MARRIED TO YOUR CAREER AND DIVORCED FROM YOUR TRUE SELF?

OK it feels like a bit of a buzzword at the moment, so what exactly is ‘burnout’?

Burnout is NOT just about feeling tired all the time. It’s also not a mental health condition, and it doesn’t only happen to people who are employed in corporates – it can happen in any profession and stage of your life.

It’s also a much larger systemic issue, and the negative consequence of giving too much for too long, while becoming completely disconnected from a career or life that you previously derived much of your identity, value and meaning from. 

And it’s on the rise globally, as we’re all becoming more and more disconnected from ourselves, each other, our food systems, and our natural world.

Even your subconscious beliefs can sabotage your connection, which means they directly affect your mood, productivity, self-esteem, relationships, and your mental, emotional, spiritual, financial and physical health.

Which of these ring true for you?

• Your relentless work ethic means you do everything at 150% effort, even if it doesn’t require it
  
  
• You’re generally tired, fairly cynical about life, and subtly disengaged from yourself and your loved ones
  
  
• You yearn for something more but don’t know what that is, or what it even feels like
  
  
• You’ve lost your sense of humour and struggle with random feelings of imposter syndrome
  
  
• Your health is suffering and you can’t sleep properly – inflammation, irritability and/ or insomnia are overwhelming
  
  
• You validate yourself through your work because that was your programming for ‘success’ as a youngster
  
  
• You’ve done all the yoga classes, gone plant-based, done affirmations and vision boards, yet you’re still really struggling
  
  
• You don’t make time for Who and What you love anymore and can’t say Why or When you will
  
  
• Your spark has gone, taking your MOJO with it 

At this midlife point – and perhaps for the first time in your life – you don’t know how to fix it, and everything just feels ‘kak’.

How do I know? Because I was just like you. 

I too was a high achiever, with what I thought was a super healthy lifestyle. However I gave too much to my career, lost my Sense of Self and my MOJO, and battled emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually for years.

And I burnt out twice. The first occurrence was not properly diagnosed, and the second catapulted me into a new way of living and being in the world, including a purposefully revamped lifestyle.

So why work with a certified coach, and why me? 

Apart from all the official stuff, I am also trauma informed, burnout aware, have done training in emotional agility, and through my own lived experience, know exactly how it feels to be mired in deep pain, disconnect and overwhelm when what you really want is to feel uplifted and joyful and free.

Remember, there is only one You.

No one in the world was ever You before, with your specific set of gifts and abilities and possibilities.

The element that brought it all home for me was something I learnt about in my accredited training with The Burnout Academy in the UK, and it’s a very simple formula.

“Toxicity minus Self = Burnout”

It made perfect sense, because that’s exactly what happened to me! 

And while I’m not a medical professional who can diagnose, I am able to help you recognise the signs and redesign your life to create the following transformative results:
