Being tired doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

Being strong ain’t the flex you think it is when your heart stays heavy and your smile is just for show.
�That “I got it” energy is wearing you out.

We created this Fireside Chat for women 40+ who are feeling overstimulated in rooms that feel performative and surrounded by people who don’t see them. It can be exhausting, right?

It’s not flashy.
It’s not fluffy.
There’s no attire requirement LOL.
It’s just you and others in need of the same thing you need. Simplicity.

Tag a woman who deserves to be in this room with you. We have a few slots left.

We’re excited to sit with you on Thursday, August 7th! Link for more info in the bio.

It’s like your life makes sense on paper but still feels empty when you sit with it…

If you are a 40+ year old woman in need of community join us for our Fireside Chat to restore alignment, simplicity and harmony.

Not goals. Not titles. Not achievements.

Just the stuff underneath it all the feelings that never had space, the questions we stopped asking, the sisterhood we stopped trusting.

Reserve your spot now and get ready to unwind!

I was talking to a woman not long ago who said, “I feel like I’m surrounded by people… and still alone.”

That hit me.
So many women over 40 are silently carrying disconnection. Not because we aren’t lovable. But because it’s hard to know where we fit anymore.

That’s why Tina and I created The Relationship Spectrum. And we’re starting with a Fireside Chat…

If you are 40+ and this speaks to you, that’s probably because you’re ready to stop carrying it all alone.

Join us. Let’s talk. Let’s rest. Let’s reset.

Some of y’all are out here in survival mode and still showing up like everything’s cute…

There is no shame in surviving. You ain’t gotta look like what you goin through.

But stop pretending it’s not happening…That’s gonna break you down even faster…

Too many people wait until they’ve hit rock bottom to get help.

Therapy is not just what you activate when a crisis hits. Even though you will feel it brewing for weeks, months and years but won’t address the build up. It’s for maintenance, growth, and self-discovery too.

You don’t have to stay in struggle mode nor wait for things to fall apart. You deserve the support now.

Some of y’all are waiting on a full-blown breakdown before you give yourself permission to get help.

You feel off. You ain’t sleeping right. You’re snapping at people you love. And deep down, you know you need to talk to somebody.

This is your tap on the shoulder.
You don’t need a crisis to be worthy of care.

We see you. We got you. You don’t need to be perfect to pull up and start the work.

See you soon!

Just ‘cause you get stuff done… doesn’t mean you’re doing well.

Some of the most emotionally exhausted people are out here high-functioning and secretly falling apart.

You just smilin. Showin up and performing. 🙄 Then the lights go off and the house gets quiet…and then you cry because you’re drained.

Let’s stop acting like your productivity makes you immune to pain. 🤦🏾‍♀️

At Insights Therapeutic Services, we work with folks who look like they’ve got it all together… and still need a soft place to land and a safe place to be raw.

Come talk to somebody who sees past the performance. 🔗 is in the bio.

They can mimic each other, but the roots and the remedies are different.

Burnout is:
* Situational - it’s usually tied to something external like being overbooked.
* Energy-based - you feel exhausted, drained, and checked out, but still have moments of “you” when you’re away from the stressor.
* Fixable with rest - a “do nothing” vacation or break can help change your perspective.
* Mostly about output - you know you’ve said “yes” way too much to too many people, places and things.

Burnout sounds like:
* “I’m just tired of being everything for everyone.”
* “If I could get away from all this, I think I’d feel better.”

**********************
Depression is:
* Internal and persistent - it lingers no matter what’s going on around you. It’s just there and it’s heavy!
* Mood-based - it’s intrusive! It’s IN your thoughts, emotions, body, and identity. You feel numb, hopeless, or like you’ve lost yourself.
* Rest doesn’t fix it - even if life slows down, you still feel low, heavy, and disconnected.
* Deeper than exhaustion - you might feel worthless, unmotivated, and your confidence is trash.
Depression sounds like:
* “I don’t know who I am anymore.”
* “I just wanna be left alone.”
* “Nothing matters.”

This is why you can’t figure out which it is…they mimic one another. You likely experience this with both:
* Fatigue
* Mental fog
* Detachment
* Poor sleep
* Low motivation

HOWEVER 🤔
Burnout is usually about “too much.” Depression is usually about “not enough.”
Not enough joy.
Not enough connection.
Not enough reason.

Quick Gut Check:
Ask yourself this question…
>>> If you took some weeks off with no responsibilities, would you feel better?”
* If yes → likely burnout.
* If no → could be depression.

Let us know when we can help you get back to living and thriving!

Let’s talk about it. 🤔

You keep telling yourself, “We used to be so good together.”
And you’re right. In the beginning, it felt just right.
The chemistry was fire.
They called. They showed up.
They saw you. Wanted you. Listened.

But now? You’re in the same relationship… with a different person.
And you’re suffering because you keep trying to resuscitate the version of them that no longer exists.

You’re not in love with who they are now, you’re in love with the memory.
The potential.
THE HOPE.
The way they used to touch you, look at you, talk to you like you mattered.

And every time they disappoint you, hurt you, ignore your needs*****You reach back in your mental archives and whisper to yourself, “But they used to…”

That’s how people stay stuck for years.
Not because it’s still good, but because it was.

Here’s the truth:
The beginning was probably real BUT it wasn’t sustainable.
They gave you what they had in the moment…
But they never had the emotional range, the maturity, or the consistency to maintain it.

Now here you are exhausted!
Fighting for a connection that really exists in YOUR memory.
Trying to love someone through YOUR attachment, not through reality.

So here’s the question:
If they showed up today as they are right now, would you even choose them?
Would you still say yes if you met them like this?

Because if your love is based on “who they used to be,”
You’re not building a relationship 🥴you’re dragging a co**se.

Love shouldn’t feel like grief.
Like waiting.
Like rewriting history just to cope.

Let them go or let the illusion go.
But don’t keep breaking your own heart just to hold onto something that’s already left the building.

No shame No judgement if this hit home for you ~ you already know it’s time for a different kind of conversation.

We say we want a simple life…But we keep signing up for everything.

You want peace, but you’re booked, busy, burned out and barely breathing.

Got your phone ringing, your calendar tight, and your soul somewhere in the corner like, “Damn… can we just sit down for a second?”

You said you wanted quiet but you just signed up for two more events, a situationship, a new collaboration, a new side hustle, and a family trip you don’t even wanna go on.

Some are addicted to being needed. To proving something. To staying in motion. Even when the motion don’t make sense.

We whisper about rest but scream “yes” to every opportunity.

What does a simple life actually look like to you and are you even available for it?
 
So let’s talk…
What’s your definition of simple? And what will you sacrifice so you can actually live it?
