You don’t just grieve the people you’ve lost, you grieve the life you thought you’d have. The milestones that never arrived, the love that slipped away, the dreams that quietly faded. In this therapist-led guide, discover how to hold that grief with compassion, honour the life you imagined and create space for the life that’s still waiting for you.

We often think of burnout as collapse, the dramatic moment where you can’t get out of bed, the sobbing in the shower, the email you never send because even typing feels too much, but burnout rarely starts there. In my therapy room, I meet people who are still showing up , they’re high-functioning, outwardly fine, even thriving by societal standards but underneath, their system is quietly unravelling. They’re living with what I call hidden burnout, the version that doesn’t ann

We’ve been sold a story about work-life balance, a perfect equation of hours and productivity. But real balance isn’t about perfection. It’s about alignment. It’s about tending to your inner world, shifting with life’s seasons and finding a rhythm that honours both your work and your wellbeing.
