Podcast episodes for burnout
When you're burned out, the last thing that helps is a productivity episode telling you to optimise your morning. These are episodes about exhaustion itself — what it does to you, why rest alone doesn't fix it, and what recovery actually looks like.

What to look for
The useful episodes here tend to come from people who've been through it or who study it directly, and they usually separate burnout from ordinary tiredness. Episodes that treat it as a time-management problem are the ones to skip.
