Burnout Recovery Coaching for High-Achievers in the USA
Burnout Doesn’t Mean You’re Weak. It Means You’ve Carried Too Much for Too Long.
Confidential, medically-informed coaching for high-performing professionals in the U.S. ready to reset, recalibrate, and reclaim their energy.
You don’t have to be flat on the floor to be burnt out. Sometimes, burnout wears a suit. It smiles in meetings. Sometimes, it looks like success on the outside, and survival mode on the inside.
If you’re an ambitious professional in the U.S. who feels exhausted, disengaged, or dangerously close to the edge, Dr. Kerstin Brehm offers structured, discreet recovery coaching that rebuilds performance from the inside out.
This isn’t therapy. This isn’t a wellness guide. It’s high-performance recalibration for people who are ready to keep going, but refuse to keep going like this.
Burnout in the U.S. | The 2025 Snapshot
- 77% of professionals in the U.S. report feeling burnout at work (APA, 2025)
- Burnout now ranks as a top reason for mid-career exits across executive and tech sectors
- It costs U.S. companies $190 billion annually in healthcare spend and lost productivity
Behind those numbers are people like you:
- Still showing up — but drained.
- Still high-achieving — but hollowed out.
- Still pushing forward — but wondering when it breaks.
What Drives It
American hustle culture isn’t slowing down. The silent expectations that fuel burnout:
- Always being “on”
- Success = sacrifice
- Visibility = availability
- Perfectionism as identity
- Resilience without rest
And when you’re the reliable one, the top performer, the overachiever, people rarely ask, “Are you okay?” Because you’re so good at holding it all together. Until you’re not.
Why Work With Dr. Brehm?
Dr. Kerstin Brehm brings a rare combination of medical insight and strategic coaching.
As a former cardiac surgeon, I’ve seen what chronic stress does to the body up close. As a leadership coach, I’ve helped high-performers in Fortune 500 firms, startups, and healthcare companies recover their energy and rebuild their edge.
Burnout doesn’t just happen in chaos. It happens in excellence. I help high-achievers recover with structure, science, and strategy.
Who It’s For:
- C-Suite executives who feel they’ve lost the plot behind their title
- Tech leads and startup founders nearing breakdown
- Healthcare professionals running on autopilot
- Women balancing leadership with invisible emotional labour
- Anyone whispering to themselves, “I can’t keep doing this.”
You’re not broken. You’re burnt out. And there’s a way back.
What Burnout Coaching Looks Like
This isn’t yoga mats and meditation apps (unless you want them). This is a bespoke recovery and recalibration model designed for executive-level stress.
You’ll work on:
Identifying root-level burnout drivers: role mismatch, boundary erosion, loss of meaning
Interrupting perfectionism and self-abandonment loops
Building systems for sustainable high performance
Reframing identity: from doing machine → conscious leader
Designing an aligned reintegration strategy: whether that means staying, exiting, or pivoting
Reclaiming sleep, focus, time and energy — without losing ambition
