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.

In this episode, we turn our focus to burnout. Burnout is increasing, and it seems to be everywhere at the moment. New research out of AUT suggests 11 per cent of New Zealand workers might be experiencing burnout.
Globally, COVID-19 has increased pressure on working adults as they juggle uncertainty, work and life commitments. For those in a leadership role, the pressure can be even greater.
To take a deep dive on the topic, we are joined by two of New Zealand's leading experts: Professor Jarrod Haar of AUT's business school and Suzi McAlpine, leadership coach and author of the popular new release book - Beyond Burnout: A New Zealand Guide.
We discuss what burnout is, the signs and symptoms, and the impact of burnout on self, loved ones and work. Plus, we explore the impact of burnout on leaders and business productivity. Plus, we discuss those all-important solutions to avoid burnout, and what to do if you're already there or supporting someone to recover.
