MARRIED TO YOUR CAREER AND DIVORCED FROM YOUR TRUE SELF?

RECALIBRATE YOUR SENSE OF SELF AND BRING YOUR MOJO BACK TO LIFE

YOUR CAREER IS A WORK OF HEART

As a discerning GenX woman who’s built a successful career and busy life, you’ve made the hard stuff look easy for decades. When asked if you can do something new you reply: “Sure! Just tell me what I need to know and I’ll master it in 2,5 days.”

Yes you love a good laugh, and you’re also unable to switch off from work – ever – and have started feeling emotionally drained, numb, and disconnected from your life. Self-doubt has started creeping into your decisions, and your confidence and joie de vivre are lagging.

The most annoying thing though, is that you’ve lost your gorgeous Sense of Self. Life isn’t fun anymore, and you’ve stopped trusting yourself and your shrewd GenX instincts too.

If you recognise this, I’m inviting you on a little treasure hunt. (Hah – bet you weren’t expecting that, were you?) The GenX Recalibration Map offers a playful look at what’s hiding beneath your beliefs and all that busyness, so you can start recognising where you’re overriding your own needs.

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING RING TRUE?

* Your relentless work ethic means you do everything at 150% effort, even if it doesn’t require it and your calendar is always full

* Your patience with everything is low, and you struggle with a short fuse and random feelings of imposter syndrome

* What used to be inspiring now feels tedious, and you scroll instead of resting because even your downtime needs to be useful

* You’re continually validating yourself through your work because that was your programming for ‘success’ as a youngster

* You can’t sleep properly and your health is wobbling, yet you continue to override your body’s signals because you can’t afford to slow down

* You’ve done all the things – the yoga classes, affirmations and vision boards – but your MOJO’s gone and now you’re just feeling resentful

CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS, CHANGE YOUR LIFE

The most profound relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself.

~ Shirley MacLaine

The world has changed, and with it the way you manage yourself, your life and your career. AI has disrupted industries at a pace that’s left many people feeling overwhelmed and fragmented, and yet your relentless GenX work ethic means you’re still giving more and pushing harder, because that’s what you’ve always believed you *should.

What if your beliefs are the very things driving you to burnout?

Burnout is NOT about about pushing through stress, managing a heavy workload, or setting ‘better boundaries’. You can be ambitious and hardworking and never reach burnout, or you can be unambitious and bored, and still reach burnout.

Burnout is a much larger systemic issue where chronic toxicity surpasses your Sense of Self, and it impacts the entire body, mind and nervous system.

The Burnout Equation from Burnoutology explains it beautifully: Toxicity minus Sense of Self = Burnout

That ‘toxicity’ can come from anywhere – your belief systems, a difficult relationship, your self-talk, hectic workplace stressors, poor lifestyle and environmental factors – and it often hides in plain sight.

I spent 20 years in corporate HR, helping leaders, managers and teams – across continents and industries – perform at their best and surpass their professional and business goals.

I also spent almost 40 years bound to my *Shackles of Should, believing I was living a healthy lifestyle and ‘doing all the right things’, and reached burnout twice.

My first experience was misdiagnosed, and my second had me sobbing in my doctor’s office needing major surgery.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

LOATHING TO LOVE: "Before working with Lee, I was overwhelmed by the relentless pressure of my job. My days had been marked by chronic fatigue, a sense of detachment from my work, and an inability to enjoy my personal life. From the very beginning, Lee provided a compassionate and insightful approach to understanding the root causes of my burnout. Through a series of sessions, we focused on understanding my beliefs and how those had affected my ability to set and maintain healthy personal boundaries. Lee introduced practical strategies to improve the way I show up in the world, and as a result of my coaching, I experienced a profound recovery in my energy levels and emotional wellbeing. My productivity at work increased, and I rediscovered a sense of purpose and enthusiasm in my professional and personal life."

BURNOUT TO BLISS: "When I met Lee I was on my way to burnout, micromanaging my team and generally not a fun person to be around. It's truly amazing how a simple shift towards positivity can have such a profound impact on your life. I now sleep peacefully at night, I feel empowered, and have a genuine appetite for my personal and professional growth. I have gained the wisdom to know when to remain composed and when to speak up, and when I compare how I used to handle things with how I approach them now, the difference in me is remarkable! The impact you've had on my journey of growth and transformation has been life-changing.”

CLOSED TO COMPASSIONATE: "The first thing I discovered was I needed to change the way I perceived myself and start to have compassion for ME. I also discovered that I have limiting beliefs and a fixed mindset that have contributed to my lack of confidence, which is ironic considering my work is very academic. Now I realise I am capable of so much more, I just need to silence the saboteurs and noisy voices in my head."

LOST TO INSPIRED: "Before working with Lee I had basically lost my mojo when it came to my work and motivation. This was due to some bad experiences at work during lockdown and the general pressure that followed in trying to work in extremely difficult circumstances. I was eventually forcing myself to come to work, and I was at the point of giving up. Lee tells you like it is, sometimes it's just what you need to hear to pull yourself out of the rut. At times during our sessions I really thought that she could read what was going on in my head! I genuinely encourage anyone to engage with Lee who needs help. I am now living as the best version of myself!"

SELF-CRITICAL TO SELF-SUPPORTING: "I discovered that I was being very hard on myself by not acknowledging how far I have come in my different roles at home, in my work and as a member of society. By acknowledging how much I have achieved and the contribution I have given throughout my life, my perspective of life has changed and has eased my anxiety. I discovered how much time I have if I plan better and prioritize. I need not please everyone. I am a good person without external affirmation. Lee is very patient, a good listener, an expert at her craft but most importantly genuine as a human being. My time with her was worth every cent."

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN

Your beliefs can either support or erode your Sense of Self. They impact your mood, your MOJO, productivity, self-esteem, relationships, and your mental, emotional, spiritual, financial and physical health.

How do I know? Because I was you.

I was a high performer who loved my work and gave everything to it, and still lost my Sense of Self and my MOJO.

It’s designed to help you slow down and gently start to reconnect to yourself once again.

Because burnout affects your body, mind and soul, and you can’t just think your way out of it.

My work is guided by a combination of lived experience, emerging science and professional integrity. I am not a doctor nor a therapist, and I do not diagnose, but I can (and do) refer on to appropriate practitioners where necessary. I am mindful of coaching ethics as detailed by the ICF (International Coaching Federation) and COMENSA (Coaches and Mentors of South Africa) as well as The PSYCH-K® Centre International.

I am steered at all times by my own ethical code and alongside my values, which are: to hold integrity, inspire trust, be open to learn, choose accountability and embrace freedom.

If you’re ready to release your pain, meet your MOJO and fall in love with Work and Life again, let’s connect.
