Case Study: The 6-Week Turnaround That Gave This Working Mom Her Life Back

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

A Missing Sock Sent Her Over the Edge — Here’s Why

You’d think a C-Suite executive would break down over a missed deadline or a million-dollar deal gone sideways, right?

Nope.

For my client Elaine*, it was her 8-year-old’s lost sock that sent her completely over the edge.

Yep — a sock.

Turns out, the smallest, most innocent requests can be the final straw when you’re burned out and running on fumes.

Elaine was the definition of “high achieving” — reached the C-Suite in her career, book club queen, mom of two, and, of course, the unofficial crisis manager for everyone’s problems. But she was stuck on the burnout hamster wheel, convinced that if she just powered through, she’d eventually feel better. (Spoiler: she didn’t.)

In just six weeks, we flipped the script. She went from people-pleasing her way to exhaustion to building boundaries that gave her back energy, time, and her sense of humor.

Her story doesn't end with hiring a babysitter for her kids or delegating her to-do list. She focused on something else.

Find yourself after years of putting yourself last

Hello Reader, My "No problem!" response was actually my biggest problem Belinda had it all on paper: a career in finance, two kids, a home full of love.

From unrealistic societal expectations to the invisible mental load, many women wake up one day and realize they’ve lost sight of who they are outside of work, motherhood, and “keeping it all together.” Here’s...

Understanding vs enabling as a people-pleaser
