In this episode of Becoming You – The Podcast, John Fleming speaks with Jayne Morris, a burnout coach, psychotherapist, and author, who shares the deeply personal story of how burnout became the turning point in her life - and the start of her own becoming.

Jayne reflects on how this pursuit of endless self-improvement, coupled with masking, people-pleasing, and societal expectations, left her physically, emotionally, and spiritually depleted.

Her burnout became a pivotal moment that eventually allowed her to reimagine success, reclaim her creativity, and begin to live in alignment with her truest self.

John and Jayne reflect on rest as a radical act, how burnout relates to identity suppression, and why we need to challenge the systems and beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of overextension.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• Jayne’s own experience with burnout and how it became the catalyst for reconnecting with her values and true identity.
• How people-pleasing, perfectionism, and striving to prove herself contributed to her burnout.
• How the inner critic and unconscious beliefs slowly chip away at identity.
• Why rest isn’t a luxury - but a fundamental part of wellbeing.
• How systems that reward constant output and hustle culture quietly lead us to burnout
