I am stripping away being a "business coach."
This summer has been a doozy. Just this week I collected another diagnosis, started a new treatment plan and readjusted expectations of myself. I have been DEEP in the worst burnout I have been in since being a business owner (and that says a lot, I owned a business during a high-risk pregnancy through maternity leave and I am the only one my business relies on). But, I am coming out on the other side.
What I love about cellular-level burnout:
- it REALLY aligns me with what is for me and what isn't.
- it invites me to simplify and cut the bull shit in a way I never have before.
- it leans on my creativity to figure it out in a new way that is, almost always, preparing me for being propelled into the next, more value-aligned and healing adventure
- it invites me to get really real with myself and learn a deeper level of myself and my needs to heal beyond what I ever imagined possible for myself
All of this to say: I literally do this work for a living. I mentor change-makers to build a life and passion that are sustainable and burnout-proof. I help them make tangible the intangible and get so stupid clear on their needs, desires, and passions so that they can build a realistic plan to get there, without ever bypassing their humanity. I help them peel away the societal pressures and generational wounds they inherited to step into a new world that they created all their own to support themselves like they never have before. I help people find a new foundational level of safety in their body and mind that wasn't there before. I help them utilize their resources, delegate, and trust their process and their people to get them to the other side. We create new worlds together and that takes an incredible amount of energy, so we also manage that energy like dollars so we don't fall into a debt.
and yet, here I am. In massive energetic debt, cognitively, emotionally, and physically.
It feels so ironic, but the reality is, it isn't at all.
Because first and foremost, I AM HUMAN.
My world view necessarily hasn't changed but the angle of my business is.
We do humanity-honoring healthcare here. We do trauma informed, neurodivergest affirming, holistic healing. We do community, deeply rooted in belonging and trust. We do truth over toxic positivity and performance.
While this is nothing new, this is the MOST important piece of my work. I fell into performative, overworking habits. I fell into disillusion with the internet business-owning world of fabricated social media posts and algorithms and "professionalism." I ignored my body's cries for help until they were screaming, again. I did what society taught me to do and lost my way in the process.
I became what I fearlessly, passionately, and unapologetically hold my clients to the fire of the "slow down" for.
and that's ok.
Because I am a human and no one has outhealed the reality of the human experience yet.
My 1:1s are opening up this fall, and those aren't changing. If you need support during a transformation of any kind related to entrepreneurship, mystery/chronic illness, generational healing, or are just ready to meet a more refined, deeper version of yourself, that is available to you soon. Applications are being accepted.
But everything else that is coming is more potent than it has ever been. I love how every year in practice helps me refine my process and skill set. It's getting sharp over here.
I hope you leave with permission to be fully human today, comradery to feel less alone, a spark of excitement for diving into a deeper layer of you, or just a laugh that someone else is crying in their van this summer as a form of self-care.
so much love.
