You want the truth? Here it is: High-functioning exhaustion isn’t a badge of honor, it’s a fracture running straight through your sense of self.

 You call it strength, call it emotional fluency, but really, it’s a crisis of identity. You know how to care for everyone else, yet when the noise stops, you don’t even know what rest is, except for the collapse that comes after you’ve spent every ounce.

 This isn’t about self-care routines or bubble baths; it’s about unlearning survival as your default. If you’re ready to face the reality behind your relentless drive, keep listening. We’re stripping it all down, starting now.
