Beyond Burnout
Navigating the Spectrum of Mental Well-being
Embark on an Expedition to Your Inner World
The modern world is a challenging terrain, filled with unexpected turns and pressure-filled peaks. In the 2020s, unmanaged stress and the unique pressures of our time have created a new, complex landscape for mental well-being. This course is a guided expedition to help you navigate this terrain, moving beyond just survival to true resilience and thriving.
​
Just as an explorer prepares for a journey, this workshop provides a compass and a map to your inner world, empowering you to identify your emotional and psychological state on a spectrum from thriving to distress. You will learn to recognize the signs of chronic stress, burnout, and mental un-wellness, so you can build a personalized toolkit for sustainable well-being.​
What You'll Discover on This Journey
Beyond Burnout is your 3-Hour Expedition for Well-being in the 2020s. Embark on a transformative journey to discover your inner resilience, explore adaptive strategies, and conquer the peaks of modern stress and burnout.
01
The Evolving Landscape
-
Why Now? Explore the unique stressors of the 2020s—from the pandemic and economic shifts to social media and climate anxiety—that have amplified mental health challenges.
-
Stress & Burnout: Understand the distinction between motivating "eustress" and damaging "distress," and how chronic, unmanaged stress can lead to burnout. Learn the three key dimensions of burnout: exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced personal accomplishment.
-
Mental Un-Wellness: Identify the modern manifestations of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and isolation in the current context. A brief look at emerging issues like digital fatigue and vicarious trauma from the news.
02
The Pitfalls
-
Maladaptive Coping: Uncover why we turn to behaviors that offer short-term relief but cause long-term harm.
-
The Vicious Cycle: See how maladaptive coping mechanisms like excessive social media use, emotional eating, and procrastination can exacerbate the very issues they are meant to soothe.
-
Self-Reflection: Identify your own personal "if-then" patterns, such as "If I feel overwhelmed by work emails, then I tend to doomscroll". This is the first step toward rewriting your responses.
03
Cultivating Resilience

Seeking Support: Learn when and how to seek professional help and understand the various types of support available, such as therapy, medication, and support groups.
