When Divorce Meets the Boardroom: Why Burnout Isn’t Just About Work—and What to Do About It

By Poonam Bhuchar | Divorce Coach | Attorney | Speaker

You walk into the office with a triple-shot espresso, a tailored blazer, and a smile that says, “I’ve got this.”

But beneath that polished exterior, your world is quietly unraveling. Divorce doesn’t announce itself with red flags in the workplace—it seeps in quietly. Missed deadlines. Fatigue. Short tempers. Emotional numbness.

And before long, corporate burnout isn’t just about Zoom fatigue or late-night reports—it’s the emotional toll of trying to keep your life together while it’s coming apart.

Divorce Is a Corporate Issue

Let’s be honest: personal issues don’t stay in a tidy box outside the office door.
When a professional is navigating a divorce, it affects:

• Productivity: Focus dips. Mistakes increase.

• Leadership: Emotional volatility can change how we lead.

• Well-being: Sleepless nights and stress take a toll.

• Culture: One person’s burnout ripples through entire teams.

And yet, most companies have no structured support for employees going through this transition.

Why Legal Help Isn’t Enough

You can hire the best attorney in town—and still feel completely lost.

Attorneys handle courtrooms and contracts. But who helps you manage the emotional chaos, the endless decisions, and the invisible toll divorce takes on your confidence, your parenting, and your professional presence?

This is where divorce coaching comes in.

For Employers: Why This Matters

If you're a leader, here’s why divorce coaching should matter to you:

• It reduces absenteeism and presenteeism.

• It prevents high performers from quietly burning out.

Divorce may be personal—but its impact is professional.
