Burnout Isn’t a Badge of Honor And Neither Is Hustle Culture
There was a time when being “too busy” made you feel important—like exhaustion meant progress, and skipping rest meant you were winning. But let’s be honest: hustle culture is hurting us.
Burnout is not a badge. It’s a warning sign. And we believe rest deserves more respect than grind ever did.
Why Overworking Became Trendy—And Why It’s Not Healthy
Social media glamorized the “no days off” mindset. We were taught that if we weren’t constantly hustling, we were falling behind. But behind every highlight reel is a person who’s likely drained, disconnected, or running on fumes.
Studies show chronic stress leads to anxiety, fatigue, depression, and even illness. Yet we still treat burnout like a rite of passage. Why?
Because rest doesn’t get applause. Productivity does. But it’s time we rewrite that narrative—starting with what we wear.
