Are we dying for/from work

from T.K.'s: Chronicles of a Black Sheep Podcast · host T.S. Bates

In tonight’s episode of Chronicles of a Black Sheep, TK is asking the question too many of us feel in our bones but rarely say out loud:Are we literally dying for work?We’re living in a world where the grind is glorified, exhaustion is normalized, and rest is treated like a luxury instead of a human need. People are breaking down mentally, emotionally, spiritually — and sometimes physically — all in the name of a paycheck, productivity, or someone else’s expectations.This episode digs into the pressure to overperform, the guilt around slowing down, and the dangerous belief that our worth is tied to how much we can endure. TK unpacks the cultural, generational, and personal conditioning that taught us to sacrifice ourselves for jobs that would replace us before the obituary is printed.From burnout to boundary‑setting, from survival mode to self‑preservation, this conversation is a wake‑up call for anyone who’s been running on fumes, ignoring their body, or carrying the weight of a system that demands everything and gives very little back.If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more to your job than you’re giving to your own life… this episode is for you.
