Mental exhaustion doesn’t always scream at you. Sometimes it whispers, quietly weighing down your simplest tasks until everything feels impossibly heavy.

Let’s talk about why this happens — and how to begin finding your way back to yourself.

Work fatigue isn’t just “being tired.” It’s deeper — like a slow, steady erosion of your energy, creativity, and motivation. It’s emotional exhaustion dressed up as "I'm fine" on Slack. If you're nodding along, you're not alone — and you're definitely not broken. Let's talk about why this happens and how to start climbing out of the Monday-forever loop.

We worry we’ll say the wrong thing, overshare, or make someone uncomfortable. But here’s the truth: mental health is already in the room. Whether we’re talking about it or not, it’s affecting how we show up every single day.

So how do we start having these conversations in a way that feels natural, respectful, and not weird?

Let’s walk through it—gently, together.

Work stress isn’t just “part of the job” anymore. It’s become a daily reality for many, and it’s affecting more than just how we feel—it’s reshaping how we work, how we show up, and how we connect with the world around us. As we continue to push through packed calendars, endless emails, and high expectations, we have to pause and ask: What is the cost of constantly running on empty?

Creating safer, softer spaces at work—one conversation at a time.
