Ep. 91 - Burnout, Redundancy and the Reset We Didn’t Plan For
Welcome back to Promoted with Felicity Furey and Renee Wootton-Tomlin — and this week’s episode is one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had.
Burnout isn’t a buzzword. It’s a warning sign.
In this deeply personal episode, Felicity shares the story behind her decision to step away from much of her work in 2025 to focus on healing complex PTSD and trauma. For years, achievement had been her identity — building businesses, writing books, delivering projects, constantly striving. But underneath the success was a nervous system running on overdrive.
Felicity opens up about what it really took to stop. The discomfort. The identity shift. The books that changed her perspective — including The Body Keeps the Score by The Body Keeps the Score — and the daily practices she now embeds to regulate stress, rebuild capacity and prevent burnout from creeping back in.
She reflects on the shift from striving to prove something… to striving because she genuinely wants to.
Renee brings her own powerful reflections, sharing several periods of burnout across her career and the perspective-changing moment of redundancy in September 2025. Instead of rushing into the next role, she paused. She questioned. She reconsidered what success really meant and how she wanted to show up moving forward.
Together, they explore:
The hidden drivers of burnout in high performers
Why engineers and leaders are particularly vulnerable
How trauma and stress live in the body — not just the mind
The identity crisis that can come with slowing down
Practical habits to build resilience before burnout hits
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, wired-but-tired or quietly questioning the pace you’re living at — this conversation will meet you where you are.
Tune in for an episode that goes beyond career strategy and into what it truly means to lead — and live — well.
