––What is burnout?––
Burnout does not have an official diagnosis, and has many potential causes. Burnout is often hard to differentiate from working hard. Oftentimes, burnout at first feels like being extra tired, frustrated, or demotivated, but nothing more serious than that. Sometimes, burnout is only clearly identified as burnout later on in retrospect.

We think of burnout as an exhausted and demotivated state that anyone can fall into, as a result of a toxic environment, pushing too hard for too long, or failing to live up to unrealistic expectations.

The problem at the core of burnout isn't about having high standards – the problem is when the expectations you've been trying to meet keep getting higher, no matter how hard you try – or, that the expectations you've been asked to meet don't align with your own view of how things should be done.

We look forward to supporting you.
