End-of-year fatigue has a way of making people snap at the ones they love.

Real resilience isn’t muscling through. It is knowing what’s yours to carry, what you can influence, and what you must let go.

In my latest post I break down the Circle of Control and Circle of Influence in plain English, with simple ways to regulate when life feels too much. Small resets you can do between meetings, before school pickup, or after that tense WhatsApp.

If you’re at the point where tiny things tip you over, this will help you take back control, one action at a time.

When someone once told me, “You’re so resilient,” they meant it as a compliment.
I took it as a warning.

Because when people start praising your resilience, it’s usually when you’ve been holding everything together for far too long.

We’ve glamorised resilience.
We hand out gold stars for pushing through exhaustion, keeping it together, and showing up when there’s nothing left in the tank.
But resilience without rest isn’t strength.
It’s survival mode in disguise.

In my latest blog, I unpack what most people get wrong about resilience:
🧠 Why even the most self-aware leaders still burn out
📉 What the research actually says about resilience as a buffer (not a shield)
💼 The hidden workplace factors that quietly drain capacity
🔄 And the 4-step framework — Review → Reflect → Realign → Reset — to rebuild sustainable energy

If you’ve been feeling like your version of “strong” is running on fumes, this one’s for you.

I used to hate it when people told me to “be more resilient.”
Honestly? I wanted to scream, or quietly vomit in my mouth.

Because when you’re barely keeping it together, there’s nothing left in the tank to be more of anything.

That word, resilience, was like a swear word for me!
It became code for pushing through exhaustion, pretending everything was fine, and holding it all together while I was quietly falling apart.

As Manson puts it:
“Resilience means growing through adversity, not bouncing back to who you were, but forward into who you’re becoming.”

That line stuck with me, because resilience isn’t about endurance.
It’s about evolution.

And that’s exactly what I unpacked in my latest blog:
Rethinking Resilience for Founders: What We’ve Been Getting Wrong.

In it, I break down the five biggest myths that keep founders and leaders stuck in burnout cycles:
🧠 Resilience Is Just Toughness
💪 Resilience Is Something You’re Born With
↩️ Resilience Means Bouncing Back
🤝 Resilience Is Doing It Alone
🌿 Resilience Means Never Breaking

Each one keeps us running harder instead of wiser.

If you’re a founder, manager, or small-business leader who feels like your energy’s on empty, this one’s for you.

Finish the Year Steady, Not Shattered

Let’s be honest.
You’re not burnt out yet, but you’re closer than you’d like to admit.

You’ve been running on caffeine and commitment since February,
and now your body’s whispering what your brain’s been ignoring.

I’ve been there.
Twice.
And I know how quickly “just one more push” turns into a crash you didn’t see coming.

That’s why I created a 4-week reset designed to help you go from exhausted to clear, calm, and back in control.
You’ll start feeling better by week 3.

It’s low cost, gentle, and surprisingly powerful.
Limited spaces only.

Three quiet signs you are stuck in survival mode,
↳ You wake tired, even after sleep
↳ Your brain feels full, yet you cannot switch off
↳ You are holding everything together, but feel yourself unravelling inside

I have been there, twice. Now I help founders and professionals reset before collapse and work with their energy system, not against it.

In 4 weeks you will,
• Map your real energy drains
• Build two boundaries you can actually keep
• Create a weekly rhythm that protects your focus and your peace

Choose your format,
• Resilience Collective, small group, R1000 for 4 weeks, R250 per session

If you are pushing through exhaustion and quietly unravelling by 3 pm, this is your sign to reset before collapse.

September gets loud. Q4 is coming, inboxes multiply, small fires everywhere. You are leading, parenting, shipping, smiling on Zoom, and then wondering why your chest is tight at night. You are not broken, you are overloaded. We can fix the load.

Resilience Collective is my four week small group for founders who want calm, capacity, and consistent results without a big programme or a perfect routine.

What we do together
↳ Slow your system so your brain stops hunting urgency
↳ Make evenings softer, so sleep and focus start to come back
↳ Choose tiny, human steps that you can keep on a real Tuesday

By the beginning of Week 3 most people feel noticeably calmer. The spirals quieten, decisions get cleaner, evenings stop swallowing you.

What you get
↳ 4 live group sessions, 60 minutes, founders only
↳ Weekly reflection and mindset prompts, simple and doable
↳ Replays for 7 days in case life is lifing
↳ Pilot price R1000, 10 seats only

When
↳ Starts Wed 24 Sept, 7 pm SAST
↳ Doors close Tue 23 Sept, 7 pm SAST

Who this is for
↳ Your brain feels full, everything feels urgent, afternoons empty you out
↳ You want a soft reset that fits your life, not hustle theatre

If you want to finish the year steady, not shredded, join us.
