You’re Not Lazy—You’re Tired: Burnout, Boundaries & the Real Fix
A real talk reminder for every woman silently wondering what's wrong
Let’s start here: You are not lazy.
You are tired.
You are overbooked.
You are showing up for everyone else.
You are craving more than survival.
If you’ve been feeling like you can’t “get it together,” I want to offer you this:
Burnout isn’t about failing.
It’s about being human in a system that asks too much.
What burnout really looks like
It’s not always dramatic. Sometimes it looks like:
- Struggling to focus
- Avoiding decisions
- Losing interest in things you used to love
- Feeling like everything is “just too much”
And often, we blame ourselves.
But you're not lazy—you’re overloaded.
Boundaries are not optional
When you constantly over-function, burnout becomes inevitable.
Setting boundaries is one of the most powerful forms of healing.
It tells the world—and yourself—that you matter, too.
The fix isn’t just rest. It’s realignment.
Yes, you need rest. But more than that, you need to:
- Align your life with your values
- Say no without guilt
- Stop outsourcing your well-being to “someday”
