Alright, Nation, let's talk about this "burned out at work" conversation that's been on the Desk. John and Keith hit it hard, and it's a real one. We've all been there, right? Feeling that weight. But what I loved hearing was this idea of leaning in, of finding that "fuck, you're alive" moment. It's not about being soft; it's about being honest.
I see a lot of chatter about the internet outage today, and Briana and Knox both brought up some good points about what it exposes. For me, it exposes our reliance on external connection when sometimes, the real work is internal. It's about leading yourself first, even when the world goes quiet.
Men crumbling under weight they weren't taught to name. That's not weakness, it's just a starting point. The 34% who aren't burned out? They're doing the reps. They're naming the weight, and they're taking the next step. You don't need a perfect plan. You need a next step. So, what's one small thing you can do today to lean into that "fuck, you're alive" feeling? Let's hear it in the Community Corner.
