a long road. As I shared my story across media and keynote speeches, I realised just how many others had been through a similar experience. That’s when I knew it was time to take things up a gear and focus on breaking burnout culture - for good. Hence the name, Revolutionaries of Wellbeing (ROW). This podcast exists because the cost of burnout is too high. We’re losing out on the best of people and businesses because of something preventable. With 57% of New Zealanders at high risk of burnout, and similar trends worldwide, it’s clear we need fast, practical, evidence-based solutions. While episodes drop sporadically, each one is packed with real stories, expert insights, and practical tools to help you build a healthier, more sustainable workplace. This podcast is not just about burnout itself, but also about topics like inclusivity, bullying, menopause, financial health, psychological safety and more. It’s about changing how we live and work, for the better. And ROW is more than just conversations about improving wellbeing at work - it’s a community of HR and health and safety professionals and people leaders working towards so much more. We’re showing that getting workplace practices right can lead to real business success. So tune in and join us as we tackle burnout culture and drive real change - one awesome episode at a time.
