Do any of these resonate with you?

Do You Feel Stressed, Overwhelmed, or Tired?

  • You are tired of being the responsible one
  • You are the problem-solver and go to person…and you don’t always feel like you have people YOU can go to
  • You work in spaces where you aren’t appreciated or acknowledged
  • You are constantly giving (your time, resources, energy) and your cup is depleted yet your plate is full 
  • You feel bad when you say no so you say yes to things that deplete you

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that you might be feeling overworked,  busy, misused and misunderstood, you aren’t alone. You deserve a space where you get to be loved on, cared for and centered.

Self-care is liberation. You cannot serve others from an empty cup.
