What happened to the world that left an entire generation drained, overwhelmed, and under-resourced?

We move beyond self-blame and individual narratives to look at the global conditions that fractured our collective ability to thrive.

This is not about doom — it’s about context, and context creates compassion.

Why This Episode Matters

Because you cannot rebuild your personal capacity until you understand the collective wound around capacity.

This episode is designed to help listeners:

release shame around burnout

understand why they’re so tired

contextualize their emotional state

see their exhaustion as valid, not weak

reclaim agency by naming the forces shaping them

When you understand the world you inherited, you can make different choices about the world you want to build.
