Episode 56: Burnout Culture: Why We’re Exhausted and How to Break the Cycle
Manage episode 492427455 series 3658193
First, let’s define our terms. Burnout isn’t just feeling tired. It’s a state of chronic physical and emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and a sense of reduced accomplishment. It’s what happens when your tank has been on empty for too long.
Burnout Culture is the broader system that normalizes and even celebrates that kind of depletion. It’s the ‘sleep when you're dead’ mentality. The pressure to always be available, always be producing, always be 'on.
Signs you might be stuck in burnout culture:
- Feeling guilty when you're not working
- Measuring your worth by your productivity
- Struggling to rest — even when you try
- Celebrating overwork as ambition
"Sound familiar? You’re not alone."
