Survive the Burnout Era

Helping leaders & organizations design burnout-resistant careers and workplaces

by addressing the 5 Cs driving burnout™
Work-Life Balance & Burnout Coach | Tara Kermiet
Burnout doesn't take a holiday, does it?

The endless to-do list. The late nights. The nagging voice that says, “It’ll get better next week, just keep going.”

Burnout doesn’t just steal your energy—it sidelines your joy, clouds your confidence, and leaves you feeling like a shadow of yourself.

Whether you’re an ambitious leader, a stressed-out professional, or a team struggling with workplace burnout, you don’t have to stay stuck.

Burnout thrives when...

Your workload feels endless, and your energy is long gone by lunchtime.

Your workplace culture acts like boundaries are optional (they’re not).

Your capacity is stretched so thin you barely recognize yourself.

Your choices don’t feel like choices at all.

Your internalized beliefs keep you stuck in overwork, guilt, or people-pleasing.

If any of this feels a little too familiar, I see you. And more importantly, I can help.

Hey There!

I’m Tara – recovering perfectionist, Leslie Knope wannabe, and a certified balanced badass.

I’ve always been a high achiever and a self-proclaimed workaholic. And I also know how it feels to be holding it all together with duct tape and coffee. 

That hustle culture nearly did me in. Despite a shiny resume, I was battling panic attacks, anxiety, and good ol’ imposter syndrome. Every day started with a wave of dread, like I was about to go in for a root canal. I was taking sick days more frequently than I’d like to admit. Clearly, something had to give.

I pulled the plug on the hustle culture and decided that balance is the new black. Turns out, prioritizing myself was the best career move I ever made. Now, I help other high achievers find their balance and reclaim their lives, one step at a time.

My mission is to help leaders and organizations figure out what’s driving their burnout and create meaningful solutions.

Through frameworks like the 5 Cs Driving Burnout™ and Strengths-Based Career Design, we’ll:

  • Pinpoint what’s really draining your energy.
  • Test small, actionable changes to see what sticks.
  • Build a plan that fuels you for the long haul.
