broken open: how burnout revealed my true purpose.
the path that led me here
I understand burnout because I've lived it.
For seven years, I led high-end projects in the corporate world, excelling at meeting others' expectations while my own needs faded into the background. Like many of my clients, I was praised for my ability to manage complex demands—yet this "success" was slowly eroding my connection to myself.
It took complete burnout and the near-collapse of my marriage to finally hear what my body and heart had been trying to tell me for years. That breakdown became my breakthrough, showing me how disconnection from ourselves affects every aspect of our lives and relationships.
what guides my work
Love and intuition are my superpowers.
They help me see beneath the surface, creating spaces where you feel truly seen—often for the first time in years. These gifts guided me out of a corporate career that slowly drained my energy and through the most challenging chapters of my life.
What qualifies me for this work goes beyond formal training. It's my personal journey through burnout, boundary struggles, and identity loss. It's walking through the vulnerability of starting over when everything I thought defined me fell away.
I've felt the confusion when my sense of value disappeared after years of finding worth in achievement and helping others. I've faced my patterns of codependency, perfectionism, and the shadows that kept me cycling through depletion.
I found my way back to myself—and now I guide others on that same journey home.

Burnout recovery isn't linear, and it doesn't happen overnight.
It took me a year to recover enough physical and emotional energy to even begin rebuilding myself. What I could once accomplish in an hour would take me days, and learning to be patient with this new pace was part of my healing.
Four years on, I still honor the wisdom my burnout taught me—the importance of boundaries, the necessity of self-connection, and the courage to live aligned with my authentic needs rather than external expectations.
The woman I am today is both softer and stronger than the woman who drove herself to depletion. I'm still blooming, but always in my own way and at my own pace.
