Learning the Difference Before It’s Too LateLately, I’ve noticed how often we call exhaustion “normal.” We wear tiredness like a medal of meaning, convincing ourselves that rest is a luxury we’ll get to later. I, too, am very guilty of this. But burnout doesn’t happen all at once; it creeps in quietly, disguised as discipline and disguised as drive. In this short-form podcast, I talk about how to recognise the moment when tired turns to depleted, why “pushing through” is rarely the answer, and how to start restoring energy before you fall apart.🎶 Musical snack: Spiegel im Spiegel – Arvo Pärt(A classical accompaniment to sit with after listening.
