Welcome to After Burnout.

After Burnout is a space for what comes next.

It’s not about bouncing back. It’s about rebuilding on your own terms.

I started this newsletter after accepting that I was done pretending I had more gas in the tank than I did. I’d hit the wall. And once I started telling the truth about that, it opened something up.

This isn’t a self-help guide. It’s not advice. It’s not “5 ways to optimize your life after burnout.”

It’s a place to reflect. To unlearn. To experiment with what healing and wholeness might actually look like without trying to squeeze it into something neat or efficient.

I write about:

  • Redefining ambition

  • Letting go of hustle culture

  • Rest, identity, and finding a slower way forward

  • Small shifts in how I think, move, and care for myself

If you’ve ever burned out, unraveled, or just felt like you’re starting from scratch, you may like it here.

This is me figuring it out. Maybe it’ll help you figure out a piece of it too.

Thanks for being here.
