Episode #44 - I Honestly Loved This... Before

People expect burnout to come from toxic jobs, bad bosses, or work they hate. But some of the hardest burnout comes from work you genuinely cared about. * The work that once excited you. * The role you were passionate about. * The people you wanted to help. In this episode, we talk about: * When passion slowly turns into pressure * The subtle signs of misalignment * The grief of feeling disconnected from something you once loved * Why high-functioning people often stay too long * How to reconnect with yourself before exhaustion becomes your identity Because sometimes burnout isn't about hating what you do. Sometimes it's about carrying too much for too long. Tune in if you've ever thought: "Why does something I care about feel so heavy now?"
