Changing Your Relationship With Yourself
Apr 23, 2025
Ever have that ache to escape the "hustle"? Sometimes we think we are escaping the outside pressures when really we have to start inside.
My biggest blunder?
Believing entrepreneurship would automatically solve my burnout problem was my greatest business misstep.
After 21 years in corporate America, I jumped ship thinking "working for myself" would create better balance and "Finally, freedom from the hustle"! But guess what?.... I simply carried my workaholic tendencies into my consulting business, then into my design business. Different business card, same exhausting patterns. My wake-up call came in November 2020 with three devastating words: "You have cancer."
For the first time in my adult life, I couldn't outrun, outwork or out-hustle my circumstances. In that forced stillness, I discovered something profound—I had no idea who I was without what I call my old 4Ps: Perfecting, Performing, Pleasing, and Proving.
The biggest lesson?
Changing your business model doesn't fix burnout – changing your relationship with yourself does. This revelation became my heart's work and the foundation of Tools for LYFE™, where we help heart-centered entrepreneurs transform both their inner and outer landscapes. We create custom tools that help you put yourself out there authentically—no more hiding, no more dimming your light to fit someone else's expectations.
I get passionate about creating tools for your inner journey alongside custom-designed materials for your business. When these worlds integrate, something magical happens—your work becomes an authentic expression of who you are, not just what you do.
Sometimes the biggest business blunder is thinking success comes from working harder, when it actually comes from working healthier—and authentically as yourself.
