Burnout isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a full-body meltdown, and Colton’s living proof. After years of chasing travel nurse pay, skipping rest days, and stacking shifts like a sleep-deprived Jenga tower, he’s finally hitting the brakes (barely). With humor, honesty, and a rogue car metaphor, he unpacks what happens when you ignore your limits, glamorize the grind, and forget to schedule time to just be. If your body feels like a check engine light with a stethoscope, this one’s for you.
