If you only have energy for one thing today: rest. It’s part of the treatment, and you don’t have to earn it.

Burnout recovery, one small step at a time

Start the free 7-day email program, written for days when even reading feels like too much.

One short email a day for 7 days, then a few follow-ups about the e-book and the program, and a monthly update with the latest burnout research. 100% free. Unsubscribe anytime. Your email address stays private.

I’m Jolan from Change Burnout. I wrote these emails after recovering from my own burnout.

One email a day, for 7 days

Short emails you can read on the couch. Most of them end with one small thing you can try, if you have the energy for it.

Day 1. Stop. The first steps, and when to get help right away.
Day 2. What burnout does to your body, and why rest doesn’t seem to help.
Day 3. The 5 stages of burnout, with a short check-in.
Day 4. 5 traps in the first weeks, and how to protect yourself from one of them.
Day 5. Rest and the 42% rule: how much recovery your body is asking for.
Day 6. Two tools to calm your nervous system, for when everything feels like too much.
Day 7. The rest of the road, and how long recovery can take.

“When my body said no, I finally went to the doctor. Part of me still thought I could keep going a bit longer.”

From Day 1

Is this for you?

If you’ve just stopped working, and you don’t know where to begin.

If you feel close to burnout, and you want to understand what’s happening before it gets worse.

Or maybe you’re somewhere in between.

These emails support you alongside a doctor or therapist. They don’t replace them.

Why I made this

I’m Jolan from Change Burnout. In 2024 my body said no, after years of combining a full-time job with freelance projects, courses, and the renovation of my apartment. I thought I’d take three weeks off. I stayed home for more than six months.

I had help from my doctor and my therapist, but I still missed a clear process. Which steps do I take, and in what order? So I created the process I was missing.

Writing the e-book became part of my own recovery. Today I work again, in a new job where I’m happy and can keep a good balance. I hope it helps you get better too.

I’m not a doctor or therapist. Right now I’m training as a stress and burnout coach.

The e-book draws on my own experience and on the work of researchers like Christina Maslach, Emily and Amelia Nagoski, Barbara Fredrickson and Martin Seligman.

For the rest of the road

After the free week, there are two ways to go further. Both cover all 5 phases of recovery.

The 90-day email program

E-book included (worth €19)

One email a day for 90 days, in 5 phases, with an insight, a tip, or a small exercise. The same style as the free week. You don’t have to plan your recovery yourself. You just have to open today’s email.

If reading a whole book is a lot right now, this is probably the easier choice.

€49, VAT included. That’s about €0.54 a day.

If it turns out not to be for you, you can ask for a refund within 14 days.

The e-book

Change Burnout: A practical guide to burnout recovery

About 156 pages divided into 12 parts, with worksheets and checklists, a printable weekly and daily companion, and a nervous system support card.

You don’t need to read it all, or in the order it’s written. Start with the part that fits where you are.

For you if you have some energy to read and like to set your own pace.

€19, VAT included

If it turns out not to be for you, you can ask for a refund within 14 days.

Not sure yet? Start with the free week. On Day 7, I explain both, and there’s no rush to decide.

For today, one small step is enough

Leave your first name and email, and Day 1 is on its way. You can stop whenever you want.
