The Burnout Detox Kit
The Burnout Detox Kit
Podcast Description
Burnout isn’t just about stress. It’s about disconnection from yourself, your joy, and what matters most.
I’m Sophie Theen, and after a decade in high-growth startups and leadership roles, I found myself completely burnt out and completely lost. This podcast is part recovery, part rebellion.
The Burnout Detox Project is a space for honest conversations with founders, operators, creatives, and healers who’ve lived through burnout or help others rise from it.
Together, we unpack what causes burnout (spoiler: it’s not just “working too hard”) and what it takes to heal.

What if your self-care routine is just another thing you’re trying to perfect?
In this episode, Amy McCae, a wellness coach, speaker, and former chronic illness patient, shares how her obsession with doing recovery “right” led her into over-healing.
She was meditating, journaling, eating clean, working out… and still burning out.
Because when healing becomes a checklist, it stops being healing.
Together, we explore:
→ The trap of performative self-care
→ Why perfectionism sneaks into wellness
→ The difference between balance and harmony
→ The shame high-achievers carry when “doing it all” still isn’t enough
→ The power of micro-pauses and emotional honesty
If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still feel depleted, this is for you.
