Hey listeners, we hope you're staying healthy and safe and trying to enjoy your summer.

Now while we're hard at work already, on Season 2 of Chasing Life, I did want to share

an episode of MPR's Life Kit that I think you're going to love and I think it's really

important.

Life Kit is a podcast that helps you find tools to live a better life and this episode is

all about workplace burnout.

This is a really important topic and one that comes up all the time.

burnout has always been a problem.

That's a fact.

But surveys show that it's certainly been on the rise during this pandemic and we also

know that it's a risk factor for depression, substance abuse, even suicide and it's

important to address burnout as early as possible, which is why we wanted to bring this podcast

to you now.

In this episode you're going to hear from experts about how to recognize the signs and what

you can do to address burnout in yourself, how to recognize that and what you can do in

the workplace as well.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

This is MPR's Life Kit.

I'm redo-totagy.

I cover mental health for NPR and today we're talking about something many people might

be experiencing right now.

Burn out.
