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 the missing piece of burnout recovery isn’t rest… but play?
In this episode, Sophie Theen sits down with therapist and burnout recovery specialist Debi John to explore why healing isn’t about pushing harder it’s about reconnecting with yourself.
Together they discuss the emotional impact of burnout, why so many of us lose touch with joy, and how play can become one of the most powerful tools for nervous system regulation and emotional healing.
