Shownotes

Burnout is often mistaken for simple exhaustion, but this episode of The Soul Mirror, hosted by Pragya, goes much deeper. Joined by author Shelley Boyd, the conversation explores the kind of burnout that quietly disconnects you from joy, purpose, and your sense of self.

This episode is for high achievers, over-functioners, and anyone who feels productive on the outside but depleted within. Shelley shares lived insights from years in high-pressure industries and offers a grounded perspective on why burnout is not a personal failure but a signal for realignment.

About the Guest:

Shelley Boyd is the author of Beyond Burnout: The Overachiever’s Guide to Beating Burnout for Good. Her work is shaped by personal experience across the touring music industry and entrepreneurship, where hustle culture deeply influenced identity and self-worth.

 Key Takeaways:

  • Burnout is a collection of symptoms rooted in misalignment, not weakness

  • Productivity and self-worth often become dangerously intertwined

  • Rest alone does not heal burnout without deeper awareness

  • Meaning and direction matter more than working harder

  • Small practices like journaling and solo time can restore clarity
