Work will drain the version of you it met if you let it. Burnout hits different when you’re the one holding everything together — the “strong one,” the dependable coworker, the one who cares more than the people in charge.In this episode, we’re talking about what burnout actually feels like, why “being a team player” is often just code for “we’ll overwork you,” and how hard it is to set boundaries in a culture that treats your life like it’s optional.If you’ve ever been exhausted, resentful, or low-key disgusted at how much of yourself you’ve given to a job… yeah. This one’s for you.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Dilemma00:29 The Happy Hour Conflict01:33 Personal Boundaries and Work03:55 Alternative Social Activities05:43 Workplace Relationships and Friendships07:58 Balancing Work and Personal Life30:45 The Concept of Quiet Quitting34:36 Question of the Week: Last Meal on Death Row38:59 Portillo's Cravings and Dipping Debates40:12 Death Row Meals: Wagyu and Weird Choices47:14 Coke vs. Pepsi: The Ultimate Debate56:49 Waffle House and Late-Night Breakfast Adventures59:20 Setting Boundaries at Work01:07:29 Keeping Coworkers at a Distance01:12:30 Wrapping Up: Engage with Us!
