BURNOUT COACHING
A Burnout Coach For High Achievers Who Are Ready For What’s Next
They tell you you’re not resilient enough.
They tell you you’re not doing enough yoga, not breathing deeply enough, not prioritizing your self-care.
They tell you you’re burnt out because you’re doing it wrong.
They’re wrong.
There’s a way out of burnout. A way that honors your values, your past, your training…and your right to thrive.
You’ve done everything right.
The career. The credentials. The success. And yet… something feels off.
You’re tired, and not just physically. You’re unmotivated and maybe even sad. You’re pretty sure it’s not depression, but you’re not certain. The Sunday Scaries have become the Nightly Scaries.
You’re successful, you’ve “made it,” but you can’t stop asking yourself, “Is this really it? Is this what I signed up for?”
And nothing you’ve tried seems to break through. Everyone tells you that you need to rest more, breathe deeper, or “build resilience.” You feel stuck. Paralyzed.
None of it has worked. And it’s not going to. Because burnout isn’t a resilience problem.
Burnout is a mismatch problem—a mismatch between who you are, what you’ve built, and the life you actually want.
That’s where a burnout coach comes in. Burnout coaches know that “getting your mindset right” is nothing more than victim blaming.
With Solving for Why, you move from burnout and decision paralysis to clarity, direction, and a concrete plan for what comes next
What Working With A Burnout Coach Actually Looks Like
There’s nothing vague about this coaching. This isn’t talk therapy (as good as talk therapy is!)
We build a structured, scientifically-based, decision-focused process designed to help you move forward.
Inside the Solving for Why process, we:
Identify the real source of your burnout. What is that mismatch that you can’t “wellness” your way out of?
Clarify what you’re actually solving for in today. Not what someone else wants you to do, and not what 18-year-old you thought you should be doing.
Map out realistic options, including ones you may not see yet
Translate your past experience, knowledge, and skills into new directions, roles, or paths
Navigate finances, timing, and real-world constraints
And build a step-by-step, month-by-month transition plan

Who Burnout Coaching Is For… (And Who It’s Not)
This is for you if:
You’re a doctor, executive, founder, or other high-performing professional
You’ve reached a level of success—and feel unexpectedly stuck or unfulfilled
You’re dealing with:
Burnout or chronic fatigue
Decision paralysis
Frayed relationships or lack of presence
A sense that your work no longer fits who you are
You’re asking yourself: “Do I stay? Do I go? Do I do something in between?”
This is NOT for you if:
You’re only looking for a place to talk about your burnout… without taking action
You want someone to tell you what to do without doing the work
You’re looking for therapy (therapy is complementary—but different)
If you’re ready to move forward, and not just talk about it, then you’re in the right place.
From Burnout to Clarity: What Changes After This Work
By the end of this process, you won’t just “feel better.”
You’ll know what to do next—and how to do it.
Practically, burnout coaching gives you:
A clear understanding of why you’re stuck
Clarity in what goals you’re solving for in the next stage of your life
A set of viable, realistic options
A plan that accounts for finances, relationships, and timing
A clear decision—and a path forward
Mentally and emotionally, you’ll get:
Relief from decision paralysis
Confidence in navigating uncertainty
A strong sense of identity beyond your current role
A set of decision tools you can use to handle doubt, second-guessing, and “what ifs”, for this decision and any future ones!
In other words: it’s clarity and momentum!

What Others Are Saying…
Why Work With Dr. Mark Shrime as Your Burnout Coach
Plenty of coaches can help you manage stress. Very few will help you make the hard decisions that actually resolve burnout.
Solving for Why Coaching is different because…
It’s grounded in decision science
Dr. Mark has a PhD in the science of decision-making from Harvard.
It makes uncertainty explicit
Instead of ignoring risk or spiraling in “what ifs,” we map uncertainty clearly, so you stop looking for the perfect time to act.
You know how to act anyway.
It’s action-oriented
You leave with more than just insight.
You leave with an executable action plan.
It’s direct—but deeply human
There’s no room for fluff or platitudes.
Just honest, structured guidance from someone who’s been where you are, who understands how hard this is—and who knows how to move through it.
“I wish every professional had the opportunity to benefit from this career coaching. ”
You don’t need another coping strategy. You need clarity.
If you’re burned out, stuck, and unsure what comes next, the answer isn’t just putting your head down and pushing through. It’s also not quiet quitting.
It’s figuring out what actually fits—and having the courage to move toward it.
Work with a burnout coach who helps you move forward.
