I’m a coach and nurturer at heart and I’m determined to help you create a career/life that actually feels good 🙌🏼

I’ve been through all the highs and lows of a demanding career. I experienced some big wins and some heavy moments of burn out. I didn’t know that you could have “success” without anxiety attached to it.

My life was so out of balance that my only option was to make some drastic changes. I dug deep, did the work and my life has become more intentional and fulfilling because of it. Now I help others do the same 🤍

It’s finally here! 🥳

After years of tossing this idea around, I finally made it happen. I hope you guys will continue on this journey with me by tuning in every week.

I’m going to talk all things executive self mastery which includes…

-the pressure of high level execution
-impactful leadership and influencing culture
-navigating relationships
-creating more abundance
-work/life integration
-turning burnout into an asset

And soo much more! Trust me when I say that this journey of self mastery never ends for me.

I am forever committed to growth, love and freedom and my mission is to help people find this within themselves too.

Please go have a listen wherever you listen to your podcasts! Link is also in my bio 🎙️

P.S Research shows that high performers are more likely to listen to podcasts than any other demographic because they want to always educate themselves (so make sure you tune in 😉) by @higheralignmentconsulting

I’m driven by the ability to help people suffer less in life! I’ve lived the high performer life. You know…the one where you attach your self worth to your work and continue to burnout in the process 🫠

A control freak, perfectionist and constantly worried about whether I was doing enough…Anyone else relate to this??

Pair this with a desire to continue performing at a high level and I was burning myself out. The fatigue hit me at a point where I realized if I didn’t start making a change, my current level of performance would plummet and so would my quality life😞

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself and not very present in life, I’ve been there and I get it! But I’m here to let you know that you can be a high performing executive that doesn’t burnout and I can show you just how!

Drop a ✋🏼in the comments if you can relate

1. I removed my phone from my bedroom and got an actual alarm clock.
No staring at it before bed. No reaching for it the second I wake up.

2. I gave myself at least 20 minutes in the morning before touching my phone.
No emails. No news. No scrolling.

3. I stopped skipping lunch or eating at my desk.
I’d have an actual nourishing meal away from my computer.

4. I took a 10-minute walk after work before walking into my house.
Gave myself a minute to come down from work mode before switching into partner/relax mode.

5. I cut down the number of high intensity workouts I was doing and swapped some of them for walking.
Just temporarily until my nervous system had more capacity.

None of this is revolutionary…that’s kind of the point.

When you’re already exhausted, you probably don’t need a complete life overhaul.

You need fewer things keeping your system in go mode and more small moments throughout your day where nothing is being asked of you.

So if you’re wondering whether what you’re experiencing is just everyday stress or something more, comment RESTORE below and I’ll send you my free burnout assessment so you can see where you’re at. by @higheralignmentconsulting

I used to also feel guilty because I thought I should be grateful for this life but I was struggling to genuinely feel that way.

When I decided to stop constantly pushing through and slow down just enough so I could actually tune into what my body needed, everything started to change. I realized it was okay to want something different for my life, I just had to give myself permission to do it.

Anyone else feeling stuck in this space? by @higheralignmentconsulting

Looking back, I really can’t believe how long I normalized the dysfunction in my body for 😩

It was like I was so busy and dysregulated that the idea of supporting my body sounded like an interruption to my “productivity”

Anyone else ever feel like they don’t have time to look after themselves? by @higheralignmentconsulting

Fight or flight= “I need to do something about this NOW”

Freeze= “I’m going to avoid this altogether”

Regulated= “I can pause before I respond”

One situation can have 3 different responses based on what state your nervous system is in.

Which state do you switch into when you’re stressed? by @higheralignmentconsulting

1. Everything felt way more urgent than it actually was. An email would come in and I felt like I had to respond RIGHT NOW. Someone needed something and suddenly it was the most important thing on my list. I had a really hard time just letting things wait.

2. I needed SO much alone time after work. I could be around people all day and seem completely fine, but by the time I got home I did not want anyone asking me a question, needing anything from me or honestly even talking to me lol.

3. The smallest decisions started feeling exhausting. I could make big decisions at work all day long, but then someone would ask what I wanted for dinner and I genuinely could not tell you. Just pick something. I do not care 😂

4. I had zero tolerance for being interrupted. Someone could ask me a completely normal question while I was trying to get something done and I could literally feel the irritation shoot through my body. Like whyyyy are you talking to me right now?! 😫

5. I was always waiting for the next chance to finally recover. I would obsess about Friday or going on vacation. Except I would rest, come back…and within a few days I already felt like I needed another one.

The problem is when you have so much to take care of it’s REALLY easy to brush all of this off as just being part of the deal.

Until feeling like this becomes so normal that you forget you’re not actually supposed to feel this way all the time.

Recognizing what you’ve normalized is the first step to building a life where you can still be ambitious AND actually have the capacity to enjoy what you’ve worked so hard for.

If you’re a high achiever and not sure whether you’re actually burnt out or just tired, comment RESTORE and I’ll send you my free 2-minute burnout quiz to help you figure out where you’re at and what you need to start feeling better. by @higheralignmentconsulting

Break ups, burnout, quitting jobs… every time I was about to level up.. something broke down first. Whether it be my relationship, my mental state or even just my happiness.

But every time I came out on the other side even better because I took it as a sign that I needed to change the way I was doing things instead of failure.

100 episodes....and instead of immediately asking myself, “Okay, what’s next?” I’m actually letting myself take this one in 🥹

I’ve spent a lot of my life reaching the goal, giving myself five minutes to feel good about it… and then moving the goalpost.

I don’t want to do that anymore.

Sometimes growth is actually letting yourself register how far you’ve already come.

WE HIT 100 EPISODES!! 🥹🎉

And I didn’t get here by being in a growth season the entire time.

There were seasons I pushed...seasons I maintained...and seasons I had to pull back and heal.

I think that’s a big reason I’m still here.

Long-term success isn’t about running the marathon all the time. It’s knowing what season you’re in and actually honoring it.

I used to do this at Mercedes all the time too. Holding someone accountable for something they did but the minute they showed any signs of stress I’d just take it back (even though it wasn’t mine to own or I had 0 capacity)

I thought I was being flexible but I was really just abandoning myself to ease the situation.

Can anyone else relate? by @higheralignmentconsulting
