Pim de Rooij’s Personal Story
I know what it’s like to feel completely broken.
Not just exhausted, but empty. Like life has lost all meaning. Like you’re standing at the edge of yourself, looking into a void, wondering if you’ll ever feel normal again.
A few years ago, I was at the peak of my career—Director of Product at Europe’s fastest-growing EdTech company, leading teams, making an impact. I had spent my entire life asking, “Why do people do what they do?” and it had taken me far. I had built businesses, managed departments, and helped shape the online learning industry. But there was one thing I hadn’t learned: how to stop myself from crashing.
I burned out so badly that I had to walk away from everything. It wasn’t just exhaustion; my body shut down. I couldn’t function. I spiraled into anxiety and depression so deep that I questioned whether life was even worth living. The recovery process took me three years. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced.
But it was also the best thing that ever happened to me (apart from having kids of course).
Because through my suffering, I discovered something most people never do: true healing isn’t about simply resting—it’s about transformation.
Burnout Isn’t Just a Condition
It’s a Turning Point
Most people recover from burnout, only to relapse within three years. Why? Because they never address the root cause. They try therapy, nutrition, exercise, or meditation—but none of these things, on their own, solve the real problem.
I left no stone unturned. I spoke to leading professors, psychologists, neuroscientists, and even the people who originally coined the term ‘burnout.’ I wanted answers, not just for myself but for the millions of others struggling to recover. What I found changed everything: burnout isn’t one single issue. It’s a process, with three distinct phases, and each phase requires a different approach. Get it wrong, and you can make things worse. Get it right, and you don’t just heal—you become someone new. We aim to help you transform your habits and personality and build the resilience needed to face the future with confidence.
That’s why I created Stllnss.
The Best Burnout Recovery Program in the World
Most recovery programs ask too much from you. They tell you to “just read this book” or “just go to therapy,” without understanding that when you’re truly burned out, you don’t have the energy to search for solutions. That’s why I built Stllnss to be different.
The Burnout Recovery Course is based on deep research and real-life experience. It guides you step-by-step through recovery, ensuring you never feel lost. You don’t have to piece together random advice or sit on a waitlist for months. Help is available right now, from day one.
And it’s not just for individuals. Burnout is a growing crisis in workplaces worldwide. Companies are losing their best people because they don’t know how to support them. That’s why Stllnss also works with HR professionals, offering expert guidance and tailored solutions to help employees recover and thrive.
Your Next Step
If you’re burned out, you don’t have to go through this alone. Sign up for the Burnout Recovery Course and let me guide you through every step of your healing journey.
If you’re an HR professional looking for the best burnout solution for your employees, let’s talk. Book a free consultancy call, and I’ll show you how Stllnss can help your team recover and prevent burnout for good.
You can heal. You can come back stronger. And when you do, life will be better than it ever was before.
Because true healing lies in the transformation process, not in the act of gaining knowledge.
Let’s begin.
