Burnout isn’t just about feeling tired. It’s a deep, emotional and physical depletion that builds over time — often unnoticed, especially in the hospitality world where long hours, high demands, and emotional labor are part of the job.

If you’re experiencing any of these, you’re not alone:

• Constant exhaustion, no matter how much you sleep
• Feeling detached, numb, or emotionally flat
• Struggling to focus or care about tasks you used to handle easily
• A sense of dread before work or relief only when it ends

Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes, it’s quiet — a slow fading of joy, connection, and energy. And when left unaddressed, it can lead to more serious mental and physical health challenges.

Recognizing these signs is not weakness. It’s the first step toward recovery.

You don’t have to “push through.” There is another way.
