“You are not broken. Your systems are misaligned. I don’t just help you think differently. I help you experience your life differently so change actually sticks.” Dr. Karolina LaBrecque, Founder, Help To Grow Institute

Burnout doesn’t show up everywhere at once.
It picks a doorway.

Built on the Befriending Your Life framework, this assessment listens to five signal areas of your system. Your highest signal becomes your Burnout Signature, and it tells you exactly where to start.

Energy Drain

Waking up tired. Running on empty by noon. Weekends that no longer recharge you.

Befriend Your Body

Checked Out

Going through the motions. Cynicism creeping in. Forgetting why you chose this path.

Befriend Your Quest

Foggy Brain

Rereading the same email. Small decisions feel enormous. Losing the thread mid-task.

Befriend Your Mind & Time

Short Fuse

Reactions bigger than the moment. Always braced for the next thing. Hard to calm back down.

Befriend Your Mind

Body Alarm

Sleep that won’t come. Tension you carry all day. A body sounding an alarm your calendar ignores.
