The treadmill nobody asked to get on.
New data just dropped: 72% of American workers are experiencing moderate to very high stress. Burnout has hit a 6-year high. And Gen Z is burning out at 25 — 17 years earlier than any generation before them.
But here's what the statistics miss: most people don't even know they're on the treadmill.
They wake up, grab their phone before their feet hit the floor, survive the day on caffeine and willpower, collapse into mindless scrolling at night, and do it all again tomorrow. Not because they're weak. Because nobody taught them to pause.
I was on that treadmill for almost a year after I lost my chiropractic practice in 2020. I kept moving — busy, reactive, exhausted — and called it resilience. It wasn't. It was erosion dressed up as hustle.
The treadmill doesn't stop itself. You have to choose to step off.
That choice — that one intentional pause — is what this community is built around.
