Sam Brown is a highly successful Partner at a City law firm. Last year, she suffered from professional breakdown – a result of prolonged overwork and increasing levels of chronic stress. Eventually Sam recovered and is now back at work but not before she had several months off work and a short spell in hospital. Sam is very open about her experiences and this is an insightful conversation about perfectionism, self-awareness, mental hygiene, staying well and knowing the signs of overwork and poor health. Even if you feel you are some distance from burnout, this will be worth listening to so that you can recognise the signs of chronic stress and know how to deal with it.
