For years, I believed I was succeeding, and in fact I was. I held professional roles within institutions, I performed, I achieved, I adapted. From the outside, everything looked fine and I was progressing, but internally, I recognized that I was disconnected. I thought it was burnout, but through my journey into coaching to learn about myself and how to cope with these emotions, I realized that women in transition don't really need motivation, we need emotional recalibration. Through my own journey and through work with women, I see the same pattern. They look fine, everything appears great, but internally they're disconnected. In reality, they're not really burned out, they're just disconnected from themselves. They don't know who they were before they started achieving all these goals and expectations and roles. This whole realization led me to create my own methodology. Today, I work with women who have achieved success but yet feel restless, women who led others but felt disconnected internally, and women who are navigating personal or professional transitions and know that something deeper is asking to change. One of the cultural myths I challenge in my work is the idea that strength comes from endurance, that you have to endure all this pain, or if you say something, you're wrong. I want to show, because of my own transition, that it's not that you're broken or that something's wrong with you, you just need to go back to yourself.
