Before We Burn (out)

*What does it take to keep going when the world feels like it's on fire — literally and figuratively?* Before We Burn (Out) is the podcast for people who care deeply about progress, justice, and sustainability, but feel like they're running on empty. Hosted by Sol, a mental fitness trainer, and Nita, a sustainability strategist, each episode blends personal experience with practical tools for resilience, purpose, and courage in the face of political backsliding, climate grief, and generational disillusionment. We know what it's like to push for change inside systems that resist it — boardrooms, activist spaces, corporate corridors. We've been the "good professionals" with the strategies and targets, and we've also been the people lying awake wondering if any of it really matters. This podcast is born out of that tension. What to expect: 🫂 Honest conversations about despair, burnout, the hard sell of Net Zero, and why fear-based messaging often backfires 👩‍💼 Personal stories from inside boardrooms and focus groups where progress and resistance collide 🏋️‍♀️ Mental fitness practices to help you move from autopilot to aligned action 🧐 Critical but constructive takes on sustainability and leadership — naming the burnout traps, but also the ways forward 🛠️ Practical tools for emotional intelligence, deep listening, and rethinking success This isn't self-help or full of empty platitudes, and it's not another sustainability podcast stacked with jargon. It's a space for solidarity and strategies that help you keep showing up without losing yourself. **Perfect for:** Mid-career professionals feeling stuck or disillusioned, changemakers tired of performative progress, parents worried about the future, and anyone wanting to live with more integrity in complex times. Because we believe feeling good isn't a luxury — it's necessary. And the more resourced we are, the more good we can do. 🎧 Episodes: 20-40 minutes | Weekly | Available on all platforms Subscribe now and join
