Liberation Is Work (Even When We’re Tired)
This year has been wilder than most.
Uncertain in ways that feel both global and deeply personal. Marked by loss—of people, of safety, of illusions we may have once held about progress, protection, or care. It’s been a year shaped by ongoing genocide, by systems that hoard wealth while communities are left to ration breath, shelter and grief. A year where the gap between what could sustain collective life and what is actually shared feels almost unbearable to witness.
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.
