The Devil Card in Your Career: Breaking Free From Burnout’s ‘Golden Handcuffs’
TL;DR for Burned-Out Hustlers
The Devil = addiction to the grind. Your chains are self-imposed.
Your move: Name your hustle’s “why” (e.g., “If I stop, I’m worthless”). Test a tiny boundary today.
Tarot’s take: The key is in your hand. What’s really keeping you locked in?
You’re not lazy. You’re not ungrateful. You’re addicted to the grind—and it’s costing you everything else.
The Devil card symbolizes chains we choose—like:
- “I have to work 80 hours or I’ll lose my edge.”
- “If I delegate, I’m replaceable.”
- “My trauma taught me love = earning my place.” (Your mental health background shines here.)
Tarot Meets Recovery:
- The chains are loose. (You have agency—even if it doesn’t feel like it.)
- The Devil’s a mirror. (What are you really afraid of? Hint: It’s not failure—it’s irrelevance.)
- The key? Boundaries, not breakdowns.
Your Move:
- Name your “Devil.” (What unhealthy belief drives your hustle?)
- Test a tiny rebellion. (Example: A client emailed his team, “No Slacks after 6 PM.” No one quit.)
- Reclaim your energy. Burnout isn’t a badge—it’s a leak.
