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.
