Preventing Activist Burnout

A Practical Guide to Stay Committed, Healthy, and Resilient in Your Activism

Burnout Is Killing Activism.

Let's be real: Activism is a marathon, not a sprint. But most activists, advocates, and change-makers are sprinting themselves straight into burnout. I know—I’ve been there.

I’m Darlene Meissner, and I’ve spent decades on the front lines fighting for change. And I learned the hard way: Passion alone doesn't protect you from burnout. In fact, unchecked passion can lead you directly into exhaustion, frustration, and disillusionment.

Preventing Activist Burnout: The Practical Guide

My book, Preventing Activist Burnout, isn't another fluffy self-help manual. It’s a tactical playbook filled with proven strategies to help you:

  • Recognize and tackle burnout before it takes hold

  • Set clear boundaries to protect your energy and mental health

  • Build a support network that has your back

  • Find sustainable ways to balance activism and personal life

This book isn't theory—it's what I wish someone handed me almost 30 years ago.

Burnout Doesn’t Have to Be Your Story.

Activism matters. But your health and well-being matter more.

It’s time to make the shift from exhausted and overwhelmed to energized and impactful.
