dead inside diaries
Feeling invisible sucks. But talking about it doesn’t have to.
Dead Inside Diaries is my little rebellion against polished LinkedIn personas and “all good here” newsletters. This is a place for confessions, small victories, and the messy middle of work and life.
Whether you’re reading, submitting, or just feeling seen in a quiet corner of the internet, this space is aligned with the work I do as a coach and consultant: human-centered, practical, energy-aware, and committed to real change without the “positive vibes only” bypassing.
A confessional space for the quietly burned out, creatively exhausted, and energetically drained. Share your stories, explore the archive, and find solidarity in honesty.
prompt: Tell me the most unhinged thing you’ve ever had to do for your corporate job that made you feel completely dead inside.
“Trained offshore employees that will be taking the jobs of my coworkers and eventually mine after we’re laid off.”
“Read lawsuit documents where the company argued the worth of some’s life when having to pay out settlements. It tore me up inside, I ended up quitting.”
“I told a sales guy at my former software company I feel like we do a lot of bait and switch and a lot of overpromising, and he said that’s OK because we budget in all the lawsuits and we still come out ahead.”
RELEASE your story.
Submissions are anonymous by default. Some may appear here or in my digital zine, 180, to show that no one faces burnout, overwhelm, or feeling dead inside alone.
Every story is treated with care, curiosity, and a touch of reverence—because your words are sacred, and sometimes, sharing them is its own kind of magic.
