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 burnout and addiction are different expressions of the same struggle?
Most people think addiction only refers to alcohol or drugs.
But what if overworking, perfectionism, people pleasing and relentless achievement are all coping mechanisms too?
In this episode, Sophie Theen sits down with psychiatrist Dr Daniel Hochman to explore the surprising relationship between burnout, addiction and identity. Together they discuss why many high achievers unknowingly become addicted to coping strategies that slowly disconnect them from themselves, and why changing jobs isn't always enough to break the cycle.
Hosted by Sophie Theen, executive coach and founder of The Burnout Detox Kit®, helping ambitious people build successful careers without burning out.
