Your burnout recovery workbook.

about the book

The book I wish I had had myself.

At my lowest point I didn't need theory. I needed someone to sit beside me and say: I know this. I've been through it too.

This book is that someone. Honest, without polish, with all the details that most burnout books leave out.

For everyone whose elastic has been stretched too hard for too long. Because burnout doesn't hit the weak. It hits people who have been strong for too long.
