Description

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Cappuccino & Croissant, we dive deep into the modern obsession with resilience — a concept often praised as a strength but which, in reality, can become dangerously toxic.


What happens when society glorifies burnout as dedication, emotional numbness as strength, and endless survival as a personal virtue? This is not just about "hustle culture" — it’s about how we're taught to suffer silently and smile through it.


We unpack the psychological toll of being constantly expected to bounce back, the economic systems that thrive on our exhaustion, and the hidden cognitive damage of always “pushing through.” Then, we ask the real question: what comes after survival?


Because at some point, surviving isn’t enough. We need to reclaim space, energy, time — and build something real.


🧠 Topics covered: Resilience culture · Burnout & mental health · Creative fatigue · Systemic pressure · Emotional suppression · Constructing a life beyond survival
