Back After Burnout is the practical, upbeat companion for career professionals navigating the messy middle between “doctor’s orders—take a break” and “welcome back, you’re fit to work." If you’re on stress leave, just filed an FMLA request, or are quietly planning your return to work after an extended absence, this show is for you. Host Karina Schneider—HR strategist, certified coach, and mental health first aid instructor—blends lived experience with science-backed frameworks so you don’t have to choose between mental health and high performance. Why listen? Because googling “burnout recovery” at 2 a.m. rarely delivers a roadmap. Karina speaks the language of both employees and employers, translating HR policies, fit-to-work assessments, and reintegration plans into human terms. Whether you’re fearing that first Monday back or wondering how long benefits will cover therapy, you’ll find clear answers—and a compassionate community—here.
