Not all burnout is the same!
You need to know what you are going through
Since burnout isnt one size fits all. It's vital to actually dive into how burnout is felt. Sometimes it feels like you’ve lost your spark. Other times, it’s decision fog, money panic, or just the weight of holding it all together. We understand that and through science and real conversations with founders we’ve mapped five founder burnout types — so you can name what you’re feeling, understand what’s underneath, and start finding your way back to balance.

Why this matters to us?
This isnt theory - it's the support we wish we had.
Founder burnout is a reality we’ve witnessed far too often—quietly dismissed or buried beneath the pride of resilience and the hustle culture. Too many founders are burning out, shutting down, or worse, while surface-level tips barely scratch the surface. Having lived it ourselves, we know that deep emotional work, creative recovery, and the space to simply be human can change everything. We built this to offer exactly that—real tools, real support, and a more sustainable way to lead.

Our Clients Say
"When I have felt burntout, I dwelled on past hurts and negative experiences. I got stuck in repetitive patterns of pain and couldn’t seem to let go. But Expressive art therapy has been a game-changer for me. Through art, writing, and speaking, I’ve been able to process all these emotions and understand my burnout. It’s been a journey of healing and growth, and I’m so grateful for this support."
