Regenerate + Relaunch

The information you share before our first meeting, plus our initial session, will help us both see and understand the complete picture of your burnout.

We’ll use that information to build a vision for - and set a compass towards - sustainable, authentic ease and joy in areas that matter most to you.

When you enroll, I’ll ask you to tell me about your burnout life in a few ways:

— Two validated assessments that measure burnout AND well-being across all areas of your life.

— A validated inventory of coping mechanisms (some are sneaky!)

— Your strengths and resources

— A sense of any identities or context you want to share, including cultural identities, neurodivergence, diagnoses [self- or otherwise], caretaker life, and questions around any accommodations that might make the experience more accessible for you.

We’ll refer back to this information throughout the experience and use as a guide to measure meaningful progress.

Welcome to the Big Show.

The “Real Rest” phase is the first, and longest, section of the experience, covering almost half of our time together.

And that’s no accident. Learning to rest - yes, learning: it’s a practice - is hard for folks in burnout. Exhaustion is tricky like that: it actually convinces your brain that it’s just fine and is totally cool running on fumes.

We’ll make a rest plan.

You’ll take rest in the way we usually think about rest - sleep, PTO, vacations, naps. You learn and run experiments on other ways of resting.

Because self-compassion is rest. Grieving is rest. Boundaries are rest. Completing stress cycles is rest. Distress tolerance for the discomfort of positive change is rest.

You’ll get SO much more out of the later work we do if you’re rested, and committed to continued, daily rest.

Or almost daily.

It’s a “practice”, not a “perfect”.

You may have noticed that I talk about experiments.

A lot. In fact, this whole experience is based on the experiments you’re going to run between our weekly sessions.

Experiments are play. Experiments are little bets. Experiments are the autonomy you’re desperately craving (burnout thrives when autonomy is crushed).

The experiments in Phase 2 taught you how YOU like to make space for the good stuff: how YOU can say no to nonsense and hell yes to joy; how YOUR body best calms itself and reliably rests.

But what do you do with all that space and calm? You fill it up with the three validated components of well-being: autonomy, competence, and connection.

How? More experiments. You meet the you that probably hasn’t had a voice since your tree-climbing days.

Who are YOU under the burnout?

This is where the magic happens.

Ten weeks of experiments and learning and practice around rest and self-awareness has led you to this moment: we’re going to start making moves towards big changes - in your actual life, not just in your mind.

You’re not going to perfectly and completely overhaul your life in three months. But - you can make a killer plan, update your beliefs about what’s possible, and start making big changes, in the real world.

That’s exactly what we’ll do. We’ll look for changes that you now know are right for you - but aren’t super comfy.

These are the changes that that bring activation energy for all the other dominoes to fall, but are hard (scary!) to start on your own.

Finally, we’ll wrap up. We’ll make sure you are confident in your new habits, your new self-beliefs, your new early steps.

And we’ll make a plan to stay in touch to make sure you stick the landing.
