The Villagers are Tired.
from The Reset Hosted by Tanya Frey, J.D.
Every organization has “villagers” — the people quietly keeping everything moving, filling gaps, solving problems, and carrying more than anyone realizes. In this episode of The Reset, Tanya reflects on a phrase her aunt once joked about: “The villagers are tired.” What started as a funny comment about raising children turns into a bigger conversation about burnout, invisible labor, and the people leaders rely on to keep the machine humming. This episode explores how to recognize when the village is stretched too thin, what leaders can do before burnout turns into collapse, and why support has to be more than appreciation.
