In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Luken – Occupational Therapist, U.S. Army Veteran, and co-creator of The Burn In Model.
We dive deep into the personal stories that sparked this model, including:
- Michelle’s OT journey and the roles she’s held across military and mental health settings
- Her own experience of burnout and why it didn’t feel just like exhaustion, but something deeper
- Why our definition of burnout expands beyond the World Health Organisation’s
- The factors that led to misalignment in my own life and practice
- Why we both began to understand burnout not as a collapse, but as a misalignment — between who we are, what we do, and who and what we’re connected to
This is where The Burn In Model begins… with story, reflection and the decision to burn in, not out.
