Shelley Boyd

I'm Shelley Boyd, author of "Beyond Burnout: The Over-Achiever's Guide to Beating Burnout for Good" and host of the Beyond Burnout podcast. As a video producer and small business owner in Nashville, I'm no stranger to burnout.

After discovering that burnout is fundamentally about a loss of meaning (not just being "too busy"), I've made it my mission to help other high-achievers break free from toxic work culture and reclaim their sanity. I bring a unique perspective as someone who's worked in everything from corporate environments to living on tour buses as a roadie, giving me firsthand experience with burnout across different industries.

My approach combines personal storytelling, research-backed insights, and practical action steps. I'm not interested in toxic positivity or surface-level wellness tips—I dig into the real, messy truth about why we burn out and how to build a sustainable, meaningful life without sacrificing our ambitions.

I love conversations that challenge conventional wisdom about work, success, and what it means to live well in our achievement-obsessed culture.
