About this listen

Work-life balance isn’t a personal failure. It’s a system problem.

In this One-Minute What, we’re unpacking why burnout isn’t caused by bad boundaries, poor time management, or not trying hard enough. Research shows burnout comes from chronic workload, lack of control, unclear expectations, and workplace stress, not individual weakness.

So how did work-life balance become your responsibility instead of your employer’s? Marketing, wellness culture, and productivity hacks quietly shifted the blame.

If you’re exhausted, you’re probably not doing life wrong. You’re operating inside a system that was never designed to be balanced.

And that’s your One-Minute What.
