am i failing, or just burnt out?

welcome back to live a little with nikki lilly... on the episode, nikki is talking about something she's been ruminating on heavily: burnout. nikki wants to preface this by saying it's not complaining - she knows how lucky she is. but here's the thing: gratitude doesn't cancel out struggle. you can be grateful for something and still feel completely lost inside it. what do you do when you start feeling lost in your work? and what happens when the thing you're supposed to be good at starts making you question if you're good at anything at all? after the oscars in march, something shifted... this huge moment happened, and then afterwards came this strange feeling: what now? who am I making content for? what do people actually want from me? nikki also reflects on the broader picture: her friends who just finished university are up against 10,000 people for one job. here's what she's learning: quiet periods don't mean you're failing. silence doesn't mean you're not capable. your achievements are not a reflection of you as a person. if you've ever felt like your job defines your entire worth, experienced burnout in something you love, questioned your abilities when things get quiet, or struggled to separate your identity from your output... this one's for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!
