3E’s Framework™
Discover the core of our holistic wellness approach: Embrace. Evaluate. Energize. The 3 E’s Framework is a powerful guide designed to help you break free from burnout, reconnect with your purpose, and create sustainable well-being in every area of life.
Healing begins with honesty. Embrace is about taking a courageous first step: acknowledging where you are and how you got here. Instead of pushing through or pretending everything’s fine, this phase invites you to face your burnout with self-compassion and curiosity—not judgment
EMBRACE
By recognizing the personal, professional, and even societal pressures that have shaped your experience, you begin to understand the weight you've been carrying. This moment of truth creates space for healing, clarity, and the possibility of something better.
EVALUATE
Once you’ve acknowledged your current state, the next step is to Evaluate—to pause and take a deeper look at what’s really going on beneath the surface. This phase is about uncovering the root causes of your burnout, not just treating the symptoms. It invites you to reflect on the pressures, habits, relationships, and routines that may be draining your energy. Is it the nonstop work pace? Unclear boundaries? A misalignment between your values and your daily reality?
By honestly assessing these areas, you gain clarity on what needs to shift. This awareness becomes the foundation for real, lasting change—not just temporary relief.
ENERGIZE
After gaining clarity, it’s time to Energize—to renew your strength, rebuild resilience, and intentionally create space for what fuels you. This phase is about taking action in ways that support your well-being, not just for now, but for the long run. Energizing isn’t a one-time fix—it’s a sustainable rhythm of rest, boundaries, purpose, and joy. Through Holistic Wellness Strategies, we guide individuals using the 3 E’s Framework to integrate evidence-based tools and personalized coaching into their lives. The goal isn’t just to feel better—it’s to live better.
With the right support, you can reclaim your energy, protect your peace, and design a life that aligns with who you truly are—both at work and beyond.
A New Lens on Burnout
Addressing burnout requires more than surface-level solutions—it demands a deeper, more holistic approach. That’s where Dr. Tomi Mitchell’s updated Burnout Triad and the 3E’s Framework—Embrace, Evaluate, and Energize—come together to create a powerful roadmap for healing and sustainable well-being
The Burnout Triad
REDEFINING BURNOUT:
THE THREE CRITICAL RELATIONSHIPS
For too long, burnout has been reduced to a personal failing, when in reality, it is a systemic crisis. Dr. Mitchell challenges the outdated definitions and brings to light what burnout truly is—a breakdown of three essential relationships:
The Relationship with Ourselves
This is the relationship most often neglected, and arguably the most important relationship we have. Society glorifies overwork and self-sacrifice, but ignoring our own needs leads to mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical collapse. Setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s an act of survival.
The Relationship with Work
Work should inspire, challenge, and empower—not consume and deplete. Yet in many environments, productivity is valued over people, and exhaustion is mistaken for dedication. Toxic workplace cultures, lack of autonomy, and relentless pressure are not signs of ambition—they are breeding grounds for burnout.
The Relationship with Others
As social beings, connection is fundamental to our health. But dysfunction in leadership, poor communication, and lack of support can leave individuals feeling isolated, invisible, and undervalued. Burnout thrives where community and empathy are absent.
Dr. Mitchell goes beyond surface-level solutions. She helps individuals and organizations dismantle the very conditions that cause burnout, advocating for systemic change that restores balance, respect, and humanity in work and life.
Burnout is not inevitable—it is preventable.
It begins by repairing these critical relationships and challenging the systems that profit from our exhaustion.
These areas are deeply interconnected, and when even one is out of balance, it can contribute to the exhaustion, detachment, and overwhelm that define burnout. By recognizing and realigning these key relationships, you begin the process of true, lasting recovery—not just coping, but thriving.
