Burnout can creep in quietly. Through the constant giving, the pressure to keep going, and the weight of unspoken expectations. If you’re feeling the signs, it might be time to pause.

Managing Burnout: A Practical Short Course
Nov 13 & 20, 2025 | Online sessions with Kellie Edwards

Together, we’ll explore what burnout really feels like, what drives it beneath the surface, and how to find your way back to steadier ground.

Today is R U OK? Day 💛 A reminder that even the smallest check-in can mean so much. Here are a few gentle ways to offer support:

🌿 Ask with genuine care and give the other person time to respond

🌿 Listen openly, without rushing to fix

🌿 Encourage small steps like a walk in nature, a cup of tea, or a simple chat

🌿 Check in again, because support is often needed more than once

If you or someone you know needs extra support:

Continue to look out for one another, not just today but always 💛

Is the solution to burnout really just “doing less”? If that were true, burnout wouldn’t be the widespread crisis it is today. The truth is, recovering from burnout requires a more thoughtful, compassionate, and sustainable approach.

Join Kellie Edwards, Rest & Restore’s psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and EMDR therapist — for a powerful 2-part online series designed to help you rest, reflect, and truly restore your wellbeing. This is more than stress management, it’s a transformational toolkit for sustainable change.

Over two 90-minute sessions, you’ll explore:

〰️ What burnout really is and how it shows up in your life
〰️ The myths that keep you stuck and the opportunities for growth
〰️ How to break unconscious patterns that fuel exhaustion
〰️Strategies for building resilience and reclaiming vitality

Kellie brings both personal experience and professional expertise to guide you from self-blame to self-compassion, and help you set boundaries that actually stick. You’ll learn how to manage the noise: tech, media, societal pressure and reconnect with what nourishes you.

🗓️ On Zoom: 13 & 20 November, 7:00–8:30pm
〰️ Intro offer: Just $40 per person, per session

Take the time to truly restore. You deserve it. Email us to reserve your spot: Hello@restandrestore.com.au
