Welcome to this week's tea. That you won't find on Linked In, but I will share with you. Take a sip or drink the whole lot. Enjoy.
You’re not burnt out.? You're simply out of alignment with your truth. Perhaps it's time to stop getting high on the ‘mirage of success’ supply, doing what you can to feel ok as you maintain it, and instead get more high on your own internal supply and create a life that actually feels good, not just one that looks the part?
We’ve never been more inundated with resources and knowledge on how to improve ourselves – from self-help books, podcasts to wellness modalities and the latest magic pill and potion. Yet, despite all these tools at our disposal, burnout remains an ever-growing epidemic. Why? Because we've been conditioned to focus solely on what we do, rather than who we are.
Here’s the truth: banishing burnout requires more than just a holiday, a regular yoga routine or better time management and delegation. It demands a deep dive into self-inquiry, a journey to remember who we truly are at our core. And the courage to live as her. So, where do we start?
Chances are, if you're feeling burnt out for a prolonged period, it's because you're out of alignment with your value. I repeat, VALUE. Not values. Although they matter immensely too.
Like a car in need of a wheel alignment, when we're out of sync with our true selves, and what actually makes us feel alive and free in our authentic expression, things feel off. We may find ourselves suppressing our truth, living in fear, or hiding parts of ourselves to maintain the status quo, keep the peace, and preserve our sense of belonging, safety and security. This is often why we stay in the stable yet unfulfilling relationship for more years than we should, buckle to the demands of effectively managing parenting and career and accepting ‘its stressful’, stay in a job or career ‘for the money’, why we talk ourselves out of pursuing more of what we love, and ‘accept our fate’ instead of leaning into our desire for more and different. Been there done that.
This is particularly true for women; we are groomed from a young age to perform. To serve, to sacrifice our needs for others, to listen and obey instead of speaking up, in order be loved, acknowledged, recognised, and accepted. To do what is required, not what is desired. And if we work in professional realms, chances are the good girl within is operating on people pleasing, high performing steroids.? Until one day, our soul lets us know it’s out of steam and tired of being ignored. Hello career crisis, menopause, divorce, health issues, illness , mental breakdown etc.
Modern societal structures are not set up to nurture our nature. And so it is up to us, to you as a sovereign woman, to create and sustain your own.
If you’re here, I see and feel you. Don’t despair. Get clear and connected, you will be fine.
If you’re not but feel you’re on the way, pay closer attention to your insides and prevent the train wreck now.
Where to begin? Tune in.
Make space to be with yourself. Stop being so busy as a priority. Sit your ambitious tooshie down for a few moments.
Start asking yourself better quality questions. And answer them honestly with compassion. Here are three power portals to get your inner fire burning bright once again.

1.????? Who do I love being? Am I her in my energy and how I show up daily now? And if not what’s in the way? Where do I need to make changes? Move to make them happen, and address what ‘good girl’ patterns come up for you as you do.
2.????? What am I addicted to? Achievement? Success? Being admired? Can I feel successful, worthy, important and admired without the external markers? If not, explore your relationship with validation and see where you can self-validate more. Learn the skills to create deeper fulfilment from more ‘being’ and less ‘doing’.
3.????? What lights me up? What did I love when I was 5? Your inner child holds the keys to your infinite intelligence. And the truth of who you are and your inherent value before the matrix of the modern world got its hands on you and steadily created the current disconnection you experience in your being, which you call burnout.
These questions are not just idle ponderings – they're the key to unlocking our innermost desires, intrinsic value, and highest values. ?They provide the invaluable inner compass through which to make decisions and move through life and business in a more aligned easeful way. So, you can have what you really want, without the burn out.
?
What lights me up? Helping women to move from burnt out to lit up. It's easier than you think. The hardest bit is admitting the truth to yourself.
If you’re ready to probe deeper, banish or prevent burnout in as little as 60 minutes, send me a DM to learn more about how.
Here to farewell your good girl, and welcome in the most lit up powerhouse era of YOU.
