86. How to Avoid Working Mom Burnout with Dr. Jacqueline Kerr
Episode description
Working mom burnout is a critical threat to the flourishing of our families, communities, and workplaces.
Our guest today, Dr. Jacqueline Kerr, is committed to ensuring that working moms can thrive, not just because of the individual choices they make about their own wellbeing, but also because our workplaces and communities have changed in ways that make that thriving more feasible.
Jacqueline's recent TedX talk, How to Stop Burnout Before it Starts, has already helped women recognize the early signs of burnout and, in the words of one commenter, "allowed women to feel seen for the first time."
In this conversation we discuss:
- The biggest obstacles women face to thriving in their leadership and lives
- Practices at the individual, family, company and societal levels that can address burnout
- How companies can benefit from measuring team wellbeing as a KPI
- How women leaders can help women on their teams thrive
