Work will drain the version of you it met if you let it. Burnout hits different when you’re the one holding everything together — the “strong one,” the dependable coworker, the one who cares more than the people in charge.
In this episode, we’re talking about what burnout actually feels like, why “being a team player” is often just code for “we’ll overwork you,” and how hard it is to set boundaries in a culture that treats your life like it’s optional.
If you’ve ever been exhausted, resentful, or low-key disgusted at how much of yourself you’ve given to a job… yeah. This one’s for you.
