Our bodies give us signs our brains ignore. Exhaustion is one of them. If you are always exhausted or exhausted easy it could be a sign your nervous system is trying to tell you it’s time for a real change. Not a vacation, or quick break but a real change to how you do things. Drop a ❤️if this resonates with you.

The Energy Compass is a system designed and built for women who love the life they built or are building but also know the burnout cycle impacts their ability to maintain their life and impacts their ability to grow or level up. Based on years of experience I created these archetypes as a way to talk about, understand and manage. If any of these resonate I encourage you to take the quiz to find out your archetype.

Your schedule has you thinking you are fine…
But body is sending signs that you aren’t…
Burnout doesn’t always announce itself as such. Most of the time it grows slowly underneath the surface and then you either crash or starting thinking you need to change jobs, lanes, careers. Or you are taking vacation once a month trying to recharge.
Take the Quiz and find out your burnout archetype!

This morning during my meditation I started having thoughts about “being behind”. By the end of my meditation I remembered my affirmation deck and this is what card stuck out the most to me. I can start and stop as many times as I want or need to. My new goal is to keep going and to build with balance. But these affirmations are perfect to help me keep going. Link in bio!

I just received this message from Henry! He reached out last year and said he wanted to finish his hours to become an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. Some time passed but we started meeting consistently this year and look what he did! He set this goal 5 years ago and life happened but he did it! He finished. Congratulations Henry you did this!!!!
I love coaching and consulting on EMDR.

Out of all of the things I do in my career helping people reach goals they have had to postpone or delay is still the thing that lights me up the most.

Who’s next? If you have a goal to be certified or an approved consultant DM me today and we can get started!!!

You can't be a people pleaser and be authentic at the same time."
I said this to Niiamah Ashong on his podcast today and it hit different.
Because that's exactly what I tried to do back in 2015-2016 when I first went online with my therapy practice. I tried to be authentic AND keep everyone happy.
Spoiler: it didn't work.
I got labeled unprofessional. Problematic. All the negative things you can think of.
But you know what else happened? I became the blueprint for other therapists who wanted to show up as themselves online. I pioneered something that's now standard practice.
The cost of authenticity is real. But the cost of inauthenticity is higher.
We dove deep into this on Outlier's Edge, plus:
Why successful people often feel empty inside
How to recognize when you're shutting yourself down
The importance of keeping pieces of your core self
Why talking in jargon only serves people who don't need your help
If you're building something that matters, this conversation is for you.

Just had the most real conversation with about something nobody talks about enough 👇
The physical cost of building without balance.
I’m talking sweats, panic, exhaustion that goes bone-deep. Been there, lived that, got the body wounds to prove it.
Here’s what I learned: You can’t people-please your way to authentic success. Your body will literally tell you when you’re off track.
Shared my whole journey on Outlier’s Edge - from being called “unprofessional” for showing up as myself online back in 2015 to teaching trauma therapists how to actually help people without burning out.

Had a conversation today with Niiamah Ashong that reminded me why I do this work.
We talked about the game I'm playing now: Build AND Balance.
Because I've been the person who built without balance. Multiple times. And I have the body wounds to tell about it.
Here's what most people don't realize: when you hit that threshold - the money in the bank, the lifestyle, the house, the cars - and you still feel empty inside? That didn't happen overnight.
It happened in all those small moments when you ignored your body's signals. When you chose building over recharging. When you people-pleased instead of staying authentic.
In this episode, I share: • The physical signs of burnout most entrepreneurs ignore • Why your emotional self drives everything you do • How to keep your core self while leveling up • Practical ways to recharge daily (not just on vacation)
If you're a mission-driven entrepreneur who wants to stay in the game, give it a listen. Episode drops Saturday!!!

If your version of “balance” still leaves you exhausted…
it’s not balance.
It’s burnout in disguise.

True balance doesn’t just check boxes.
It gives you breathing room.

As a therapist, I see how often we confuse productivity with peace.

You don’t need to earn your rest.
You need to normalize it.

✨ If you’re feeling the pressure to hold it all together—
this space is for you.
Let’s talk about what real balance can look like.

Drop a “💛” if you’ve been rethinking your definition of balance lately.
