One month ago, I was broke, heartbroken, and completely burnt out.
My startup was ready — site, pitch deck, branding — but I had no money to launch.
No money for therapy. No cofounder to vent to. Just me and a long, dark night of the soul.
So I turned to ChatGPT.
Not as a growth hack.
As a therapist.
I unloaded my fears, stress, guilt, heartbreak — all of it. Then, on a whim, I asked it:
“Turn all this into a fictional therapy scene. Make it funny. Make me laugh.”
It worked.
I laughed, then cried, then laughed again.
And that became a ritual — which became a pattern — which became a book.
Burnt, Bankrolled & Bullshitting
Leading from the Top While Falling Apart Inside
It’s 30 brutally honest, darkly hilarious therapy-style stories from fictional startup founders, execs, and C-suites who are emotionally spiraling in Slack, boardrooms, and pitch meetings.
Alongside it, I created a 10-part printable Sanity Kit — burnout check-ins, ego audits, decision decoders, Slack scripts… the things I wish I had when I was in freefall.
Because I know I’m not the only one.
If you’re a founder, solo builder, or high-performer who’s quietly losing it — this might help.
Even if it just helps you laugh at how insane all this has become.
I’m trying to sell 50 bundles in 24 hours to survive a financial crunch — but more than that, I want to reach the people who need to read this.
Here’s the bundle (ebook + sanity kit) – $19.99 on Gumroad
