This is not to suggest that you should be constantly feeling the effects of burnout as an indicator of success, but it does mean that you are passionate enough about the work you do to allow it to impact you. So what does this mean for those who are feeling a little unhinged while working in or towards their dream job?Īccording to both Fredi and Deloitte, it means that you're likely in the right career. In expanding on this study, Chelsea discussed that "the more passionate you are about your work, the more likely you are to burn out doing it. What Fredi wants to stress is that experiencing burnout in a career you love does not make you flawed, in fact, it makes you incredibly normal.Ī recent Deloitte study found that "passion may not prevent workplace stress." 87 percent of surveyed professionals claimed they were highly passionate about their career, yet despite this passion, 64 percent of these employees also admitted they were ".frequently stressed." This serves to dispel the myth that passionate employees are immune to stress or burnout. Many times, when people experience burnout in a career they love, they question their capabilities within their role and if they're failing at something they've dedicated their lives to building. Take care of yourself, protect your energy."įor Fredi, a major focus is to provide education on the topic of burnout. Even when we're in the dream job, there will be good days & bad days, interesting tasks & draining ones.
"Let's stop spreading the ‘if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life' fallacy," Chelsea Glaser remarked.
Reprogramming Fulfillment in the Workplace Today, the duo is actively seeking to reprogram how workplace fulfillment is viewed, experienced, and achieved in a way that prioritizes wellness first and happiness second. Throughout their journey launching and growing Fredi, the Glaser's have discovered that many common conceptions society has about employment are simply not true. The duo experienced the euphoric highs that came with their career accomplishments, yet also became susceptible to the toll such success took on their mental and physical wellbeing.įor this reason, they combined forces in 2019 to co-found Fredi, a wellness company cultivating focus and productivity within the workplace to help ambitious hustlers redefine what it means to achieve success. Siblings Chelsea and Mitch Glaser were all too familiar with the negative side-effects of success, having both embarked on high-stress careers in their early 20's with Chelsea founding her own company, Launch It Girl, and Mitch working as a Wall Street investment banker. Regardless of the ease in which you answer this question, it's highly unlikely you'll aspire to be "stressed, tired, and burnt out." Yet, this is a state many hardworking hustlers are finding themselves in as they scramble to achieve their dream job.įredi Co-Founders Mitch and Chelsea Glaser VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / Decem/ "What do you want to be when you grow up?" This ten-word question is often imposed countless times throughout the span of your formative years, with the answer being more challenging for some to come to than others.
