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.

**We've had a name change! This podcast is now called Breaking Burnout Culture. It was Workplace Wellbeing, but we've made the change to better reflect our mission. It's still all the content you know and love.**
In this episode, ROW Alumni Chris Hewitt chats with Dean Yates, author of Line in the Sand. Dean Yates was the ideal warzone correspondent: courageous, compassionate, and dedicated. After years of facing the worst, including covering the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami, one final incident undid him. In this gritty and compelling interview, Dean shares his lived experience of trauma, PTSD, moral injury and his three admissions to the Ward 17 psych unit in Melbourne, Australia. There are lessons we can all learn from Dean’s story, and obvious actions for workplaces to ensure they protect their people.
If anything in this episode feels a bit close to the bone, we encourage you to reach out to someone you trust or your national helpline.
