Taking the Cape Off

Taking the Cape Off is a book, podcast, and conversation about burnout, boundaries, and the quiet weight people carry every day. Created by author and speaker Damon Lester, this space is for anyone who has been the strong one for a long time and is ready to carry responsibility differently. Here you’ll find reflections, conversations, and resources focused on clarity, decision-making, and choosing what finally gets put down.
