I was looking at my Audible library when I noticed something uncomfortable: nearly every book was about becoming better. And underneath all that growth work, I've been carrying the same quiet question: Am I worthy yet? This is what self-improvement burnout looks like—when healing becomes self-judgment, self-care becomes self-monitoring, and worthiness feels like something we must earn. Even those of us who teach this work aren't immune to the patterns we help others break.
