A deep, compassionate dive into the realities of emotional burnout—its personal toll, systemic roots, and the slow, radical work of healing.
Part 1: What Burnout Really Feels Like
Moving beyond the buzzword. Naming the emotional, physical, and spiritual exhaustion that lingers even after a full night’s sleep. Exploring how burnout disconnects us from our passions, bodies, and sense of purpose.
Part 2: Systems That Burn Us Out
Burnout is not a personal flaw—it’s a system symptom. We look at how capitalism, racism, gender expectations, and grind culture all contribute to chronic depletion, especially for marginalized communities.
Part 3: Rest as Resistance, Recovery as Reclamation
Rest is not just sleep. It’s reclaiming time, agency, and worth. This final chapter explores rest practices, boundaries, nervous system repair, and redefining productivity through a healing lens.
📝 Includes: somatic check-ins, creative rest rituals, personal storytelling, and restorative journaling prompts.
