If any of these are true, you’re NOT okay, you’re just functional....
You’re still delivering.
Still performing.
Still getting the praise.
But:
- you wake up tired even after sleep
- you’re more impatient than you used to be
- you avoid people you love because you “can’t be bothered”
- you keep yourself busy so you don’t have to feel anything
- you can’t switch off without guilt
- you’re present in meetings and absent at home
- your coping is getting louder (scrolling, drinking, snacking, working… whatever)
Most people think burnout looks like collapse.
For high performers, it often looks like this:
A perfectly functioning life with a quietly deteriorating nervous system.
And the longer you call it “normal”, the harder it is to see.
That’s why I created The Executive Code.
Be honest: which one hit a nerve?
