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)

"Bounce Back from Burnout was an excellent course and programme and I am so glad I participated in it. I encourage you to take part also, if you feel like you need help or if you feel like you're drowning. Özgün is gentle and kind and encouraging, but doesn't enable or patronise. She calls you out on your bad habits and on your negative self talk but will never belittle you or make you feel less than while doing so. She created a community that reflected this as well, as that was the interaction I experienced with everyone else who took part in it also." Sahar - PhD student
