From Overwhelmed to Overjoyed

At the height of my career in medicine it became obvious that I was an expert at telling everyone else what was best for them, while ignoring my own boundaries and well-being. By all external accounts I was successful.  But on the inside I was a mess.

Though I loved my work, my family, volunteering at my church and in my community, I found myself physically exhausted, emotionally frustrated and mentally confused.

I was stuck. I couldn't keep up AND I couldn't quit. 

Worst of all, I didn't think I could tell anybody.                                                                                                                           

Something had to give.

Faced with finding a path back to me or being consumed by more of the same, I had a decision to make.

No one was coming to save me. I needed to define what I wanted and chart a course forward. I was clear on what I didn't want, but the future was opaque. 

I began prioritizing my health, defining my work availability, making space for giving back to the community and accepting that I was no longer available to be the solution for everyone's needs. (Spoiler alert: The world didn't fall apart.)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Soon, I was happier, healthier, and creating a more balanced life experience.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         In the process I came to understand what was at work "behind the scenes" driving my beliefs, behaviors and ultimately, my results. Once I understood how Trauma Drive was impacting my everyday life I could address it. The results speak for themselves: I lost 40 pounds, started sleeping better, felt more energized, had command over my mood, and got a $17,500 raise.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Now, using my Freedom Framework and Burnout R.E.S.E.T. Blueprint women like you can shift out of those same cycles to create an intentional life that may include working hard but also has space for the things you love that make life joyful and fulfilling.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I am here for the woman just like me who is keeping everything inside and trying to figure it out all by herself.  You do not have to do it alone.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Come discover how much life there is to live when you make yourself available to it.
