Tris Thorp Opens Up On How to Avoid Burnout (& Live your Best Life)

How Tris went from burnout to successful international coach, author and speaker.

I’ve never actually met Tris Thorp. Yet from the moment I set eyes on her during our Zoom working calls, I was blown away — smart, funny, beautiful, accomplished, and deeply inspiring. Am I gushing? She also drops F-bombs on the regular, which put the Australian in me at ease right away.

Writing my book on burnout, I’ve thought of Tris often. Not only because she went through a burnout herself, but because she took the lessons of burnout to next-level her own life. Today she is a globally recognized coach, speaker, author and leader in emotional healing, spirituality and shadow work. Girl’s got spark.

Tris and I had an awesome, honest, revealing and inspiring conversation about her burnout, and how she transformed her life as a result.

So Tris, tell me a little about your burnout.

I hit burnout in mid-2012. I’d booked a session with my acupuncturist and was astonished when she told me, “Tris, your adrenals are about to completely give out. It’s going to cause serious physical problems for you”.
