Burnout Isn't Inevitable.
It's Preventable.
I partner with professionals and organizations to break the burnout cycle
so they can succeed without the suffering.
What Does Freedom From Burnout Actually Look Like?
It's freedom from the physical symptoms that won't go away—the tension, the sleeplessness, the pain your body won't let you ignore.
It's freedom from the emotional weight—the anxiety, the overwhelm, the feeling that you're barely holding it together.
It's freedom from the pressure to perform, to please, to be someone you're not just to keep up.
And most importantly, it's freedom to reconnect with who you really are—your values, your purpose, your inner compass.
That's what breaking the burnout cycle gives you. Not just relief—the freedom to be yourself.
How I Help
For Professionals:
1:1 coaching and workshops to rewire stress patterns, reconnect with your inner compass, and build lives rooted in sustainable wellbeing—using stress science and deep inner work.
For Organizations:
Keynotes, workshops, and consulting to reduce burnout, cultivate healthier teams, and create workplaces where people and performance thrive together.
Stress Is Inevitable. Burnout Is Not.
You can't eliminate stress—and honestly, you wouldn't want to. Stress signals growth, challenge, and engagement. But burnout? That's what happens when stress becomes chronic, unmanaged, and unsustainable.
The good news? Burnout is preventable. And if you're already there, it's healable. You just need the right tools, the right support, and an approach that honors you.
Why This Approach Works
I've been where you are. I know what it's like to be so burned out you can't remember what thriving feels like. I've done the deep work to heal—and I've spent years studying the science behind sustainable transformation. That combination of lived experience and expertise is what I bring to every partnership.
This isn't generic wellness advice. I combine stress science with deep inner work to address the root causes of burnout—not just the symptoms. You'll learn how your brain and body respond to stress, and more importantly, how to rewire those patterns so burnout doesn't keep coming back.
You'll be heard, not fixed. I don't believe you're broken. I believe you have the wisdom inside you—you've just lost touch with it under the weight of stress, people-pleasing, and survival mode. My job is to help you reconnect with your inner compass and take aligned action from there.
This is co-created, not prescriptive. There's no one-size-fits-all formula. We'll build an approach that honors your values, your challenges, your goals, your life. Because sustainable change only happens when it's tailored to you.
About Andrew O'Brien
So, how much time do y'all have?
Just kidding—I'll keep it short. I spent over 20 years in corporate HR, quietly burning out while trying to fit in and climb the ladder. Growing up gay in a straight world taught me how to perform and please everyone but myself. Eventually, my body said "enough," and in 2021, I decided that would be my last round of burnout.
I dove into the science of stress and brain health, did the deep inner work, and healed. That journey led me here—to partnering with professionals and organizations ready to break the cycle and thrive sustainably.
