Listen "Burnout in 2025: What’s Draining Us?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Downright Mindful, Matt and Paul break down a single word they’re hearing everywhere — tired.Not just “I didn’t sleep well.”But tired in the physical, mental, and emotional sense.They dig into recent data showing how burnout has become one of the biggest issues in America in 2025, including stats from the U.S. Surgeon General and mental-health surveys in Tennessee. Matt shares what he’s hearing from his own students — how even teenagers now answer “How are you?” with the same line adults do: “I’m tired.”From screen-soaked days to overloaded schedules, pressure at work, life at home, and the quiet weight people carry but don’t talk about, the guys unpack where this exhaustion comes from… and what real rest might look like in the middle of modern life.If you’ve felt worn down lately — not just sleepy, but spent — this one will hit home.
