When Helping Others Breaks You – Aaron Clark’s Burnout Story

Aaron Clark built something powerful a not-for-profit organisation called Mental Health Muscle that was changing lives across the UK.

What started as a mission to support others quickly exploded beyond anything Aaron imagined. At its peak, Mental Health Muscle was impacting tens of thousands of people and attracting thousands of messages every single week. But behind the scenes, Aaron was unravelling.

The pace was relentless. The responsibility was overwhelming.
And as the pressure mounted, Aaron’s own mental health collapsed. What began as passion turned into exhaustion, anxiety, and a complete burnout. It was a moment of truth: continue and risk everything, or step away and save his health.

In this raw and honest conversation, Aaron shares:

The rise of Mental Health Muscle and its powerful impact

The hidden cost of success and helping others

The signs of burnout he ignored and the consequences

How his breakdown changed his life and priorities

Why protecting your health is non-negotiable, no matter the mission

Aaron’s story is a cautionary tale for anyone driven by purpose and a powerful reminder that you cannot pour from an empty cup.
