#burnout

I told myself the 2am idea-bombs were productivity. They were just fires my team and my family had to put out by morning. On passion with no off-switch, and what it costs.

I spent five years burying the creative instincts that built everything, chasing funding that kept running the other way. Here's what it cost, and what pulled me back.

My brain is usually a bounce house next to a construction site. Then one day it went completely silent, and taught me everything I'd been getting wrong about burnout.
