Career Counseling as a Practice of Liberation
What gets called burnout is often something deeper: grief, identity loss, and the long-term impact of surviving inside systems that were never built to care for us. For many people—especially Black folks, queer folks, caregivers, immigrants, and anyone who's been made to shrink or overperform at work—burnout isn’t about a lack of resilience. It’s about what had to be held, swallowed, or sacrificed just to get through the day.

You’ve been here a long time. You might turn to doom scrollingl through our social media feeds to capture the news of the day with a dash of levity with a baby or cat video but you know you have to get to work. You tell yourself you’re fortunate to have a job, even if the job might not be enough to sustain, or it’s just enough but not fulfilling. You desire to do something different or want to find a way to give back to your communities. You tell yourself that these are ‘first-world’ problems but know deep down you have to pivot - make a change. It’s an oxygen mask on yourself moment in the hopes of something greater.
