Are you stuck in an endless pattern? Sonia’s journey from breakdown to breakthrough.

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it" -Albert Einstein

There is nothing women can’t do.

We lead, love, nurture, nourish, break, bleed, rebuild, create, cultivate, birth, heal, support, balance, make everything better, AND we do all this without batting an eyelash.

We carry most of the mental load in our partnerships, which are the additional responsibilities we have that are often invisible to the eye.  Masterfully multi-tasking to make sure everyone is happy in all domains of our life, but our innate gifts as human givers can leave us drained, exhausted, frustrated, and on an endless cycle, preventing us from being the fullest and brightest expression of ourselves.

My client Sonia is a terrific example of the total depletion that can result from this cycle and the soul-based empowerment that comes from reclaiming her best self.

Sonia, like so many women, skillfully balances leading her family with a full-time career, hers in healthcare.

She came to me feeling hollow and hopeless. Like most frontline workers, the pandemic left her completely burned out and traumatized. In full blown survival mode, her days were compartmentalized into self-designated shifts:

• First shift: get her girls up and out for their day. Her goal was to be present and loving in those sacred waking hours and not snap or lash out when they would do what children often do – push her buttons.

• Second shift: her professional role as nurse practitioner where she gave and gave all of herself day in and out, often logging consecutive 12–15-hour days.

• Third shift: the hardest one, back from work and despite the deep fatigue and exhaustion, numbing herself with alcohol and poor food choices had become habits.

Her marriage was falling apart even though her husband was supportive and loving. She was unable to connect with him because she was so disconnected from herself.

She felt like she was crawling out of her skin when she was not at work because in the stillness, she would feel the overwhelm and despair of her hamster wheel life that never stopped.

Her stress and lifestyle caused physical symptoms such as weight gain, health issues, hair loss, and emotional and mental instability.

Her husband’s ultimatum to either leave her job or end their marriage was her tipping point. He said he felt taken for granted, her daughters were afraid of her, and she was not a good role model.

OUCH!

But she knew he was right.

Desperate to reclaim her life, we began by defining Sonia’s values and goals. We dissected her behavior patterns, limiting beliefs, boundaries, and saboteurs. Our work included diving deep into the root cause of what kept her on the hamster wheel that was making her sick. Utilizing pillars of mental and emotional fitness we put tools in her toolbox, built awareness around who and what energized her and depleted her, and examined where she could delegate responsibilities. We began a deep journey into feminine embodiment work that brought the walls she built around her heart down so she could feel again and invite sensuality and connection back into her marriage.

Today, Sonia is living life with a vibrancy that is felt and noticed by those around her. She kept her job and created a different relationship with it. Most importantly, she feels “more like herself only new and improved” (Sonia’s words, not mine).

Just like Sonia’s story, I assure you there is a better way.

I have supported hundreds of women to find their way to inspired living and a life Well Adorned, reconnecting with a part of themselves that they have lost or disconnected from in the hustle of their lives. I get the privilege to be a midwife for them to birth a better version of themselves. Witnessing the journey of a woman remembering who she was before she became everything to everyone and tapping back into her essence is an honor and privilege.

Does Sonia’s story resonate with you?

Are you giving and giving until there is nothing left to give?

Has the very thing that once brought you satisfaction and a sense of purpose now the thing that drains you?

If so, let’s talk and see how we can change the narrative.
