I spent way too many years playing the role of the "good girl". I was smart, driven, pretty, polished, responsible, dependable, flexible, and absolutely NEVER a problem....to anyone...ever. And I thought that it all kept me safe. And in some ways it did: It kept me from ever slowing down enough to question what I really wanted for my life.

Until one day I woke up and hardly knew who was staring at me in the mirror (I know, such a cliché, but it's true!) I spent my whole life chasing the next goal and never took a moment to think about whether it was what I actually wanted.  I neglected my loved ones and myself in the name of my career...and then my business. I was tired of looking like I had everything, but feeling empty and exhausted inside.

I was always looking for something to fix me. I thought my promotion into leadership with higher pay and status would get me “there” -- to the “end zone” where I could finally be happy and secure in what I’d achieved.

But it wasn't enough. It was never enough.

And despite having over 7 years of experience as a career coach, I found myself bawling on the phone with my very own newly hired career coach a few months into my promotion.

And the biggest lesson I learned in my own journey: Quitting alone can't heal your burnout. Burnout is a symptom of a much deeper problem.

Burnout is multi-dimensional. It can't be solved by just external changes to your circumstances. Even if quitting may help short term, you'll bring those same set of thoughts, habits, and behaviors with you wherever you go.

It was only after I began to understand the real reasons my burnout happened that I was able to break out of the cycle. And now I help others do the same.

I help my clients break free of the burnout cycle, love their work again, and still have the success they crave--- all while having way more fun while doing it.  Are you ready to work together? Let's get started!

I was constantly chasing more. A better me. A better job. A better life. And all I felt was empty.
