"I’m no longer capable of “pushing through” means I’m healing." -- this! It's so counterintuitive, but I'm starting to believe it's true. It reminds of a reel I recently saw on Elizabeth Day's profile, where basically she says that oftentimes we feel like we're stuck and not making progress, but really it is during these still phases that we're actually growing and getting ready to shed our old skin.
Just finished rage-scrolling this between Slack pings and a minor panic spiral. The fact that you explained burnout without once mentioning oat milk is Pulitzer-worthy. 10/10. No notes.

Totally agree. It feels so vulnerable to be a snail without a shell, but really, we're growing new shells.

Oat milk definitely plays a part!
