Burnout the Silent Thief

I've uncovered a new facet of grief that often goes unacknowledged—the grief hidden beneath burnout. It’s profoundly sad to realize that all passion and joy for life have dwindled, leaving behind a void filled with dread over "what's next." This is a topic I've discussed extensively, interviewing others about their journeys through burnout, and now I’m choosing to confront my own. We often talk about the lessons we need to learn ourselves, and this holds for me. It took just two interviews, sitting on the other side of the mic, for me to recognize and embrace my own experience.

I've crafted a brief article below to share insights about my latest journey.
