🔥 The 12 Stages of Burnout & My PhD Journey 🔥

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, pushing ourselves to the limit as we work toward our goals. But in doing so, we can sometimes overlook the toll it’s taking on our mental and physical health. This graphic breaks down the 12 stages of burnout—from that initial drive to prove yourself, all the way to complete exhaustion. It’s a journey none of us want to find ourselves on, but one that can sneak up if we aren’t careful.

As I prepare to apply for PhD programs focusing on Organizational Leadership, I’m more aware than ever of how crucial it is to understand and combat burnout. Leadership isn’t just about guiding others—it’s also about recognizing when you need to slow down, set boundaries, and recharge.

I’m on a mission to not only further my education but to help future leaders understand the importance of self-care and sustainable work practices. This is something I’m learning to practice myself as I juggle work, school, and life. 🌱

Where are you in your journey? Let’s talk about how we can prioritize our well-being while still striving for success.
