"I used to think burnout meant I needed better boundaries. I was wrong."

Here are 3 hard-won lessons that changed how I relate to working, leading, and living.

​
Burnout wasn’t just about doing too much.
It was about how I was being underneath it all.

And I saw the same thing in one of my clients — a brilliant high-achieving professional, aspiring coach that was secretly running on fumes.

She thought she had a time management issue.
What she really had was a nervous system pattern of disconnection.


Here’s what we both learned:

1. You can’t fix burnout with the mindset that caused it.​
More systems won’t help if your worth is still tied to output.
We had to interrupt the internal script: “I have to earn my rest.”

2. Rest doesn’t work if your body still feels unsafe.​
She took breaks — and still felt depleted.
Until we addressed the survival pattern underneath, rest wasn’t restorative. Just another thing to manage.

3. The real healing came from rhythm, not rules.​
Burnout recovery didn’t come from strict routines.
It came from learning to listen to the body's real pace.
Letting a new rhythm emerge — one based on devotion, not duty.


I call this process The Slow Repattern™.​
It’s not self-care.
It’s a nervous system-led shift in how you exist inside your work.

And it changed everything.

If this speaks to you, I have a free masterclass on exactly this.
