Meet Your Invisible Coworker: Your Nervous System
Every day, you bring someone to work with you that no one else can see.
They sit in meetings, react to messages before you read them, and quietly track how much you’re carrying. This piece introduces your nervous system as your invisible co-worker — the unseen force shaping how stress accumulates, why burnout is often missed, and how capacity slowly erodes long before anything “breaks.”
Burnout isn’t a sudden crash. It’s the long stretch of functioning while everything inside is working overtime to keep you moving.
We’re Having the Wrong Conversations

It started with a casual radio segment about National Donut Day — the kind meant to “get people excited” about returning to the office. But beneath the pastry perks was something deeper: a quiet plea from workers trying to protect the little flexibility they have left, contrasted with leaders who take choice for granted.
Burnout isn’t just about stress or too much work. It’s about a lack of control, a lack of space, and a system asking more than humans have the capacity to give. This series uncovers the real burnout crisis: not balance, but capacity.
Old Wounds Bubbling Up
A recent eclipse stirred something deep within me—old wounds I thought I’d already healed. In this personal reflection, I share how somatic healing revealed invisible weight I’d been carrying for years and why our bodies often know what our minds have long forgotten.
