Burnout doesn’t always begin with workload—sometimes, it begins with silence.
You ask a question… it gets brushed off.
You offer an idea… it’s ignored.
You share a concern… and it disappears into the void.
That’s not just poor communication—
It’s a dismissive attitude, and it’s a recipe for emotional exhaustion.
When your voice doesn’t matter, eventually your energy doesn’t show up either.
🙅🏾♀️ Feeling unheard = feeling invisible
🙅🏼 Feeling invisible = feeling disrespected
🙅🏽♂️ Feeling disrespected = burnout
Because burnout isn’t just about doing too much.
It’s about feeling like you don’t matter—no matter how much you do.
Want to build a resilient, motivated team?
Start by listening like it matters.
Because it does.
