Mel guides the Burnout Edit community in such a gentle, compassionate and deeply caring way. Her calming voice and genuine effort to get to know and support each person creates an atmosphere where real change is possible. The classroom has provided me with rich and practical resources that have helped my sleep and social media detox process. There is warmth and wisdom in what she provides, and I highly recommend if you are looking to feel supported and cared for in making changes to sleep, overwhelm, anxiety or a topic of your choice. This community helps to heal and provide lasting change, I encourage you to join and get to know her beautiful work that comes from a place of both personal and professional understanding.

Mel's community is a breath of fresh air.
Mel's community is a breath of fresh air. The emphasis on doing small things to regulate ourselves is right up my alley, and the toe-dipping into hypnotherapy was welcome. I highly recommend this as a place to really exhale.

I really enjoy being part of Matt’s community.
I really enjoy being part of Matt’s community. You can tell he truly cares about us. He shows up consistently, checks in often, and makes sure everyone feels seen and supported. He creates space for real, thoughtful conversations, not just surface-level posts. And what stands out is how knowledgeable he is while still being approachable and genuine. There’s a lot of value in what he shares, but it always comes from a place of wanting to help. It’s a great space to be in, and I’m grateful to be part of it.

An excellent investment of time
I have been in several Mens groups in my time and I have always been drawn to authenticity and men being REAL. By that I mean, saying exactly what is going on with you, even if it is negative. Matt keeps it real. I read some of his posts and they just resonated with me, so I joined his group. From there we connected 1:1 and I'm very glad to have him as part of my journey. He provides support where necessary but will also give it to you straight. This community will be a part of my journey for a long time to come. So if you are looking for a place to invest some time and have it well spent, you have arrived.
