This one was recorded after a 3am incident call, close to twenty-four hours awake, with no energy left for pretending.
The burnout worth watching is not the dramatic kind. It is the quiet one. It shows up when your work and your life drift out of alignment and you are too busy to admit it. Pressure on its own does not break people. Misalignment does, slowly, until a night like that forces the clarity you have been avoiding.
Notice one place this week where the drift is showing, and say it out loud to someone you trust. Naming it is how it stops being invisible, and how you start to close the gap.
