Preventing and overcoming is not about tips, tricks, hacks.

It's simpler than that!

The only thing you need is a "paradigm change".

You don't have to worry about scheduling 15 minutes in nature daily, or take "regular breaks" (whatever that means), or take 5 deep breaths every hour...

Those are just more things on your "to do list".

Just start being and living in a different way.

When you do that, you don't need any more tips, tricks and hacks.

Easier said than done though...

Do you want to kick start your paradigm change?

Join the second round of my online course for "Bounce Back from Burnout" for FREE in February and learn:

🔸 WHERE you stand on the burnout spectrum
🔸 the real reason WHY you are burnt out
🔸 WHAT kind of support you need
🔸 HOW to bounce back from burnout

This online course is ideal for female academics who have lost their energy, zest for life and work, clarity, and passion.

It is equally applicable for junior and senior academics, researchers, ex-academics, recovering academics, alt-acs, ... (you know the deal already)

DEADLINE to apply is Saturday, January 29th.

BURNOUT is indeed as scary as it sounds. It may take you months, even years, to recover from it. (It took me two years to recover...)

Curious about how you can prevent AND overcome ?

Wish that you could find no-nonsense, science-based and compassionate guidance to improve your wellbeing as an ?

Last summer I ran a four-week online course (with group coaching) with 100+ academics from around the world and got amazing feedback.

Participants felt understood, developed new habits, overcame self-sabotage, and experienced amazing solidarity.

Even months after the course had ended, I receive messages that it helped people so much.
And I decided to run it again!

Your wellbeing and mental health are the most important things that you have. Without those, you are trying to pour from an empty cup. (Been there, done that.)

Take care of yourself in the new year 🙏

PS: Please share so that other academics can also learn about this opportunity.
