Money and Success Won't Guarantee Happiness or Love.

Did you know you can have the title, the money, the success, the awards, and all the recognition - and still feel deeply unhappy?

Many accomplished and celebrated professionals now find themselves in a strange place: single, disillusioned, and unfulfilled.

This is the story of my client, P.

P is in her late 30s. Having worked hard all her life, climbing the corporate ladder, like she was taught and expected to do, she found herself no longer sure what she had been chasing all this time.

She is at the age where she is starting to reassess her life.

She acknowledges she has been in terrible relationships, neglecting her mind and body, and now suddenly looking at herself in the mirror and owning up that she is not happy.

And that in fact, she has not been happy for a long time.

But on top of that, she’s burned out.

Growing exhaustion, detached, and the growing lack of motivation.

The long hours at work, the late-night socialising, the designer gear and jimmy choos, the dermal fillers, the spa days and weekends away were her way of masking this feeling of emptiness and loneliness.

But she feels she can’t really share it with her friends.

Why? She no longer feels the connection.

Friends move on.

They are in your life for a season, a reason. Very few stay for a lifetime.

They all seem very happy with their families, and she doesn’t want to bring up her problems.

And whenever they do meet, they already joke about her lifestyle anyway.

But what we discovered was it was her last relationship that left her so destroyed that she didn't want to try anymore. Coming out of a long-term relationship four years ago, she doubted if she even wanted to be in one at all.

She decided that singledom was how she was going to live her life and adopted feminism - (her words).

But worse - she became a workaholic!

In summary, her life, her purpose, her reason for getting out of bed, her lifestyle was about work (and going after the next big promotion)!

She was on autopilot, going after external validation.

Work hard, socialise hard. No rest.

Unknowingly operating in her masculine energy (all the time)!

Until I bumped into her at an event.

And she agreed to give 'this life coaching thing' a go.

'What can I lose?' she laughed.

Well, she has gained a lot since.

We had to peel back a few layers - not dermal those deep, subconscious ones - and it's paying off.

After 3 months of working together, she’s very open to the idea of dating again.

She is learning to enjoy her job again, but:

Her work is no longer her sole purpose and identity.

She’s discovered her creative side - pole dancing!

She’s focused on her wellbeing - hired a PT, and even cut down on the fillers!

We’re working on emotional mastery. And self-love and self-compassion.

This time she is not compromising.

She is fiercely independent but learning to tap into and balance her feminine energy.

And she is ready to fall back in love - with herself and with life again.

And I can’t be more excited and happy for her.

Burnout may have been what pushed her to talk to me and want to reassess her life, but it was also the wake-up call she needed.
