Burnout shows up in three ways — and most people only recognize one of them.
Misalignment — You’re putting energy into work that doesn’t light you up, doesn’t use your strengths, or doesn’t reflect what you actually value. It’s exhausting in a way that’s hard to explain.
Imbalance — You’re giving more than you’re getting back. No rest. No recovery. No reward. Just output, output, output — with nothing refilling the tank.
Stuck Energy — You’ve stopped feeling it. The drive, the connection, the sense of purpose. Your body is sending signals. You’ve gotten good at ignoring them.
More Context and Info About Calming Chaos’ Founder
For those who don’t know me, I’m Alexsandra, a former climate-tech and crypto founder who co-founder and operated a pioneering carbon removal startup for almost 7 years, having raised $18M in venture backed funding. Since leaving that startup, Nori, I have been working with founders and high-achievers in innovation for over a year now, helping them to address their burnout and lead better lives and organizations from a regenerative place. A place of alignment, clarity, and confidence.
This is important work to me. Because I believe that we can only create a truly regenerative and thriving economy by building businesses that themselves embody that energy. And that energy embodiment starts with the founders and the people building said businesses.
I do this by supporting my clients through breaking-free of burnout, because burnout is the anti-thesis of regeneration. It’s what happens when your light is snuffed out, in a sense.
