Protect Your Energy: Avoid Overwork & Burnout (+ Free Resource Inside!)
|
Friend... A client once shared their story with me, and it really stuck. They were juggling multiple projects, responding to emails at all hours, and skipping lunch breaks more often than not. One night, they found themselves staring at their laptop at 2 a.m., completely disoriented—they couldn’t even remember what day it was. They were burnt out, and it was taking a toll on everything—their health, their relationships, and even their confidence at work. When we started working together, they were ready to make a change but unsure how to start. Here’s what we did to help them regain balance and take control of their time and energy:
Within a few weeks, they felt more in control, energized, and present—in both their work and personal life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, know that you’re not alone. I’ve created a Burnout Prevention Checklist to help you take small, actionable steps to protect your time and energy. 👉 Download the Burnout Prevention Checklist.pdf This free resource will help you create boundaries, prioritize self-care, and stay focused on what truly matters—without sacrificing your well-being. If this resonates with you, reply and let me know: what’s one boundary you’d like to set this week? I’d love to cheer you on! P.S.

Friend... Last time, we talked about how emotions don’t just disappear when we ignore them... they wait. And when they finally demand attention, it’s usually at the worst possible time. This doesn’t just apply to personal emotions, it happens in our careers too. Have you ever been fired (or left a job under tough circumstances) and told yourself, That’s in the past, I don’t need to think about it anymore? But then, months later, when you’re in an interview and asked why you left that job, all...
Friend... Sometimes, we face tough decisions, and our instinct is to push our feelings aside. We tell ourselves we’ll deal with them later—when we have more time, when things aren’t as stressful, when we feel ready. But here’s the thing: if you don’t process your emotions, they don’t just disappear. They wait. And then, at the most random moment, they come crashing in.
