In Season 12 Episode 1 of This Is A Voice, Jeremy Fisher and Dr. Gillyanne Kayes open up about their own experience with burnout, how it affected their work and creativity, and what they did to recover.  They’re joined by singer and coach Franka van Essen, who explains burnout through the lens of Polyvagal Theory - and why creatives often toggle between burnout, boredom and overdrive. We talk about: The real signs of burnout (that you might be ignoring) Why freelancing makes burnout more likely How Polyvagal Theory can help you recognise the “zones” you live in Practical ways to step back into rest, creativity, and connection If you’ve ever felt exhausted, disconnected, or wondered “is this burnout?”, this episode will help you recognise it - and give you hope that you can recover. #burnout #singerburnout #polyvagaltheory  #musicianmentalhealth #vocalcoach  #singingteacher    00:00 Mood swings and despair01:19 What burnout looks like02:56 Measuring burnout05:21 Jeremy’s change of behaviour07:12 Franka on how burnout can start09:19 Singing teachers and burnout12:16 Musicians and task switching13:49 Polyvagal theory and the zones17:10 Toggling between the zones19:01 Compassion fatigue22:25 Household boundaries25:08 A plate of raspberry puddings25:44 Getting back in the green zone28:44 Learning to say no Remember to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more insightful episodes.
