Burnout Break Room

Burnout Break Room

Like a Break Room, but helpful. Burnout Break Room is your go-to escape from the hustle spiral. Think of it as a break room—if your coworkers actually talked about real solutions instead of just complaining about meetings that could have been emails. We’re diving into burnout with a realistic lens, spilling the tea on how to reclaim your energy, and finding creative ways to step off the hamster wheel (without burning everything down… probably). Grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s break the cycle together!
