About Us
You're Burnt out. We get it.
Burnt Out + Co was born from exhaustion, chaos, and caffeine - the kind that makes you want to set your to do list on fire. Burnt Out + Co is a lifestyle for the overworked, the unfiltered, and the unapologetic. 
We're not about pretending everything's fine. We're about making self-care smell like rebellion. Every candle and wax is hand-poured with attitude, designed to say what you're really thinking: I'm tired, but still hot. We pour our wax with purpose- to remind you it's okay to melt down, reset, and still look good doing it.
Burnt Out + Co is where self-care meets "I'm over it." Smells good. Feels better. Looks hot.
Hey, I'm Jake — the tired perfectionist behind Burnt Out + Co.
I spent years in retail chasing perfection — visuals, KPIs, building teams, hitting numbers, and everyone else’s version of success.
Then I hit the wall. Burnout wasn’t a buzzword — it was my daily reality.
This brand was born after one too many 12-hour shifts, too much caffeine, and the realization that burnout isn’t a phase — it’s a lifestyle. I built Burnt Out + Co somewhere between a breakdown and a breakthrough.
So I started pouring that energy into wax — as a creative outlet when everything else felt like too much. What began as therapy turned into a brand built on honesty, exhaustion, and the art of not giving up. Every scent, label, and drop comes with a wink, a little chaos, and a lot of “I’m fine, but not really.” This is self-care for the ones who laugh through breakdowns.
Every pour is a little therapy, a little chaos, and a whole lot of “fuck it, I’m done pretending.”
