We’ve all been there—you’re just trying to pass time on your phone, but a quick scroll turns into a confidence-crushing spiral.

When logging off doesn’t even scratch the surface of your fatigue, it’s a sign that something needs to change. The problem is, most burnout advice sounds something like, “Have you tried yoga?” or “Maybe drink more water?” (As if hydration alone can fix existential dread.) If you’re past the point where scented candles can save you, you’re in the right place.
