Shownotes

You've got the career, the title, maybe the income you worked for. So why does success feel like you're constantly running on empty?

If you're burned out behind closed doors while everyone else sees you "having it all," this quick journaling session is for you. I'm walking you through 4 prompts that help you see the gap between how your life looks and how it actually feels—so you can finally figure out what needs to change.

Grab your journal and work through:

  • The real disconnect between your external success and internal reality
  • What you're actually afraid people will think if you admit you're struggling
  • Your automatic response when overwhelm hits (and where else it's sabotaging you)
  • What the aligned, peaceful version of you would do differently starting today

This episode is for you if:

  • You're successful on paper but constantly exhausted
  • You snap at your kids even though you don't want to
  • You keep thinking "this isn't what I worked so hard for"
  • You're barely present at home or at work
  • You want to stop just surviving your success
