“Is It Laziness or Are We Just Burnt Out?”

In this episode of Crisis Era?, we unpack the trending term “bedrotting”—where people stay in bed for hours or even days as a form of coping—and ask the bigger question: Are we lazy, or are we responding to something deeper? Join the Single Family Living Youth Advisory Board as we talk about how mental health, burnout, and unrealistic expectations impact how young people function (or sometimes, don’t). We’ll explore the line between rest and avoidance, and how shame often masks real emotional exhaustion.

💬 Whether you’ve ever felt guilty for taking a break or judged yourself for “doing nothing,” this one’s for you.
