Out of Office, Emotionally

Welcome to another uplifting episode about existential fatigue disguised as “being productive.” Today’s topic: burnout — the modern adult’s favorite personality trait. You know, that thing you get when you’re too responsible to quit but too tired to care.This episode dives deep into the psychology of pretending to function. We’ll unpack the emotional toll of smiling professionally, the thrill of answering emails you don’t believe in, and the art of calling exhaustion “a phase.” Expect profound insights like “take a break” (that you’ll ignore) and “set boundaries” (that you’ll feel guilty about).
