🎤 I had the honor of speaking at the EGBI Chat with Successful Business Owners, a space filled with passion, perseverance, and purpose, this past week.

Special shout-out to my mentor, Hector Muñiz! I appreciate you so much.

I shared my journey as an entrepreneur, mom, and therapist/speaker, opening up about the realities of building a business rooted in mental health and social impact.

From burnout recovery to building systems that support both family and professional life, it was powerful to connect with fellow business owners who are navigating similar paths.

✨ Key takeaways I shared:
-You can build a business that honors your mental health and values.
-Boundaries and support systems aren’t luxuries; they’re necessities.
-Storytelling is a tool for connection, advocacy, and healing.
-Practice speaking and give yourself time
-Have fun using your social media platforms to build your brand

💬 If you’re hosting an event or panel and want a relatable, trauma-informed speaker who bridges wellness and entrepreneurship, I’d love to connect!

Sometimes a day can be filled with whatever you want to do. Today was my day to rest and fill my cup. I hope you have a few quiet moments of rest and peace. ✌🏾 💛

You’re a high achiever.

Constant giver.

Checklist crusher.

But let me ask you this:

✅ Did you make it onto your to-do list today?

Not the deadline.
Not the meeting.
Not the next big idea.

➡️ YOU.

I work with high-performing professionals every day, people who are brilliant at solving problems for others… but often struggle to slow down for themselves.

Here’s the truth:
-You can’t outwork burnout.

⚠️ You can’t lead well from a place of depletion.

💧And you absolutely can’t pour from an empty cup.
✅ Whether it’s 10 minutes of stillness
✅ 30 minutes of movement
✅ Or simply saying “no” without guilt—

Your nervous system, your clarity, and your future self will thank you.

Add yourself back to your own priority list.

You deserve to be more than your productivity. (read that again)

Rest is not a reward. It’s a requirement.

In hustle culture, it’s easy to confuse exhaustion with achievement. However, the truth is that burnout doesn’t build a legacy; rest does.

Rest restores clarity.

Rest protects your nervous system.

Rest allows your creativity to return and your purpose to realign.

As a mental health professional, I see it every day:

High-performing people pushed to their limit, silently suffering because they equate worth with productivity.

Let me say this clearly:
-You are not lazy for slowing down.
-You are not falling behind by honoring your limits.
-You are not weak for needing rest, you are wise.

Rest is a leadership skill.
-Rest is resistance.
-Rest is restoration.

So take the break. Step away. Breathe. Put on do not disturb and rest.

Your body, your business, your brilliance, and your therapist will thank you.

If you find it difficult to rest or feel guilty, it might be an unresolved trauma response. I’ll share more about that later, but for now, rest.

It’s okay to pause, reset and be still and know.

“Our team finally had the conversation we were avoiding.”

“This workshop changed how I lead.”

“I know what it takes to pause and listen to my team now.”

Leadership training isn’t just about improving skills; it’s about transforming how leaders present themselves and their teams.

When leaders are equipped with the tools to communicate clearly, manage stress, and lead with emotional intelligence, teams feel more supported, engaged, and motivated.

The result?

Stronger culture, better retention, and a workplace where people actually want to stay and grow.

If you want to invest in your team and increase your workplace wellness, send me a message.

Hustle culture is a lie.

It tells you that your worth and identity are rooted in how much you offer, work, and do.

I bought into it partly because my culture played a huge role. I never saw my parents rest. They worked and worked because they wanted a better life for me and my brother but what I learned is that in order to be seen or valued I must also work.

And boy did I work. I often had 3 jobs at a time or a minimum of 2 when in college. I worked all day and then into the late hours and always had back up work because work was my distraction.

Rest was uncomfortable for me because it didn’t come naturally. I had to learn how to listen to my body and mind and honor that. If I can do it so can you. If you want to interrupt hustle culture and find a better solution for yourself reach out to me.
