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

You’re a discerning GenX woman who’s built a successful career and busy life, wherever in the world you’re living.

Emotionally savvy and technically adept, when asked if you can do something, you reply with: “Respectfully, I’m GenX. 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’ve been widely recognised for your brilliant work and personal accomplishments too. You’re also very stressed and can never switch off from work because you’re running on autopilot and just can’t stop thinking.

That sense of disconnect you’re feeling – both from yourself and those around you – is like being a square peg in a round hole, and it means self-doubt has started creeping in to your decisions and your confidence, so that your energy and joie de vivre are lagging. And let’s not forget the phone that won’t stop pinging, the ‘very quickly’ emails you need to answer, and the 3am mind games still replaying your day …!

The most annoying thing though is that you’ve lost your gorgeous Sense of Self along the way. Things are not fun anymore, and you’ve stopped trusting yourself and your shrewd GenX instincts too.

If you recognise this, take a look at The GenX Recalibration Map for some prompts and orientating questions designed to help you slow down your reactivity, reconnect to your inner truth, and notice where you’ve been 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 schedule is already full

* Your patience is low and you struggle with a short fuse, sarcastic bite backs 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 just feel resentful

COME HOME TO YOUR HEART - AND YOURSELF

Burnout is like a relationship gone bad: you know things aren’t working, and that something needs to change … but what is that exactly?

If you’re ready to nurture a new relationship with yourself, read on.

It may feel like an overused buzzword these days, but burnout is largely misunderstood.

In a June 2026 study in the Journal of Vocational Behaviour, academics analysed six decades of research and nearly 1M employee data points. Their finding was that role ambiguity is the biggest driver of declining employee performance, stress, burnout, and the intention to resign.

When we don’t know what success looks like or what decisions are ours to make, we struggle to find clarity.

So let’s get clear about what burnout is and what it isn’t:

Burnout is NOT about managing a heavy workload, or symptoms of menopause, or ‘feeling tired’ all the time. It’s also not a mental health condition. It’s a much larger systemic issue, and the negative consequence of giving too much for too long, while becoming completely disconnected from a life that you’ve derived much of your identity, value and meaning from.

And it’s on the rise globally, with massive financial, and devastating physical, mental and emotional costs, as we’re all becoming more and more disconnected from ourselves, each other, and the natural world.

Even your subconscious beliefs can sabotage your connection to your Self. This means they directly impact your mood, your MOJO, productivity, self-esteem, relationships, and your mental, emotional, spiritual, financial and physical health.

There’s an equation from my training with The Burnout Academy (UK) which explains it beautifully: Toxicity minus Sense of Self = Burnout

That ‘toxicity’ can come from a workplace, a relationship, negative self-talk, detrimental lifestyle or environmental factors – in other words anything – and it illustrates why recalibration to Self is so necessary in our modern, discombobulated world.

My Simplicity Code © is the methodology we follow to help you bring your MOJO back to life naturally, so that you flourish at work, at home, and most importantly, within.

Because you can’t think your way out of burnout.

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

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

How do I know? Because I was you. I was a high performer with what I thought was a ‘super healthy’ lifestyle who loved my work and gave too much to it. I did all the ‘right’ things that I’d been told would lead to success, and still lost my Sense of Self and my MOJO. And I burnt out twice – the first time in my 30’s and undiagnosed, and the second in my 40’s, which catapulted me into a whole new awareness and way of being in the world.
