Episode Description from the Publisher

There’s a moment in burnout that rarely looks dramatic.You’re not collapsing. You’re not quitting. You’re just shouting at the spinach.In this first episode of our brand new series supporting the launch of Don't Shout at the Vegetables - Lessons in Sustainable Leadership & Human Growth, Charlotte and Max talk about the point where everything starts to feel too loud — not because one thing is wrong, but because the whole system has been pushed past capacity.We explore why leaders often respond to overwhelm by tightening their grip, why that makes things worse, and how clarity — not intensity — is the real starting point for recovery.This episode introduces the core idea behind Don’t Shout at the Vegetables: when force stops working, the problem isn’t you — it’s the conditions you’re operating in.
