Your burnout, disconnect, & lack of fulfillment
You are on a hamster wheel going nowhere. You are running from false threats, and not working toward anything aligned with your sense of purpose. You are trying to protect yourself from judgement. You are giving more than you are receiving. You’ve lost your spark. And what are you left with?

people pleasing
running off fumes

Have you ever taken the time to ask yourself what is your sense of purpose?
Do you know what actions are aligned to your core self?
The truth is you are a high achiever, you’ve accomplished more than most and that is why you have succeeded in your career and are in/or on the path toward a leadership position
But nobody really asks themselves “what feels authentic to me?” because thats not part of the programming. We are conditioned to consider others needs and feeling but not our own. The last thing we expected from doing the “right” things in life is feeling fatigue, uneasiness, anxiety. But its because we were doing it all based on others comfort and expectations.
Living from the defensive state of survival mode makes way for patterns of people pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, overthinking, rigidity to remain active, but you are now realizing this is not sustainable.
Its time to let it go. Its time to find your authentic self so you can finally live a life based on quality experiences not quantity of accomplishments.
Learning to lead from a place of purpose and authenticity is so different, you wont recognize yourself,
but you will feel more like yourself than ever before.
When Perfection has been your protection…
It can be really hard to let go of the way of working that got you to the level of success you reached. The exhaustion, tension, lack of fulfillment is a sign its time to find a more sustainable way of continuing to progress toward success. Think of perfectionism as a relentless bully or a hostile manager who never acknowledges your efforts. The feeling of defeat that can come after thinking you hit the mark, just to learn the boos has moved the bar even further. This constant pressure can leave you feeling like a failure, regardless of how much you’ve accomplished.
Truth is, the pursuit of perfection is psuedo-safety, keeping you from realizing the threat is in your head not in real life.
But because you haven’t made that connection yet, you will continue in the cycle of:
Giving- giving- giving, and feeling depleted with no sense of fulfillment in the end
Dreaming of the day you will finally feel happy and get out of the cycle
Feeling like no matter what you do you can’t win, you feel like your giving your all and still nobody is happy.
Doing everything for everyone but never felt more disconnected from yourself in your life.
After so many years of leading from a place of survival, it can be hard to let down the the defenses. Before letting them go, its important to understand them first:
-
Defenses are ways we have learned to protect ourselves, and maybe we needed those defenses whether it was people pleasing, staying quiet, being aggressive, or escaping the situation. Problem is, those defenses likely no longer serve us and have become maladaptive behavior patterns that get in the way of being our CORE SELF.
-
A combination of Nature and Nurture. Some of us are born a bit more anxious, aware of others, wanting to do well. When we journey through chronically problematic spaces in our life, we take some of our natural traits to the extreme and/or develop other responses to help us survive those difficult situations.
-
It’s likely noticeable if we’ve ever been asked “are you ok?” But not all of us have a person around them brave enough to ask a hard working independent woman if they are “ok”. They will avoid the topic, or you. This can impact our connections with others, and will definitely keep us in survival mode aka road to burnout.
-
You will want to first get curious as to what may have activated defenses and how old is this behavior pattern. Next you will want to rework those unhelpful narratives you have been operating under. You will then want to get your body to catch up with these new thoughts by calming down the survival mode responses. Finally start getting in alignment with your newfound safety and security within yourself and start taking action on value aligned paths to get you to operate CONFIDENTLY and AUTHENTICALLY!

Shifting my perspective, clarifying my values, practicing self-compassion, and exploring spirituality helped me live more aligned and fulfilled. I’m professionally more confident, personally more content, more present, and better connected with people I care about. I want the same for you.
