Burnout Isn't Normal, Let's Stop Prioritizing It

Somewhere along the way, we started believing that burnout was a badge of honor. That exhaustion meant we were doing enough. That running on empty was proof of our dedication.

But let’s get one thing straight—burnout isn’t normal. And it’s definitely not something to aspire to.

When you glorify overwork, you betray yourself. You disconnect from your body, your intuition, and your joy. You make stress your default state and wear depletion like a trophy. But at what cost?

A woman who is truly in her power does not prioritize burnout. She prioritizes alignment. She knows that rest isn’t lazy—it’s essential. That slowing down doesn’t mean she’s falling behind—it means she’s moving with intention. That her worth isn’t measured by how much she can endure, but by how deeply she honors herself.

Your nervous system wasn’t designed to live in a constant state of stress. Your body wasn’t meant to survive on fumes. And your life was never meant to be a race to prove your value through suffering.

You are allowed to pause. To breathe. To say no. To choose peace over pressure. To stop equating your success with how much you can push yourself past your limits.

Because the version of you who has it all—the love, the success, the joy—she isn’t drowning in burnout. She is thriving in balance.

So today, I challenge you: Stop normalizing burnout. Stop celebrating exhaustion. And start treating yourself like the woman who deserves ease, flow, and abundance in every area of her life.

With love,

Jenn
