Burnout Is A Signal - Feeling drained might be your mind telling you something needs to change.
There's a difference between exhausted and depleted.
Exhausted means you worked hard on something meaningful. You're tired, but part of you feels nourished because the work mattered.
Depleted means you're running on empty—beat down, drained, disconnected from what actually matters to you.
If you feel things deeply and hold yourself to high standards, you likely know this feeling. And if you're feeling depleted most days, it's a signal that something deeper is misaligned..
In this video, I share three ways to start addressing it—and why normalizing depletion is putting us on a path to burnout.

If you're been feeling the weight of constant disruption, it might be time for a different approach.
