Published by Tara Kermiet | Burnout & Career Strategist
The Balanced Badass Podcast® is for high-achieving professionals who are burned out, checked out, and tired of pretending the job is fine. Hosted by burnout and career strategist Tara Kermiet, this show helps you make sense of what's happening when the job you worked so hard for starts costing too much. Around here, burnout isn't treated like a self-care problem. It's career data. Every episode helps you diagnose what's driving your burnout and decide what to do next. Some weeks, that means learning how to make your current job fit better. Some weeks, it means admitting the thing you've been avoiding: you may need an actual exit plan. If you're tired of vague advice, wellness fluff, and being told to just care less, you're in the right place. Because survival mode was never supposed to be the plan.

Why do you stay in a job you already know isn’t working? Staying comes with a paycheck, benefits, a routine, and problems you already understand. Leaving comes with questions your brain can’t answer yet. That difference can make a draining job feel safer than an uncertain next move. In this episode, I’m talking through status quo bias, loss aversion, sunk cost, and the identity wrapped up in your work. You’ll learn why burnout makes career decisions harder, how familiarity starts making the choice for you, and how to compare what leaving could cost with what staying is already costing you. You’ll also get a practical exercise to identify the risk keeping you stuck and reduce it without blowing up your life by Friday. Staying can be a real strategy. Knowing how to survive the job isn’t enough to make it safe. Got something to say? Text me!

What happens when the career you thought you wanted starts costing too much of yourself? In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly Wuest, founder of Kelly Wuest Consulting and one of my closest grad school friends, for a conversation about burnout, career pivots, transferable skills, and building work that actually fits your life. Kelly shares how she moved from higher ed to nonprofit work, then from nonprofit leadership into entrepreneurship. We talk about the identity hit that comes with leaving a field you thought would be your forever home, why your skills transfer more than you think, and what it really takes to start over without starting from scratch. We also get into why so many organizations treat training like a checkbox, what quality learning and development actually requires, and how running your own business changes your relationship with time, work, and balance. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to make a move, this conversation will give you language, perspective, and a little proof that a big pivot doesn’t have to mean blowing up your whole life.

You sit down to figure out your next move and nothing comes. Your brain is doing exactly what years of chronic stress trained it to do: protect today at the expense of tomorrow. In this episode, I break down the real neuroscience behind career paralysis, why brainstorming your way out usually backfires, and the actual order of operations for getting unstuck. You'll hear what a Stanford study on stress and planning reveals about your blank pages, why chasing a five-year vision right now sets you up to fail, and the low-fuel method I walk clients through when they can't picture a single next step. Plus the four doors out of a job most people forget exist, because they're only staring at the scariest one. This is about the mechanism behind the fog and a concrete way through it. If you've decided something is wrong with your ambition, this one's for you. Got something to say? Text me!

Feeling stuck in a job that’s draining you but too scared to make a change that looks crazy on paper? This one’s for you. I sat down with LauraAura, keynote speaker, coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast, to talk about what it actually takes to make a bold move when you’re burned out and second-guessing everything. We get into why the thing you want most is usually hiding behind the thing you resist most, why you shouldn’t make big decisions from a place of exhaustion, and how small moves build the momentum you need to change direction. Laura also shares the gutsiest move of her own career, selling the branding agency she ran for years to go all in on speaking and coaching. If you keep talking yourself out of what you want, this conversation will help you spot what’s really holding you back and figure out your next step.

Six months into the season, I stopped to count what I was actually hearing. Across dozens of 1:1s, different jobs, different cities, different titles, the same five patterns kept walking in the door. So this is the episode where I name them, in the order they tend to happen to a person. We start with the work, the kind that has no off switch. Then the person above you, and the Gallup finding that 70% of whether a team thrives or burns out comes down to one manager. Then the quiet turn where you stop blaming the situation and start blaming yourself. Then the bottom, where the job stops being something you do and becomes something you are. And finally the turn, the part I didn't want to end without, because six months in I've watched it happen for real. Underneath all five is the framework I use to map this stuff with clients, the five Cs: Conditions, Culture, Convictions, Capacity, and Choices. I'll show you how each pattern is really one of them in disguise, and I've backed every section with the research, from the WHO's definition of burnout to what actually helps people climb out.

This week I'm joined by Courtney Townley, a health and self-leadership coach and author of The Consistency Code. We get into integrity pain, that nagging discomfort when your daily choices don't match what you actually want for your life, why willpower isn't the fix, and the four practices behind her Consistency Code: awareness, organization, follow through, and realignment. If you've ever set a goal, fallen off, and then beaten yourself up about it, this one's for you. Falling out of alignment is a given. How fast you get back is what actually matters.

I'm a burnout coach, and I'm about to tell you why most burnout advice doesn't work. Including some of mine. I'm unpacking the reframe that has changed how I work with every single client. The advice is not failing. The advice is answering a question that is not your question. I'll walk you through the 5 Cs (Conditions, Culture, Convictions, Choices, and Capacity), the five drivers of burnout, and show you why most popular burnout advice is built around one of them and fails the other four. By the end of the episode I tell you the one piece of advice I had to retire from my own practice, and why I think it has done more harm than good for a lot of people.

What happens when the wellness coach burns out? Lisa Shubin knows. She built a career helping people inside corporate and healthcare systems take care of themselves, then had to figure out how to take her own advice. In this episode, we talk about the gap between how organizations talk about wellness and how work actually gets done, the signals your body sends before a breakdown, and how her Ignite framework helps people build sustainable recovery rooted in values instead of hustle. I’ve been looking forward to this one because Lisa is someone I’ve had the chance to work with through coaching, and her perspective on burnout is shaped by real experience on both sides. This one’s full of honest, practical wisdom.

There's a reason you keep almost quitting but never do, and it has nothing to do with motivation. In this episode, I apply Kurt Lewin's three-stage Change Model to career change during burnout. You'll learn why unfreezing is harder than the actual move, what job search paralysis really is, and the stage most people skip that sends them straight back into the same burnout with a different logo on the door.

A 2025 New York Times piece asked whether women have "ruined the workplace," blaming flexibility and empathy for what's broken. Alison Campbell, founder of unBurnt® and former Chief of Staff turned leadership researcher, joins me to set the record straight. We talk burnout, workplace design, working motherhood, and what her new research with Bentley University is uncovering about how people actually feel at work right now. This is an honest conversation about who's really responsible for burnout, and it's not the people asking for flexibility.

In this episode, we sit down with Alli, founder of Work and Thrive HQ, to talk about how you can get trapped in the Chief Everything Officer role where you’re being the default for everything, saying yes by default, stepping in because it’s faster, and staying constantly available until you burn out. Alli shares how she hit that point as a young director during COVID, working nonstop and realizing she needed outside coaching to change. We break down why “always being on” is one of the sneakiest parts of the loop, how it can feel like good leaders, and how it keeps your nervous system and your team stuck. You’ll also hear practical ways to untangle your identity from work, including a “superpowers” outreach exercise, a joy-and-energy audit, and modeling boundaries and self-care openly so you can lead strategically and still have a life.

Most of us built our careers around answers we gave before we really knew ourselves. Elizabeth has a front-row seat to how that plays out. She's an HR pro and founder of Cultivate Growth Co., who works with early career professionals every day. In this conversation, we get into the expectations gap between what young people think work will look like and what it actually demands, why knowing who you are matters more than knowing what you want to do, and the reflection practice Elizabeth uses to help people stop measuring their worth by what other people hand them. We also get into what leaders are getting wrong when it comes to really knowing their people. Leaving your door open doesn't count.

In this episode, Tara breaks down the neuroscience of why burnout kills your joy, and why "just take a vacation" is some of the worst advice anyone can give. If you've ever sat on a free Saturday feeling nothing, or noticed that you can't stop thinking about work even when you desperately want to, this episode explains what's actually going on in your brain and what the path back actually looks like. Topics covered: Why high-performance work creates powerful dopamine loops and what that costs you The neural atrophy that happens when all your emotional investment is in one place Why rest doesn't work the way you think it does What chronic stress actually does to your capacity for pleasure What rebuilding looks like and why it feels worse before it feels better Resources mentioned: Your 6-Step Burnout Recovery System™ ( https://stan.store/tarakermiet/p/burnoutrecoverycourse ) Intro Call for Coaching Fit ( https://stan.store/tarakermiet/p/free-initial-session ) Check out the detailed show notes ( https://tarakermiet.com/podcast/ ) and leave your thoughts or questions about today's topic.

Feeling like you're constantly running on empty? In this episode, registered nurse and nervous system regulation coach Audrey Rose breaks down what it really means to regulate your nervous system—and no, it's not about being zen 24/7 or quitting your job.

You'll learn practical tools like EFT tapping, box breathing, and sound healing that actually work when you're dealing with 700 unread emails, screaming kids, or an overwhelming inbox. This conversation is packed with science-backed strategies you can use right now—whether you're locked in a bathroom for five minutes or winding down at the end of the day. If you're a high-achiever who wants to keep your ambition without burning out, this episode is for you.

Employee engagement just hit a 10-year low, dropping from 36% to 31% since 2020. That’s 8 million workers who’ve checked out. But here’s what the headlines miss: role clarity collapsed, feeling cared about plummeted, and organizations are responding with “practice gratitude” instead of fixing anything. In this episode, we’re breaking down what Gallup’s new data really reveals about systemic workplace dysfunction, why younger workers are getting crushed, and what you can actually control when conditions are deteriorating. It’s not you. It’s the system.

Back in August, I posted a viral video about workplace mobbing and received overwhelming support from people who could finally put their experiences into words. Recently, another creator copied my content word for word, highlighting the issue of content theft. This incident made me reflect on how similar situations happen at work, where ideas are stolen without clear attribution. I discuss the importance of making your ideas traceable, providing context, and using documentation to protect your intellectual contributions.
