Burnout doesn’t always arrive with a breaking point, sometimes it creeps in quietly, disguised as dedication, ambition or even survival.

In this powerful compilation, Amanda Swetish, Alex Wakeland, Maggie Perkins and Cinneah El-Amin share deeply personal stories about exhaustion, identity and the toll of constantly pushing forward. From teachers slowly boiling under invisible workloads, to parents and partners carrying unseen emotional labor, to professionals juggling multiple jobs just to stay afloat, this segment captures how burnout shows up long before we realize it.

The guests speak honestly about identity crises, sunk-cost guilt, hustle culture versus survival mode and the physical and emotional wake-up calls that force change. They reflect on the pressure to keep going, the fear of slowing down, and the difficult process of redefining success when your health and wellbeing are on the line.
