Most of our days are shaped by systems we didn’t design and rarely think about, until we feel worn down by them.

In this episode, Keith reflects on what it feels like to be human inside modern systems: work, healthcare, bureaucracy, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from navigating processes that weren’t built with full humanity in mind.

This isn’t about blame or fixing anything. It’s about recognising a particular kind of tiredness, and reminding ourselves that feeling drained by systems doesn’t mean we’ve failed, it means we’re human.

A calm, reflective pause in the middle of the week.
