Hello Reader,

I get burned out too!

I want to share something real with you today. You know I spend my days helping women break through burnout, find clarity, and step into the next level of their leadership. But recently, I’ve had to take my own medicine.

Between my move to Oklahoma, heavier demands at my corporate role as I developed a full leadership development program, the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet, and the never-ending push to “keep creating,” I found myself completely drained. Stuck. Exhausted. Burned out.

So, I did something that felt scary at first: I took my foot off the pedal. I let myself step back. I traded constant producing for quiet time. I caught up on shows I had been saving, cooked thoughtful meals, and focused on getting my health back in order. And you know what? That space gave me clarity.

What's your word?

I like to choose words each season of my life. For the past few years, my word has been courage. I took risks and leaps, I stretched, and I grew in ways I could not have imagined. In my new chapter, my word is rooted. Because courage gave me wings, but now it is time to plant myself firmly. To grow deeper instead of wider. To build strength from the ground up so I can have my greatest comeback yet.

If you have been feeling stuck, I want you to know first of all, you are not alone. It is okay to pause. Growth does not always look like racing ahead. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop, breathe, and give yourself permission to find yourself again.

Here are a few simple ways I’ve been recharging and rooting myself again:

1. Quiet time daily - even 10 minutes to sit without distractions.
2. Well-thought-out meals - that nourish instead of deplete.
3. Movement I enjoy – I started walking (a lot) in May, and stretching, instead of forcing intensity, which just caused me to give up before I saw any results.
4. Screen-free evenings a couple of times a week for deeper rest. I started a few crafts, and let my mind wander about what comes next.

And here is the exciting part: taking this pause has helped me create some things I know you will love. Over the next few months, I will be sharing new resources, fresh ways to think about your career, and opportunities to connect more deeply. I cannot wait to bring you along.

In the meantime, I would love to hear from you. If you chose a word for your season right now, what would it be?

Cheering you on,
