I took a five-day vacation. Two hours back at work and I felt exactly as exhausted as before. Rest doesn't fix burnout anymore—and I'm tired of pretending it does. This episode: why self-care feels like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound, the difference between tired and burned out, and why the real problem isn't that we're not resting correctly—it's that we're trapped in a burning house and being told to meditate about it. No toxic positivity. No "just practice gratitude." Just the hard truth about burnout in a system that's fundamentally broken. #Burnout #WorkingParentBurnout #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCareIsNotEnough #SystemicBurnout #ParentingAndWork #HonestTalk #RaisingHumans
