From the Boardroom To Burnout

Stella's mission is simple, to help ambitious professionals achieve success without burning out.
Burnout is a widespread issue, affecting nearly 76% of employees, with 28% experiencing it frequently or constantly. This chronic stress condition not only impacts mental well-being but is linked to serious health problems, such as chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, heart disease, and weakened immunity, increasing the risk of long-term health complications by 35%. For businesses, burnout has significant costs, contributing to an estimated $125 to $190 billion annually in the U.S. alone due to lost productivity and turnover. Research points to common burnout drivers, including excessive workload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, and limited support—all factors that can be managed with a strategic, evidence-based approach to well-being.
