WHAT ACTUALLY IS MISALIGNMENT BURNOUT?

Misalignment burnout isn’t just about working too much - it’s about working and living in a way that contradicts your values, passions, or personal goals.

Over time, this disconnect creates a lingering feeling of dissatisfaction, making even a manageable workload feel unbearable. It’s not just about needing rest - it’s about needing total realignment.
