About this listen

Running on empty—again? Caught in the endless game of Burnout Jenga, where one more task could make it all collapse? Banish Burnout is your go-to guide for restoring balance and energy—without quitting your job, abandoning your goals, or pretending you're fine.

This relatable, research-backed book delivers real tools and honest strategies to help you recover from burnout and build lasting strength. No fluff. No finger-pointing. Just practical solutions for real people with full plates.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Use your Boundary Code to say no—without guilt or fallout.
  • Identify your burnout type and tailor your recovery plan.
  • Tap your Resilience Toolkit to protect emotional bandwidth.
  • Try Mindful Minutes and Digital Detoxes on the busiest days.
  • Break free from hustle culture with true Work-Life Integration.
  • Tap into real self-care (not just the odd bubble bath) that works when you're running on fumes.
  • Create habits that fuel your inner Wellness Warrior, not just your to-do list.

Written in a warm, witty tone with zero judgment and maximum empathy, Banish Burnout is the guide you’ll wish you had sooner. Packed with stories, reflection prompts, and powerful mindset tools, it helps you reconnect with yourself, one step at a time.

Whether you're a teacher on the brink, a leader deep in Zoom fatigue, or a parent quietly Googling “how to run away responsibly,” this book will help you unplug and recharge—without losing your edge.

Stop surviving. Start reclaiming your life. Burnout isn’t your fault—but recovery is your superpower.

This book gave me clear and simple ways to deal with feeling drained and stressed. The advice on building resilience and setting boundaries felt practical, not overwhelming, and helped me start making small changes.

One part about prioritizing self-care really stood out. Just recently, I realized I was saying yes to too many things, and the book gave me the confidence to say no when I needed to.

While listening, it feels like you're also having a real conversation with yourself. If you’re tired of being tired, this one's worth a listen.

I didn't realise what burnout was until my father passed away. It was very difficult to balance my work and responsibilities with dealing with private family responsibilities. There was a whole chapter focused on stress management techniques, including the use of sound and music for stress relief. The chapter on setting boundaries was also useful in order to protect your private time. The audiobook was well-structured and very helpful.

A very insightful guide

A good roadmap to cope with burnout
I felt totally tired and worn out for a long time. Many resources suggest self-care, but this was unique. It gave me a simple, useful plan to not just deal with being tired, but to fix the actual reasons for it. It was very helpful to focus on finding the exact things that stressed me and making solid limits. The suggestions seemed doable, not like just another task on my already huge list. Now I feel like I can get my energy back and have a better balance. This guide has been very helpful for anyone who feels stressed and exhausted.

Most days feel like I’m sprinting through wet cement. Between trying to show up for people, juggling work and school, overthinking everything, and sneaking in quiet moments with my family, there’s barely anything left in the tank. I don’t even have the energy to read lately, so audiobooks have become the one thing that keeps me company between all the noise. What I appreciated about this one is how it quietly pointed out patterns I didn’t know how to name. The parts on emotional boundaries and guilt landed harder than I expected. It never talked down to me or acted like I had the option to drop everything for a mental health break. It just met me where I was; exhausted, trying, and needing something steady. Really glad this one was gifted to me.

I really loved listening to this audiobook. I felt like it really spoke to me and how I need to shift the emphasis from pleasing others and start realizing it's important that I focus on myself sometimes, and even put myself first. This really helped me embrace a new perspective.

This is a must read for anyone feeling burned out. This book is very easy to understand and shares many strategies to protect yourself from getting burned out. Even if you feel like it’s too late, this book can bring you back from the brink!
The section on boundaries was really useful and I never realised how important this was until I have begun to use some of these suggestions. I feel far more confident having learned the range of techniques within the book and am already applying them to my life.

A must read!
