My Journey to Burnout Coaching

I was hardworking, high-achieving, respected, and successful. But beneath the surface, I was running on empty. I pushed harder, worked longer, relied on caffeine, and ignored the warning signs. I told myself this was just a phase—something I could push through. After all, I had always powered through before.

Then, in 2017, everything collapsed.

I hit a wall—hard. My body and mind shut down. My energy was gone, my motivation evaporated, and my confidence crumbled. Simple decisions felt impossible. Tasks that once came easily became overwhelming. I withdrew, too ashamed to admit I was struggling, too afraid of what it would mean for my career.

I had no choice but to take time off work. But the moment I felt slightly better, I forced myself back. I thought I could pick up where I left off. That was my biggest mistake. Within weeks, I was back in burnout, unable to function properly, and beating myself up for not being able to push through. This time, I was off work for six months. During that time, I had to rebuild myself from the ground up. I started setting boundaries. I learned to say no. Slowly, I began to feel like myself again.

But old habits die hard. By 2020, I had fallen back into the same patterns—working too much, prioritizing everything except my own well-being. Then a colleague went off with stress, and I stepped in, taking on their workload and mine. I saw the warning signs, but I told myself, just a little longer, just until things settle down. But they never did, and then, once again, I broke.

This time, though, something was different. I finally accepted the truth: burnout wasn’t something I could just recover from and move on. If I didn’t fundamentally change how I lived and worked, I would keep ending up in the same place.

So I changed everything.

I replaced my old coping mechanisms with real, sustainable strategies. I exercised, meditated, and set boundaries—not just at work, but in life. I prioritized my well-being in a way I never had before. And for the first time in years, I felt in control.

And then I realized—I wasn’t just doing this for myself.

I saw so many others trapped in the same cycle I had been in, believing burnout was the price of success. I knew I had to help them break free.

That’s why I became a burnout coach. Not just to help people recover, but to help them create a life where success doesn’t come at the cost of well-being. Because I know now—you don’t have to choose between ambition and health. You can have both.
