In this episode of WORK, Erika unpacks the growing misuse of the word “burnout”—and why it’s becoming dangerously diluted. From Gen Z’s “rat people” rebellion in China to Elon Musk’s fiery back-to-office mandate, the episode explores the tension between hustle culture, generational work values, and what it really means to be burnt out. Erika also reflects on not measuring yourself by your old yardstick - whether it’s body image, past success, or unrealistic work standards and how to move forward with purpose. With practical wisdom, irreverent humor, and a teaching segment on the Charisma Wheel, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating modern work life.
