The years of striving and pushing caught up with me & I burnt out

I began to flee my desk to hide in the bathroom for the daily panic attacks I tried to keep at bay. I'd bolt out of the office the second I could, only to collapse onto the subway holding in my tears until I got home. One day, on my ride home, I woke up. I realized that this path I was on was not my path... and that if I kept pushing through, I would miss my stop - I'd miss my chance to choose again. To choose my path. 

I left behind the safe (albeit creatively stifling) corporate marketing job to start my own copywriting business. I began to work with clients I really believed in, and felt good about working with (something that had been missing in my corporate life). I had the honour of writing for over 40 personal brands across more than 15 industries through my business, and I even began mentoring other copywriters and offering mindset coaching to other business owners! I was doing work I felt good about, but I was still burning myself out over and over again. 

It was time to get to know myself again 

I always tell my clients the same thing, but let me repeat it here: healing isn't linear. 

I thought that I had healed the wounds and patterns that had led me to burn out from my corporate career when I started my own business. I thought that working for myself and being in charge of my own schedule would be enough for me to finally prioritize my mental health and natural energetic capacity. 

But it turns out I hadn't fully healed that belief that I had to keep striving and doing to be enough - oomph, that hit a bit hard? I know my love, I know - it's a painful realization to make, but an important one. Even after years of therapy and developing significant progress on my own sense of self-worth, I wasn't giving myself the permission to really be who I was, at my own pace. 

Until I no longer had a choice but to listen, at last, to all those yearnings in my soul. 

The wake up call that shook my world

My wake-up call came in the form of surviving a fatal fire in which I lost (almost) everything. That experience, though traumatic, awakened a new me - a me who decided that there was no longer any time to waste... and that it was time to pursue my purpose. 

To get comfortable with being uncomfortable and vulnerable, because that's what makes others feel seen. To hold deep space because that's what others really need to feel heard. I realized that those early whispers of my soul's purpose were telling me that I was meant to be here to help others discover their own sense of purpose and fulfillment in life... This awakened my role as a Soul's Purpose coach. 

Even though I knew my human design, I wasn't living it

Even though I'd learn about my human design type as a Projector in the early days of running my own copywriting business, and felt so seen by what I'd learned, I wasn't really living it. While I'd implemented some of the basics, it wasn't until I found myself burning out over and over again that I decided to fully own and trust my design as a bit of an 'experiment.' 

I felt so seen by everything I learned about being a Projector, but I struggled to fully trust it. You see, maybe like you, I was a bit skeptical about how a spiritual tool like Human Design could really help me stop burning out and doubting myself. Still, I figured , what do I have to lose? The yo-yo relationship with burnout was no longer serving me, so I decided to give it a try, not just in my personal life, but in all areas of my life, including my business. 

When I began to really embody my human design type, strategy and authority, I began to create evidence that I could live and create from this place. The more I embodied my design, the more aligned invitations I received to share my knowledge and expertise with others. 

In a moment of pure fate, I won a giveaway for a Human Design for Coaches program that I'd had my eye on for over a year. I took the invitation in stride, completed the program and began offering human design readings to creative souls around the world. 

The more I leaned into utilizing the tool of human design in my work, the more effortless it became for both myself and my clients to create individualized, sustainable results. 

Today, I ground all my coaching in human design as it allows me to meet you at an individual, soul level. To offer tools and insights that will actually work for you. My coaching style blends together the world of discovering your soul's purpose, living life on your terms, and confidently sharing your gifts with the world, all grounded in your human design.
