The 70% Club: Why Burnout Statistics Actually Give Me Hope
In this episode, Dr Jo explores why the latest burnout statistics in healthcare actually give her hope, revealing that 69% of healthcare professionals are experiencing burnout - making it a systemic issue, not a personal failing. She breaks down the key drivers affecting all healthcare disciplines, from increasing patient complexity to overwhelming administrative burdens, and explains why being part of the "70% Club" means you're normal, not broken. Jo shares practical strategies using her four pillars of burnout recovery (mindset, movement, sleep, and support) that work across all healthcare professions, emphasizing her signature approach of "imperfect consistency." The episode provides both personal coping strategies and professional workplace solutions to help healthcare workers support each other and advocate for systemic change. Perfect timing for the end-of-year burnout many healthcare professionals experience in December.Resources:https://drjobraid.comwww.instagram.com/burnoutrecoverydrwww.linkedin.com/in/drjobraid I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations.
