Have you ever felt like your soul is running on fumes? Like you’re still moving — saying yes, showing up, pushing through — but inside, your flame is flickering?

In this episode, I share my own experience of burnout — the silent weight I carried, the sandbags strapped to my chest, and the moment I realised rest wasn’t weakness but medicine.

Together, we explore how burnout isn’t just personal — it’s collective. We live in a culture that glorifies the hustle, mistakes exhaustion for ambition, and teaches us to forget our worth.

If you’ve been telling yourself “I should be stronger than this”, or “I can’t stop now, people are counting on me,” this conversation is for you. It’s an invitation to put the weight down, remember your value beyond what you do, and start listening to the whispers of your soul.

Take a breath. You are allowed to rest.
And remember: just because it was… doesn’t mean it will be.

Mentioned in this episode:

• The soul-level signs of burnout (beyond exhaustion).
• The cultural myth that equates productivity with worth.
• Why rest isn’t weakness — it’s medicine.
• A glimpse into the next episode: rebuilding after burnout.
