No fluff. No scripts. Just candid conversations that dive deep into the messy, powerful, and often overlooked experiences behind innovation.

Burnout & Beyond with Kelly Reburn

September 05, 2025 • Jonathan Bonanno / Kelly Reburn • Season 4 • Episode 12

We’ve been told that “work-life balance” is the key to happiness. But what if that’s a myth?

To close out Season 4 of The Chief Psycho Podcast and I/O Psychology Awareness Month, I sat down with Dr. Kelly Reburn — an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist, leadership coach, and CEO of The IO Psych Group (@theiopsych). With over a decade of experience driving culture and leadership initiatives, Kelly helps organizations and leaders cut through the noise and focus on what really matters: people.

In this episode, we dive into:

What burnout actually looks like (and what to do about it)
Why “success on paper” often still feels empty
The myth of work-life balance
How leaders can create cultures that support actual humans, not just output

Kelly brings science, heart, and strategy to the conversation — making this the perfect way to wrap up Season 4.

Alright, podcasters—that’s a wrap on this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast! If you got something out of today’s convo, do me a favor—share it, tag us, and keep the conversation going.

Remember, entrepreneurship isn’t just about the grind—it’s about the growth. Stay bold, stay human, and keep pushing the limits.

Catch you next time. Until then—keep it psycho.
