More Success, Less Stress: How Investing in Yourself Transforms Careers

More Success, Less Stress: How Investing in Yourself Transforms Careers

Why Wait? The Best Time to Invest in Yourself is Now!

As we head towards the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on whether you’ve achieved everything you set out to in 2024. Did you reach your career goals, get that promotion, or finally feel like you’ve cracked the code on being seen and valued at work?

If the answer is “not yet,” or even “I’m still stuck”—then this newsletter is for you. Because the truth is, time slips away. You’ve likely been so busy focusing on everyone else that you’ve forgotten to invest in the most important person—*you*.

Here’s the thing: there’s never a perfect time. But there’s always right now.


You can get laid off from a job, but you can't get laid off from your skills, knowledge and experience. For long term job security, don't rely on your employer. Invest in yourself. Daniel Abrahams.

1. What’s Holding You Back?

For many women, the biggest hurdle isn’t the workload or lack of ambition—it’s time and confidence. How many times have you thought, “I’ll focus on myself later” or “I should be able to figure this out on my own”? I see this time and time again with women in senior positions—whether it’s because they’ve always been the problem solvers for others, or they think investing in their own development is selfish.

Sound familiar?

What if I told you that by not taking the time to invest in yourself, you’re actually holding yourself back from greater success, recognition, and impact?

That’s exactly what some of the women I’ve worked with thought before they took the leap. Here’s what they learned: investing in yourself is the key to working less and achieving more. The women I work with have gone on to set boundaries, gain recognition, and even negotiate pay rises and promotions—all without burning out.

2. Let’s Talk About Money

I get it—investing in your own development can feel like a big leap. Especially if you’ve had experiences in the past that didn’t deliver. But here’s the truth: the right investment in your personal and professional development doesn’t just pay off—it multiplies.

The women I’ve coached have seen huge financial returns from our work together. Many have achieved salary increases of between 20% and 300%. Yes, you read that right. And the best part? These aren’t women working harder or stretching themselves thinner. These are women who have learned to set boundaries, communicate their value, and work smarter, not harder.

One client recently received the biggest bonus of her career. Another was offered a massive promotion she didn’t even apply for. These aren’t isolated stories—they’re the norm.

3. Fear of Failure, Fear of Success

One of the most surprising things I hear from women is not just the fear of failure, but also the fear of success. They worry about what success might mean for their families, or how their lives might change if they do take that step up. I get it. It’s scary to think about life being different, especially when you’re already juggling so much.

But what if success doesn’t have to mean more stress or more work? What if it could mean more ease, more recognition, and more time for the things that matter most to you?

For many of my clients, that’s exactly what happens. They don’t just achieve career success—they create lives that feel aligned and fulfilling, too.

4. Stop Trying to Do It All Alone

I’ve had so many women come to me saying, “I should be able to do this on my own.” But the truth is, no one achieves greatness alone. Just as athletes have coaches, and leaders have advisors, your career and personal development deserve expert support, too.

I’m here to be that support. Through my programs, you won’t just gain skills—you’ll learn how to shift your mindset, break down the internal barriers holding you back, and tap into the full potential that’s already within you.
