Lately I’ve been sharing about my productivity urge and how it was keeping me constantly on my phone.

This simple shift – a notebook on the counter – has created so much mental space. Less automatic phone grabs, more presence with what’s actually in front of me.

But here’s what I’ve realised: the boundaries we think are about our phone or our time? They’re actually about so much more.

More on that tomorrow 🤍

Have you tried this yet?

Some recent thoughts on slowing down, bringing awareness to where we place our attention and time, and sharing with you as a form of accountability to myself some changes I’d like to make – coming back into alignment with my values, and what I want to create as a life for myself and more importantly, my daughter.

It’s interesting returning to a place that you know well, and you’ve loved in the past. It’s like revisiting past versions of yourself, and getting a new perspective on your current self – on how much you’ve changed, on how far you’ve come.

I never expected my recent trip to Thailand to give me such a clear reflection of exactly that.

Since growing up in Singapore, I spent a lot of time in Thailand, and as an adult and avid traveller, Thailand has been one of my preferred countries to visit. I don’t even know how many months I would’ve spent here over the years. It’s now been 8 years since my last visit, and I had to pick up a document for my business, so I thought I would enjoy a couple of days in Bangkok (one of my favourite cities previously) and check out an island I’ve never been to.

2 days in Bangkok was honestly overwhelming, intense and just a total sensory overload (for us both).

Between the traffic, the people, the overwhelm of choices and just the amount of noise and visual stimulation everywhere you go – it was too much.

It was an interesting realisation of where I am at today, and how much I’ve changed. My life has shifted dramatically over the last few years – I now have a 3-year-old, and our life in Bali is slower, more relaxed. My life in general prioritises nourishment, slowing down, and just a lot less rushing than I used to.

Not just as someone who is now a mama and nearing 40, but truly on a deeper level – my priorities, the way I live my life, and the peace and energy I seek has completely shifted from when I was in my 20s. Normal, expected, and I’m more than happy with that change.

Sometimes it takes coming back to old places to notice the old versions of you that no longer fit – and therefore how far you’ve come, how much you’ve changed, and to be able to appreciate it. I got reconfirmation (not that I was looking for it) that I’m on the right path, and I’m happy with where I’m at at this point in my life (because you can’t go back to being 20, not that I ever would want to)

If you’ve had a similar experience, share it with me. I’d love to hear about it.

The boundary that changed everything wasn’t the one I expected.

It wasn’t “learn to say no” or “stop people-pleasing” or any of the generic advice you’ve heard before.

It was this: Phone stayed on airplane mode until I’d had time for ME each morning.
That’s it.

One simple boundary that taught me: boundaries aren’t about restriction. They’re about protection.

Protection of:
• Your energy
• Your peace
• Your capacity to show up

But here’s what I discovered - and why I created the Boundaries As Nourishment course:
Generic boundary advice doesn’t work when your patterns have childhood roots.

As a Perfectionist Controller, my boundary struggles look completely different from an Endless Giver’s struggles.

That’s exactly why Boundaries as Nourishment is designed around YOUR specific life and needs.

This isn’t another “just say no” course.
This is archetype-specific boundary work that addresses the ROOT of why boundaries feel so hard for you.

Your overwhelm isn’t about your to-do list.
It’s about patterns that started decades ago.

When I was running my London cafe, I thought my burnout was because I “couldn’t handle it” or wasn’t “strong enough.”

The truth? I was operating as a Perfectionist Controller - a pattern I learnt as a child when mistakes felt dangerous.

That little girl who learnt that control = safety became an adult woman who:
• Couldn’t delegate
• Worked till midnight checking every detail
• Felt physically ill when things were out of my control
• Believed if I didn’t manage everything, it would all fall apart

Sound familiar?

Here’s what I’ve learnt:
Your Endless Giver pattern started when you learnt love was conditional.
Your Boundary-less Hustler pattern started when you learnt worth = achievement.
Your Perfectionist Controller pattern started when you learnt control = safety.
Your Busy Badge Wearer pattern started when you learnt busy = valuable.
Your Future-Focused Postponer pattern started when you learnt you weren’t ready/worthy yet.

These patterns made sense then. They kept you safe, helped you survive, got you love and approval.
But now? They’re keeping you burnt out.

The good news:
Once you understand YOUR specific pattern - where it started and how it shows up today - you can finally heal at the root instead of just managing symptoms.

That’s exactly what the Archetypes of Burnout Quiz helps you discover.
It takes 3 minutes and will completely shift how you understand your overwhelm.

Your overwhelm isn’t random. It’s one of 5 specific patterns.

After working with all kinds of overwhelmed entrepreneurs, I’ve discovered there are **5 distinct burnout archetypes** - each with different childhood origins and healing approaches.

The Endless Giver
”Love is earned through service”
Always putting everyone else first, saying yes when you mean no

The Boundary-less Hustler
”Worth is earned through achievement”
Always “on,” believes productivity equals safety

The Perfectionist Controller
”Safety comes through control”
Carries everything, learned control equals safety

The Busy Badge Wearer
”Visibility equals value”
Wears exhaustion as status, learned chaos equals visibility

The Future-Focused Postponer
”I’m not ready/worthy yet”
Lives in “someday,” learned to wait for worthiness

Which one sounds like you?

After my own journey and supporting others in theirs, I realised something - we are not all in burnout for the same reasons (and the solutions / paths to healing look different as a result)

My need to control every detail looked different from the client who couldn’t say no to anyone.

The woman measuring her worth through productivity needed different healing than the one creating chaos to feel important.

Each pattern has different origins. Different healing paths.

Generic “self-care” doesn’t work because it doesn’t address YOUR specific pattern.

This is why I use the 5 Burnout Archetypes:

💜 The Endless Giver- Gives from empty cup

⚡ The Boundary-less Hustler - Always “on”

🎯 The Perfectionist Controller - Carries everything

🏆 The Busy Badge Wearer - Wears exhaustion as status

⏰ The Future-Focused Postponer - Lives in “someday”

Your burnout has roots. When you understand YOUR pattern, you can work with it instead of against it.

Which one do you resonate with?

Just when you think you’re in a good swing of things…

2021/2022 were quite the years..

➰I’d closed my cafe

➰I’d packed up and left London

➰My dad had passed away in December 2020

I moved to Mexico to start fresh

➰I found out I was pregnant

➰Navigated first trimester hell - nausea + maidenhood grief + intense c*vd

➰I left an abusive relationship with a 1 month old baby girl

It was another (few) layer(s) of undoing of me.

Through it all, I’ve dipped in and out of burnout - emotionally, physically, mentally.

But I keep returning to what I know to be true:

Boundaries. Practices. Tiny moments of intention. Coming home to myself.

Today my daughter is 3, and we are living a slow beautiful life in Bali.

Everything I’ve learnt is why I’m so passionate about sharing this work.

You have the inner wisdom, but the world is loud, and you’re not used to listening within.

Your burnout isn’t random. It has roots that guide you to healing for good.
