Tired of pretending everything is fine?
So are we.
Burnout sucks. It leaves you drained, lost, and carrying a weight that no one else seems to see.
​
That’s why Growth Buddy exists: to match you with someone who actually gets it. No fluff. No fake positivity. Just real talk, real support, and someone to walk beside you while you find your way forward.
How it Works
From feeling alone to finding someone who gets it.
Answer a few questions
Burnout isn’t easy to admit. Friends don’t always get it. Work doesn’t either. That’s why we start by asking you: where are you right now, what do you need, and how do you want to connect? Just straight-up honesty, no judgment.

Get matched with someone who understands
In a quick interview we try to understand who might be a good match for you.
Then we connect you with someone who’s been through something similar. So you can finally drop the mask and speak freely.

Grow through it together
Healing is messy. Progress isn’t linear. But with the right buddy by your side, you don’t have to drag yourself through it alone. If it clicks, you can dive into our guided program built to help you support each other and come out stronger.
Because healing is easier when you feel understood.
Burnout can be brutal. It drains you, makes you feel like you’re failing, and leaves you wondering if anyone really understands. Friends and family mean well but let’s be honest, they don’t always get it.
​
That’s where Growth Buddy comes in. You get matched with someone who’s been there too; no masks, no judgment, no pretending. Just real talk, mutual support, and the relief of not carrying it all alone.
​
It’s free, it’s human, and it’s here to remind you: you don’t have to fight burnout by yourself. Together, you can find strength, hope, and maybe even a bit of lightness again.

FAQs
What exactly is Growth Buddy?
Growth Buddy pairs you with someone who’s been through burnout and truly understands how it feels. Together, you follow a guided program, share progress, encourage each other through setbacks, and celebrate the little victories. It’s about having someone by your side who gets it, so you don’t have to go through recovery alone.
Is Growth Buddy an app or a coaching program?
Growth Buddy works as an interactive digital tool (accessible via web and mobile). Through our platform you will be matched with your growth buddy, access the program guide as well as resources and track your progress. You are free to choose to meet with your Growth Buddy in person, if you like.
How is it different from therapy?
Therapy focuses on deep healing with a licensed professional. Growth Buddy is a complementary support tool and not a replacement. Your Growth Buddy is not a professional nor licensed specialist. They are someone just like you who understand what its like to go through burnout. The guide helps you practice daily habits, track progress, and bridge the gap between therapy sessions or aftercare.
What kind of exercises are included?
Short, practical exercises based on mindfulness, cognitive reframing, self-reflection, and burnout reintegration best practices. Each exercise is tailored to your healing stage. The main goal though is for you to exchange with your Growth Buddy about your challenges, learnings and support each other. The exercises are just there to help you and guide you.
What if I relapse or feel stuck?
Growth is not linear. And anyone who has been through burnout will understand. Growth Buddy adapts. If you have a setback, the program recalibrates to provide more grounding and self-care tools before guiding you forward again.
Can HR teams or companies use Growth Buddy?
Yes. Organizations can provide Growth Buddy to employees as part of mental health and reintegration support programs. This reduces long-term sick leave costs and improves employee well-being. It is like a more sustainable Employee Assistance Program.
Can I use Growth Buddy if I’m not burned out but want to grow?
Yes! Many users start Growth Buddy as a preventive tool for balance, resilience, and personal development around a certain topic.
