🔥 From burnout to being in love with my work again 🥰

22d • That's what I'm talking about.

A few years ago, I was a “successful” therapist on paper.

Full caseload.30–35 clients a week during COVID. Good income.

And completely fried.

What hurt the most wasn’t the work — it was realizing how little capacity I had left for my own life.

During lockdown, my daughter was struggling in high school. I thought she was “self-regulating.”In reality, she was quietly falling apart.

I was so busy helping strangers manage their nervous systems that I didn’t see how depleted my own had become.

That moment forced an honest question:What am I actually prioritizing — and at what cost?

The answer wasn’t “quit helping.”It was change how I help.

I stepped back from traditional overwork.I learned how to regulate my own system first.And I began building an educational space where I could support therapists without burning myself out in the process.

Now I work differently.With more presence.More energy.And way more love for what I do.

If you’re a therapist who knows something has to change — but doesn’t want to lose yourself (or your impact) in the process…

Comment YES and I’ll send you the details 🌀
