My manager told me to 'embrace the chaos' as a growth opportunity.

My therapist just calls it 'a toxic work environment'.

I've been doing the work in therapy to practice self-compassion

But it's hard to be kind to myself when my student loans are still sending me mean emails

Our CEO sent a company-wide email saying we should all be grateful to be working 60-hour weeks

because 'burnout is just a state of mind'

My boomer neighbor told me to 'invest in real estate.'

So I bought three new houseplants.
