Hi! I'm Michelle Risser.

I’ve always had a lot of irons in the fire.

From the time I was 14 years old working in an ice cream shop, I've had multiple streams of income. Some of my moonlighting gigs included tutoring, babysitting, bookkeeping, painting murals and playing guitar and singing in a pool hall. I like to be busy, I have a lot of ideas and I get really excited about learning new things!

The very first full-time, 9-to-5 job I ever had was right after grad school, and I thought it was going to kill me. I remember thinking… how do people do this? I lasted exactly 4 years, hit major burnout, and once my daughter was born I said never again.

Now I’m back to multiple streams of income and having a lot more fun! I have a private therapy practice, I teach CEUs, I get paid to write, I do clinical consultation and coaching.

For fun, I sing in a choir, knit, still play guitar and hang out with friends and family. And, I love being a mom!

I want to do all of the things, and I know you do too.

I'm a licensed therapist and coach/ consultant with 23 years experience helping people overcome the junk that gets in the way of living their best lives!

I completely nerd out on business stuff and I have a lot of fun with work.
My superpower is taking messy, complex ideas and turning them into super simple, doable steps.
Burnout Badger helps me teach about burnout, chronic stress and diversified income streams on social media, and I even have a stuffed badger I tote around.
