  • "I became a mentee when I landed a new job in a new industry after a burnout, which was a really challenging time for me. Over 6 months of our mentoring journey, [my mentor] helped me become my pre-burnout self but better. My mentor helped me resolve an issue that I could not resolve in 3 years of personal therapy, so it was truly life changing for me"
