This workbook was written by someone who understands burnout not just from the outside, but from the inside - who has sat in the exhaustion, navigated the politics, felt the walls closing in, and found her way slowly, imperfectly back to herself.

She holds a PhD in biological sciences and brings both academic rigor and lived experience to her outreach work with people navigating burnout and toxic workplace environments. She knows the research. She also knows what it feels like at 2 am when none of the research seems to help. She felt everyone needs to be less lonely, and this is finally a small step towards that direction.

She is a researcher, a writer, and someone who believes deeply in the power of being genuinely seen - especially by yourself. Belonging to the lush hills of Shillong, Meghalaya, India, the author carries her wish for wider outreach and giving support to those who need; through this book.

This workbook was written with warmth, honesty, and the unwavering belief that you are not too much, not too sensitive, and absolutely not alone.
