Burnout isn’t just feeling tired - it’s waking up exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep. It’s losing yourself in endless demands, wondering why the life you worked so hard for feels so empty. If you’re here, reading this, something deep inside is whispering, “This can’t be it.” That’s where a burnout coach comes in - but not just any burnout coach. Let’s talk about the difference between checking a box and real transformation.
One way to find out if you're truly burnout is to take a Burnout Quiz
What Is a Burnout Coach?
At its core, a burnout coach helps you identify and recover from the soul-crushing overwhelm that drains your energy, joy, and purpose. But let’s be real - not all burnout coaches are created equal.
Many burnout coaches will give you cookie-cutter solutions:
-
“Take more breaks.”
-
“Learn to say no.”
-
“Try yoga and meditate.”
Sound familiar? While these tips aren’t wrong, they barely scratch the surface of what’s keeping you stuck. Burnout isn’t just a time management problem - it’s a soul-level disconnect. That’s where I come in.

Why My Clients Need More Than Basic Burnout Advice
My clients don’t just need someone to tell them to relax. They’re high-achieving women juggling careers, caregiving, relationships, and a mountain of expectations. They don’t have time for one-size-fits-all advice that feels good in theory but falls apart in the chaos of real life.
What they really need is someone who sees the woman beneath the title - the one who:
-
Feels guilty for wanting more time for herself.
-
Is terrified of letting anyone down.
-
Wonders if she’s broken because she can’t keep up anymore.
I see you because I’ve been there. I’ve walked through the fire of burnout as a single mom, a caregiver, and a corporate leader. I know what it’s like to smile on the outside while crumbling inside.
And I know the way out.
The Difference Between “Burnout Coaching” and My Approach
Here’s where I stand apart. Traditional burnout coaching often focuses on surface-level fixes. My approach is about transformation from the inside out.
What Traditional Burnout Coaching Looks Like:
-
Telling you to practice self-care without teaching you how to overcome the guilt of doing it.
-
Offering tools but not addressing the deeper emotional wounds driving your burnout.
-
Focusing on short-term relief instead of long-term healing.
What My Burnout Coaching Looks Like:
-
Root-Cause Healing: Together, we dig into the beliefs, patterns, and emotions keeping you in the burnout cycle.
-
Heart-Centered Accountability: You’ll feel supported - not judged - as you make small, meaningful changes that add up to big transformations.
-
Trauma-Informed Coaching: Burnout isn’t just about doing too much; it’s about the stories we carry. We rewrite those together.
-
Whole-Life Alignment: I help you create a life that feels good - not just on paper but in your soul.
This isn’t about band-aid fixes. It’s about reclaiming yourself.
A Real Story From My Practice
One of my clients, let’s call her Lisa, came to me as a successful entrepreneur and mom who felt like she was failing at everything. Her mornings started with dread, and her evenings ended with tears as she wondered, “Why can’t I keep it together?”
Her previous burnout coach told her to “schedule more me time” and “outsource tasks.” But no one talked to Lisa about the guilt that ate her alive when she wasn’t constantly doing. No one helped her see that her perfectionism wasn’t just a bad habit; it was a survival mechanism from years of feeling like she had to prove her worth.
In our work together, Lisa learned how to:
-
Set boundaries without feeling like the “bad guy.”
-
Reconnect with herself and rediscover what lights her up.
-
Say no to things that drained her and yes to things that brought her joy.
Lisa didn’t just recover from burnout - she came back to life.

Burnout Coaching FAQs
Q: Can’t I just figure this out on my own?
A: Maybe - but why suffer longer than you need to? A burnout coach speeds up your recovery and provides tools you won’t find on Google.
Q: How is this different from therapy?
A: While my coaching is rooted in forward momentum - focused on actionable steps to help you thrive now and in the future - we also take a purposeful look at the past. Unlike therapy, we don’t linger in it; instead, we explore it to uncover patterns and beliefs that have kept you stuck, using those insights as fuel to propel you toward the life you truly deserve.
Q: Is this coaching only for career burnout?
A: Not at all. Burnout shows up in all areas of life. Whether it’s family, caregiving, or just the weight of being everything to everyone, we’ll tackle it together.
