I help ambitious women
break the cycle of burnout
so they can live with
more joy and adventure.

For years, I told myself one day I would make a change

But for now I just needed to focus on my career.

I said yes to every opportunity to volunteer, attend a conference, or advance my career in some way. I only travelled when it was for work. Doing the things I really wanted to do would come later.

Then I had a breakdown.

I finally took a vacation with my family. After being on the road for six weeks (an accomplishment I bragged about online) I was completely exhausted. One little joke from my sister and I broke down in tears.  I wasn't just burnt out, I was fried,

It was time to make a change - for me.

I took some time outside to myself and cried it out. (Now that's a formula to feel better - fresh air and a good cry!) When I got back home I started doing things differently. I created routines that energized me. I adopted habits that fulfilled me. I learned to say no. I broke the cycle of burnout that had gripped me for years.

I still put a lot on my plate, all the time.

But now I manage to actually make it all happen without feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
The trick is knowing my priorities,
having a plan, and
always making time for what brings me joy.

Busy without the burnout is possible!
