I'm curious if you guys get trained or if there's any ciurses to handle the uni to workplace transition.

Like the wellbeing side of things.

Burnout destroyed something in my life I can never get back. What did it take from you?

I'm writing about what burnout actually costs people and I don't mean productivity. I mean the stuff that doesn't make it into the LinkedIn posts

The marriage that didn't survive it.

The kids who grew up while you were just trying to hold it together at work.

The parent you didn't visit enough because you had nothing left.

The friend who stopped calling because you cancelled one too many times.

The hospitalisation nobody at the office knew about.

The person you were before,who you genuinely can't remember how to be.

I want to hear from everyone. The 22-year-old who burned out before their career even started. The 45-year-old who lost their family quietly, over years. The nurse, the teacher, the tradie, the founder.

The person who thought they were fine until they weren't.

What did burnout take from you?

Comment below or DM me.

But please be honest, because the sanitised version of this story has already been told a thousand times, and it's not helping anyone.
