🌿 When Did Burnout Become a Badge of Honour?

Somewhere along the way, being constantly busy became something to be proud of. We glorify the hustle. We wear our exhaustion like a medal. We say things like “I’ve just been so busy” as if it's proof we’re doing life right.

But here’s the truth we rarely say out loud:

Burnout is not a badge of honour.
It’s a red flag.
A warning.
A whisper from your soul that says: “I can’t keep doing this.”

And yet, in today’s world, productivity is prized above presence. Hustle is praised over healing. We’re encouraged to keep pushing, keep proving, keep going—until there’s nothing left of us but burnout and overwhelm.

But you are not here to break yourself just to feel worthy.
You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to say “enough.”

At Camrhisa Designs, this is what we stand for.
We believe that calm is not a luxury—it’s your right.
That self-care is not selfish—it’s essential.

Whether it’s lighting a candle after a long day, curling up with a cup of tea, journaling your thoughts, or simply sitting in silence—those moments matter. You matter.

My own journey has taught me this the hard way.
Living with grief, navigating motherhood, holding space for others while learning to hold space for myself—I know what it feels like to give and give and give, until there’s nothing left.

And so I create, not just to make beautiful things—but to remind myself (and you) that rest is not laziness. Saying no is not weakness.
Slowing down is survival.

This is your gentle reminder:
You don’t have to earn your worth through exhaustion.
You’re allowed to rest.
You’re allowed to heal.
You’re allowed to just be.

✨ Escape the ordinary.
✨ Choose calm over chaos.
✨ Begin within.

With love always,
