Explore six expressions of burnout through lived stories and everyday experiences.
Recognising burnout beyond work
The Body
That Kept Trying
You can still work. Still laugh. Still take care of people. And still be running out of capacity.
A book for recognising what prolonged strain may have been asking you to notice, and finding a way to begin with the capacity you have now.

Where this book begins
You do not have to collapse
to believe yourself.
“I thought that if I could still function, enjoy something, or have a better day, then whatever I was experiencing could not really be burnout.”
That question shaped the book: would the version of me who was deeply burned out actually be able to use this?
Inside are lived stories, language, reflections and gentle practices. There is room to begin where you are.
What you will find inside
Recognition, language
and room to begin.
Understand your strain
A guided assessment helps you notice the areas carrying the most weight, without turning the result into a diagnosis.
Begin with your capacity
Practical recovery practices for each expression, and a way of understanding change through repeated returns.
