Burnout isn’t just “feeling tired.” It can lead to stress leave, months of sick leave, or even an extended absence that leaves you wondering if you’ll ever feel “fit to work” again. In this bite-size trailer, certified career-reintegration coach Karina Schneider lays out what you can expect from the podcast that bridges the gap between medical clearance and confident return to work.

In 180 seconds you’ll hear:

• Why the “messy middle” after burnout is rarely discussed—and why we’re tackling it head-on.

• The roadmap we’ll follow: reset → reintegration → sustainable high performance.

• How weekly episodes deliver quick-win tactics for navigating mental health leave, FMLA paperwork, boundary-setting, and more.

• Karina’s promise: evidence-based tools plus honest stories, so your comeback is stronger than the breakdown.
