💤 The Things You’re Tired Of Explaining - Emotional Labor Nobody Talks About

Some exhaustion doesn’t come from doing too much.

It comes from explaining yourself too often.

Why you’re quiet.

Why you need space.

Why you feel tired even when nothing looks wrong.

Why certain things hurt that others brush off.

The Things You’re Tired Of Explaining explores the emotional labor people carry in silence — the constant translating of feelings, boundaries, identities, and pain just to be understood or accepted.

This book dives into:

• The hidden cost of always being “the understanding one”

• Why explaining yourself becomes a form of burnout

• How emotional labor shows up in relationships, work, and family

• The pressure to be palatable, calm, and agreeable

• What happens when you stop performing your emotions for others

• Reclaiming your right to rest, boundaries, and silence

Written in a raw, reflective style, this ebook speaks to anyone who feels drained not by life itself — but by the constant demand to justify who they are.

This isn’t a self-help manual.

It’s recognition.

It’s language for a tired part of you that rarely gets named.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’m exhausted, and I don’t know how to explain why anymore”

This book is for you.
