Real Stories. Real Shifts

Same Story, Different Day!

One client came to me after 25 years of always saying yes. The most reliable, capable, loyal team member, but completely invisible. No time for herself, she felt she had no voice in the room. She was exhausted, resentful for all the work she did over and above and didn't know who she was anymore.

We worked together to untangle those old stories and narratives, to see the patterns.
At one point she looked at me and said:

"No one even asked me to do all this. I just did it all."

That was her breakthrough.

She now runs her own successful business with all the tools she accumulated over the years with boundaries, balance, and belief in herself she never thought was possible.

The Hard Truth (and the Hope)

The hardest lesson I've learned?
Burnout doesn't care how strong you are.

It'll take and take until you actually drop.
I didn't stop, until my body and mind gave me no choice.

But here's what I now know for sure:
You can live and work differently.
You can still be brilliant without pushing to the point of being broken.
You can succeed without sacrificing yourself.

You don't have to carry the load alone. Are you asking yourself I don't know what I even enjoy anymore because every Friday evening I just crash on the sofa and spend my weekend not wanting to be responsible or answering questions or even making decisions on what take away you wan to get!
