Burnout isn't just a crisis of energy; it's a crisis of meaning.

For anyone who needs to hear this: People are not ?crazy? just because they are exhausted and their brain feels like a circuit board that someone spilled a sticky chocolate milkshake all over. Dealing with burnout is real, it's tough, and it's most certainly not all in one's head.

Burnout is more than stress, exhaustion, or unmet expectations. It's a profound disconnect? the result of people working so hard for so long that they lose sight of why they were doing any of it in the first place.

While burnout thrives on stress, fear, unprocessed emotions, energy vampires, and toxic work cultures, its root cause is a loss of meaning.
