Why do feel it’s important work?
Women are burning out at their jobs –
whether they are working in a corporate
environment or running their own
businesses. I want to help them to
embrace taking care of themselves, and
their teams, so that they have quality of
life inside of their business by
incorporating self-care essentials meant to
support them. I truly believe that quality of
life should not just be a personal endeavor
but a professional one as well. My mission
is to educate women about the signs of
burnout so that they can avoid it and/or
course correct.
Have you experienced burnout yourself?
Sure. A big reason for why I do what I do
is because I myself was facing burnout
and lived through burnout many times
over in my corporate career as a Legal
Assistant/Paralegal. It finally came to a
head
for me back in 2017 when I turned to my
husband and told him that if we didn’t
make some lifestyle changes that I might
not be here the following year to talk
about it. I felt I was headed for a heart
attack.
We made the decision to move from
California to Las Vegas. I gave my fulltime job two weeks’ notice, and then I
worked out with them to keep me on as
an independent contractor which I have
been doing for the past six years. This
opened up my time for me, something I
felt a slave to for so long. I went from
working 15-16 hour days to a few hours a
day supporting them and then I went on a
self-development journey to heal parts of
myself that needed healing which led me
into coaching, and ultimately to what I am
doing today.
