Whether you have gone through burnout or not, setting boundaries is a crucial life skill and a muscle we need to continue to build so we can stay healthy and productive as we navigate the messy reality of modern day life.

Back After Burnout is for education and inspiration only and does not constitute medical, mental-health, legal, or employment advice. Every burnout journey is unique—always consult qualified healthcare and workplace professionals before acting on anything you hear.
