Burnout Created This

Hey. Welcome.

I should probably warn you—this isn’t polished. It’s personal.

This blog was born somewhere between a nervous breakdown and a watercolor painting. Somewhere between walking away from a career that nearly erased me… and remembering how to breathe again.

“Burnout Created This” is a space for the things I didn’t know I was allowed to say out loud until I stepped away from the chaos long enough to hear myself think.

It holds fragments of a memoir I started writing when I was still crispy.

And now? I’m still recovering.

Still writing. Still painting.

Still figuring out what comes next—creatively, emotionally, and practically.

So if you’re here because:

• You feel numb or over-functioning or strangely both,

• You’ve burned out in silence and no one noticed,

• Or you’re slowly waking up to the idea that being strong isn’t the same as being okay…

You’re not alone.

This space is for you, too.

Here, I’ll be building a space that will include:

• Excerpts from my burnout story (ongoing, imperfect, real)

• Reflections on recovering your creativity and voice

• Visual sanctuary—sticker truths, journaling tools, coloring pages

• Peebles the boundary-enforcing cat (you’ll meet him soon)

I’ll post weekly. Sometimes it’ll be a story, sometimes a prompt, sometimes just something I needed to say out loud before it disappeared again. All of it is part of my rebuilding.

Thanks for walking with me.
