What happens when exhaustion becomes the alibi for staying exactly where you are?

Burnout has become the most socially acceptable way to avoid making a choice. We treat it like something that happens to us. But for most people, it's not overwork. It's the exhaustion of maintaining a life you've already decided against but haven't admitted yet. This episode names the decision you're not making and the years you'll lose pretending it doesn't exist. One diagnostic question. Zero comfort. You already know what this is about.
