The Burnout Proof Workplace | WorkLifeJoy™️ Coach

Workplace Mental Health Coaching and Business Psychology Strategy

👋 Welcome, Strategic Leaders

You’re not imagining it — the stress really is rising. Whether your company is scaling fast, integrating post-acquisition, or bracing for another product push… the human cost is showing up in real time. Attrition. Exhaustion. Missed deadlines. Brilliant minds silently burning out.

The Burnout-Proof Workplace™ was built for these moments.

We help people leaders like you protect one of your most valuable assets — your talent — with science-backed expertise designed for fast-paced, high-performance environments.

🚨 The Problem:

High Growth, High Stress, High Risk

Even in the best workplaces, employees quietly suffer:

Rising tension and unspoken team conflict
Middle managers stretched to breaking point
Quiet quitting, quick quitting, or worse — presenteeism that drags everyone (and the bottom line) down
Leaders feeling responsible but unsure where to start

And it’s not just emotional. For example, the cost of replacing a single engineer or mid-level manager? Up to $210,000 or more in productivity loss, rehiring, and delayed sprints.

🧠 The Solution:

Mental Health + Business Psychology = Real Results

Your WorkLifeJoy™ Coach — that’s me, Dr. Melanie — brings the sub-clinical precision of a Board-Certified Mental Health & Wellness Coach, the strategy of a PhD in Business Psychology, and the cultural insight of someone who’s lived and worked inside fast-moving tech.

A lot of companies rely on Employee Assistance Programs or insurance-based therapy to support mental health — and that’s important, but it’s also reactive. Those programs tend to step in after someone’s already struggling, diagnosed, or burned out. My work compliments these types of programs and takes a different approach. I focus on proactive mental health coaching — helping high-performing professionals and teams manage stress, build resilience, and sustain performance before it becomes a crisis.

I’m not diagnosing or prescribing. I’m helping people move from where they are to where they want to be, even when they’re navigating pressure and complex challenges. Because no matter what someone’s facing, they still may have goals — and with the right tools, they can still reach them.

For companies, that means protecting both your people and your profit — addressing mental health at work not as a liability to manage, but as a skill set to strengthen.

You don’t need another wellness perk.

You need a partner who understands:

✔️ The real pressures of Series B–D growth
✔️ The burnout risks that data can’t always show
✔️ The kind of support your team will actually use

That’s what I do.
