Burnout Isn't A Personal Failure

Burnout isn’t just about being tired—it’s shaped by early experiences, family dynamics, school pressures, and the work cultures we move through. In this episode, Kenny unpacks the physiological toll burnout takes on the body, while Topher traces how colonialism and capitalism have embedded a productivity mindset that leaves us cut off from joy and balance. Together, they explore why many of us stay stuck in cycles of overwork, what it takes to recognize when environments are unsafe, and how small shifts can begin the process of healing.
