About The Balanced Badass Podcast
The Balanced Badass Podcast® is for high-achieving professionals who are burned out, checked out, and tired of pretending the job is fine. Hosted by burnout and career strategist Tara Kermiet, this show helps you make sense of what's happening when the job you worked so hard for starts costing too much. Around here, burnout isn't treated like a self-care problem. It's career data. Every episode helps you diagnose what's driving your burnout and decide what to do next. Some weeks, that means learning how to make your current job fit better. Some weeks, it means admitting the thing you've been avoiding: you may need an actual exit plan. If you're tired of vague advice, wellness fluff, and being told to just care less, you're in the right place. Because survival mode was never supposed to be the plan.

Published 22 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Now you can usually spot the too easy kind of work by how your day goes. You finish the real work by lunch and spend the afternoon looking busy. Maybe you've started inventing little side projects just to have something to chew on or reading about other people's jobs on LinkedIn with way more interest than you have in your own. Somewhere along the way, This job stopped being something that you had to learn. And then there's the meaning side, which is a little sneakier. Sometimes the work is still a little challenging, but it stopped being connected to anything that you care about. You wanted the title or the promotion or to prove that you could do it. […]
