The Balanced Badass Podcast® Thu, 10 Sep 2026 11:44:25 -0400 https://tarakermiet.com/podcast en-us © 2026 The Balanced Badass Podcast® yes Support this Podcast 1cacb244-f2d8-5d97-8052-d01072a15be1 Tara Kermiet | Burnout & Career Strategist episodic true 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.

Staying comes with a paycheck, benefits, a routine, and problems you already understand. Leaving comes with questions your brain can’t answer yet. That difference can make a draining job feel safer than an uncertain next move.

In this episode, I’m talking through status quo bias, loss aversion, sunk cost, and the identity wrapped up in your work. You’ll learn why burnout makes career decisions harder, how familiarity starts making the choice for you, and how to compare what leaving could cost with what staying is already costing you.

You’ll also get a practical exercise to identify the risk keeping you stuck and reduce it without blowing up your life by Friday.

Staying can be a real strategy. Knowing how to survive the job isn’t enough to make it safe.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly Wuest, founder of Kelly Wuest Consulting and one of my closest grad school friends, for a conversation about burnout, career pivots, transferable skills, and building work that actually fits your life.

Kelly shares how she moved from higher ed to nonprofit work, then from nonprofit leadership into entrepreneurship. We talk about the identity hit that comes with leaving a field you thought would be your forever home, why your skills transfer more than you think, and what it really takes to start over without starting from scratch.

We also get into why so many organizations treat training like a checkbox, what quality learning and development actually requires, and how running your own business changes your relationship with time, work, and balance.

If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to make a move, this conversation will give you language, perspective, and a little proof that a big pivot doesn’t have to mean blowing up your whole life.

In this episode, I break down the real neuroscience behind career paralysis, why brainstorming your way out usually backfires, and the actual order of operations for getting unstuck. You'll hear what a Stanford study on stress and planning reveals about your blank pages, why chasing a five-year vision right now sets you up to fail, and the low-fuel method I walk clients through when they can't picture a single next step. Plus the four doors out of a job most people forget exist, because they're only staring at the scariest one.

This one’s for you. 

I sat down with LauraAura, keynote speaker, coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast, to talk about what it actually takes to make a bold move when you’re burned out and second-guessing everything. 

We get into why the thing you want most is usually hiding behind the thing you resist most, why you shouldn’t make big decisions from a place of exhaustion, and how small moves build the momentum you need to change direction. Laura also shares the gutsiest move of her own career, selling the branding agency she ran for years to go all in on speaking and coaching. 

If you keep talking yourself out of what you want, this conversation will help you spot what’s really holding you back and figure out your next step.

Across dozens of 1:1s, different jobs, different cities, different titles, the same five patterns kept walking in the door. So this is the episode where I name them, in the order they tend to happen to a person.

We start with the work, the kind that has no off switch. Then the person above you, and the Gallup finding that 70% of whether a team thrives or burns out comes down to one manager. Then the quiet turn where you stop blaming the situation and start blaming yourself. Then the bottom, where the job stops being something you do and becomes something you are. And finally the turn, the part I didn't want to end without, because six months in I've watched it happen for real.

Underneath all five is the framework I use to map this stuff with clients, the five Cs: Conditions, Culture, Convictions, Capacity, and Choices. I'll show you how each pattern is really one of them in disguise, and I've backed every section with the research, from the WHO's definition of burnout to what actually helps people climb out.

I'm unpacking the reframe that has changed how I work with every single client. The advice is not failing. The advice is answering a question that is not your question.

I'll walk you through the 5 Cs (Conditions, Culture, Convictions, Choices, and Capacity), the five drivers of burnout, and show you why most popular burnout advice is built around one of them and fails the other four. By the end of the episode I tell you the one piece of advice I had to retire from my own practice, and why I think it has done more harm than good for a lot of people.

Lisa Shubin knows.

She built a career helping people inside corporate and healthcare systems take care of themselves, then had to figure out how to take her own advice. In this episode, we talk about the gap between how organizations talk about wellness and how work actually gets done, the signals your body sends before a breakdown, and how her Ignite framework helps people build sustainable recovery rooted in values instead of hustle.

I’ve been looking forward to this one because Lisa is someone I’ve had the chance to work with through coaching, and her perspective on burnout is shaped by real experience on both sides. This one’s full of honest, practical wisdom.

]]> What happens when the wellness coach burns out? Lisa Shubin knows.

She built a career helping people inside corporate and healthcare systems take care of themselves, then had to figure out how to take her own advice. In this episode, we talk about the gap between how organizations talk about wellness and how work actually gets done, the signals your body sends before a breakdown, and how her Ignite framework helps people build sustainable recovery rooted in values instead of hustle.

I’ve been looking forward to this one because Lisa is someone I’ve had the chance to work with through coaching, and her perspective on burnout is shaped by real experience on both sides. This one’s full of honest, practical wisdom.

You'll learn why unfreezing is harder than the actual move, what job search paralysis really is, and the stage most people skip that sends them straight back into the same burnout with a different logo on the door.

Alison Campbell, founder of unBurnt® and former Chief of Staff turned leadership researcher, joins me to set the record straight. We talk burnout, workplace design, working motherhood, and what her new research with Bentley University is uncovering about how people actually feel at work right now.

This is an honest conversation about who's really responsible for burnout, and it's not the people asking for flexibility.

Alli shares how she hit that point as a young director during COVID, working nonstop and realizing she needed outside coaching to change. We break down why “always being on” is one of the sneakiest parts of the loop, how it can feel like good leaders, and how it keeps your nervous system and your team stuck.

You’ll also hear practical ways to untangle your identity from work, including a “superpowers” outreach exercise, a joy-and-energy audit, and modeling boundaries and self-care openly so you can lead strategically and still have a life.

Elizabeth has a front-row seat to how that plays out. She's an HR pro and founder of Cultivate Growth Co., who works with early career professionals every day.

In this conversation, we get into the expectations gap between what young people think work will look like and what it actually demands, why knowing who you are matters more than knowing what you want to do, and the reflection practice Elizabeth uses to help people stop measuring their worth by what other people hand them.

We also get into what leaders are getting wrong when it comes to really knowing their people. Leaving your door open doesn't count.

  • Why rest doesn't work the way you think it does

Career strategist and former recruiter Tessa Grashuis joins me to unpack the hidden world of salary compression — what it is, how it shows up, and why it keeps talented professionals stuck. 

We talk about the smartest ways to negotiate at the offer stage, advocate for yourself inside your current role, and push back on outdated systems without blowing up your career. Tessa also shares what really happens behind the scenes in hiring and why persistence matters more than a single yes or no.

Do constant status updates and micromanagement have you feeling more like a robot than a real contributor? You’re not alone—and it’s time to talk about why autonomy at work isn’t just a luxury, but a necessity.

In this episode, we’re digging into the soul-crushing impact of red tape, micromanagement, and the lack of trust in the workplace. You’ll learn how the absence of workplace autonomy fuels burnout, kills motivation, and leaves you mentally checked out. Drawing on personal experience (hello, higher ed red tape!), I’ll break down why autonomy is essential for employee engagement, productivity, and creating a career that actually feels meaningful.

We’ll explore:
✔️ What workplace autonomy really means—and why you need it
✔️ The sneaky signs of burnout caused by micromanagement and bureaucracy
✔️ Real-life examples of autonomy killers that might sound way too familiar
✔️ Actionable steps to reclaim your autonomy—even in rigid roles

Whether you’re an employee feeling drained or a leader looking to create a more engaged team, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice.
