## Resource

Not everyone has to live at full speed. But somewhere along the way, wanting a slower, calmer life got labeled as laziness — or worse, as not being ambitious enough. In today's episode, Celeste closes out the burnout cluster with the most honest question of all: what if the pace you've been keeping was never actually yours to begin with? This one is about more than burnout recovery. It's about choosing, maybe for the first time, the life you actually want. Today's shift: Name the pace you actually want and take one step today to protect it.
