A purple graphic features a large white quote in the centre that reads: "You've gotta be really realistic about what you can and can't change, otherwise you're going to end up in burnout mode." Below the quote, in smaller white text, is the attribution: "— Anne-Marie Charrett." In the bottom left corner, there's a cartoon illustration of a brain with large, square glasses and a slightly open mouth with small, sharp teeth. The top right corner has a white logo that appears to be "MøT." The background is a gradient of dark purple to lighter pinkish-purple, with faint white star-like shapes.
