Have you noticed that sometimes the very thing that lights us up can become the very thing that can burn us out?

After a long career as a first responder in his hometown community of Salt Spring Island, Arjuna George was on a silent yet destructive path to burnout.

Drawing on the extensive inventory of self-care strategies in his book “Burt Around the Edges”, Arjuna is a trauma informed resilience coach who is on fire for helping others lead healthier and happier lives.
