My clients are burned-out working women, namely healthcare providers. It makes sense that many reach out when they're at their lowest point professionally and emotionally. Like the Chumbawamba song, they're "knocked down" and don't know how to get back up again. They've been hit hard because of a job loss, the disappointment of a new job not being what it seemed, a boss who's awful, or just emotional burnout from years of prioritizing everyone besides themselves.
I hear the hopelessness and despair in their voices on that first call. They're knocked down and convinced they'll never bounce back. They'll never get hired again, they'll never find purpose in their career, and they'll never feel valued at their work.
Here's what I tell them and I invite you to listen along. If you'd like a private session with me, check out my website).
