Hello Reader,

High-Functioning Burnout: Symptoms We All Ignore

One of the reasons so many women don’t recognize burnout is because we don’t look burned out.

We’re still showing up. We’re still doing everything. We’re still saying we’re “fine.” (And by the way — the word fine should always be a red flag. Nobody who’s thriving ever says they’re “fine.”)

This is called High-Functioning Burnout.

gen x women don't ask for help

Hello Reader, How Self-Reliance Became a Stress Habit — and What It’s Costing Us Apparently asking for help is a crime — at least, that’s how most Gen X women were raised to feel.
