Times are tough right now, and nearly everyone is feeling the pressure. Whether you’re a wellbeing professional, a champion, a people leader, or someone who believes wellbeing should be central to work, you'll know the challenges are real and the cost is high.
I’m Sarah McGuinness, founder of Revolutionaries of Wellbeing (ROW) and a workplace wellbeing specialist with a psychology background. I know firsthand what burnout feels like - I burnt out spectacularly in 2020, and recovery was a very long road.
Sharing my story made me realise how many others were struggling too, and that something had to change. That’s what we're now doing at ROW: breaking burnout culture - for good.
This podcast is for you. Each episode brings real stories, expert insights, and practical strategies to help you make a difference -whether that’s boosting your own wellbeing, supporting your team, or transforming workplace culture.
We tackle burnout and explore the issues that matter most: inclusivity, bullying, menopause, financial health, psychological safety, and more.
Join our growing community of HR and health and safety professionals, people leaders, and wellbeing advocates. Together, we can challenge burnout culture and create lasting impact - one episode at a time.

This episode: Case study - wellbeing at Ara
In this session, Andy Hearn, Ara's Wellbeing Specialist, joins us to share the vocational training institute's wellbeing framework and how it has been used to shape the response to the Covid-19 crisis. Andy will share the components of the framework and discuss the framework's flexibility to support different levels of focus and intervention for workers during this uncertain time (at organisation, team and self levels).
Ara is the largest vocational training institute in the South Island of New Zealand.
Andy is an experienced Wellbeing Specialist who is nearing the end of two year contract as ‘Manager – Health & Wellbeing’ at Ara Institute of Technology. He worked for 10 years as a Senior Academic Staff Member and Head of Science at CPIT (now Ara) before moving to the Canterbury DHB in 2012 to lead the DHB’s staff wellbeing response following the Christchurch earthquakes. After four years at the CDHB Andy moved to Emerge Aotearoa as their National Health, Safety and Wellbeing Manager. In 2018 he returned to Ara to develop and embed an evidence-based focus on staff wellbeing.
Andy holds a Master’s Degree in Physiotherapy, a Graduate Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety, and is a ICF Certified Coach.
