Boundaries don't fall over in the planning meeting. They fall over when you're tired. So decide before you are.

Episode 205 is the final episode of the Boundaries series. You already know the skills. This one is about holding them in October, when the tank is low and the year still has weeks to run.

Why "when I have the energy" rarely arrives (my morning walk and the rain)
The 30-minute starter block for the job you keep circling
Why a tired brain says yes and adds, instead of removing
If-then plans across the four pillars: Mindset, Movement, Support, Sleep
The drop, defer, downgrade stop-doing list for the home stretch
Three reflection questions and one action step

The research:
Arnsten (Yale): chronic stress impairs the prefrontal cortex
Gollwitzer & Sheeran (2006): if-then plans and goal attainment, 94 studies
Adams, Converse, Hales & Klotz (2021, Nature): people overlook subtractive changes

No Is a Full Sentence: boundary scripts for work, family and off duty. The scripts are the basic tier, and the premium tier adds the masterclass. drjobraid.com/store

Next week: a new series on connection.

Welcome to The Burnout Recovery Podcast, where we're creating a global movement to keep healthcare professionals thriving in the careers they love.

I'm Dr Jo Braid, your host and The Burnout Recovery Doctor. Whether you're a med student just starting out, an allied health professional at the point of care, or a seasoned doctor feeling the weight of the system - this podcast is your lifeline back to sustainable practice.

Here's what I know: when one healthcare professional recovers from burnout and builds a sustainable career, the ripple effect reaches patients, families, colleagues, and communities around the world. That's the power of change where it matters most.

In each episode, you'll discover evidence-based strategies and real-world tools to not just survive healthcare, but to thrive in it. Because the world needs you healthy, energized, and passionate about the work that called you here in the first place.

This isn't just about individual recovery - it's about transforming healthcare from the inside out, one professional at a time.

Ready to be part of the solution? Let's dive in.
