In my “previous life”, I was an unhappy 9-5er working as a Head of Finance, dragging myself out of bed every day for people I didn't choose to be around, and capped income when I knew my potential was so much more. I knew my strengths. I knew my superpowers. And I knew I was being wasted.

You know that feeling when you can see exactly what needs to change… but no one’s asking you? I'd sit in meetings thinking "I could fix this in 10 mins". On paper, I was Head of Finance, but in reality I felt invisible.

I Thought I’d Made It

I "thought" I'd created success, I'd done everything right, achieved what most people could only dream of. On paper "I'd made it" but then I hit severe burnout, I literally crashed and burned and my body just said NO. I couldn't move, I couldn't even speak, I just lay there staring at the ceiling thinking "how did I let it get this far?".

And if you’re honest… you’ve ignored your own signals too, haven’t you? The tight chest. The dread of client calls. The headaches you just call “normal”.

When My Body Said No

I'd ignored everything my body was trying to tell me for months, my nervous system was shot to pieces. And so I started throwing money at everything… Supplements, weekly massages, chiropractor sessions, self-care weekends; but I was trying to soothe a system that was screaming because I was living out of alignment. That’s the difference no one talks about.

Burnout isn’t always about working too many hours. Sometimes it’s about building a life that isn’t actually yours.

I stopped the people-pleasing, the perfectionism, the saying "yes" to everyone and thought I was fixed...

…Until two years later, I found myself burned out once again. And I didn’t see it coming.

Burnout 2.0

You see, burnout isn’t just physical. It can be emotional too. I found myself months in a new Finance role, but this time I was being micromanaged, ignored for my expertise, and I wasn't enjoying Finance any longer.

The Moment Everything Shifted

And then one day, I remember sitting at my desk after a draining workday, scrolling mindlessly on Instagram, and seeing someone talk about how they had left their job to start their coaching business. I felt something deep in my gut, this mix of jealousy, curiosity, and an undeniable knowing that I was meant for more. But instead of acting on it, I shut my phone off and pushed the thought away. Who was I to think I could do that?

When Human Design found me

I'd learned about Human Design during my first burnout recovery, from those pesky instagram ads, yeah you know the ones. I found myself immediately running my chart and as I read the words of a 'Energy Type' "You don't have unlimited energy and are prone to burnout"... Those words punched me in the stomach, I felt so seen... For the first time in my life, I wasn’t weak or lazy, I was just designed differently.

And if you’ve ever felt like you can see what everyone else can’t, but you’re the one who ends up exhausted… you’ll understand exactly what that felt like.

Admittedly, whilst I kept learning and consuming everything I knew about Human Design, I knew I wasn't fully embodying it BUT, what I did realise was how I'd fallen into burnout AGAIN... the bitterness i'd been feeling wasn't random, it was screaming misalignment.

And that’s what I'm seeing so many women in business doing right now.

They’ve “done the mindset work.” They’ve bought the courses. They’ve hired the (multiple) business coaches but they’re still building from someone else’s blueprint because they don't trust themselves.

I knew deep down I had to help more women through this journey and so I finally made the decision to leave the stability and safety of my 9-5 job, and become self-employed. I rebuilt my identity, I rebuilt how I make decisions, I rebuilt how I lead, I rebuilt how I define success.

And that’s where my Signature Inner Queen Method was born, from lived experience, the trials and errors that I've been through and from building my own authority in my business first.

More than likely, you’ve already built the business but you still feel like you’re performing. Still second-guessing yourself. Still attracting clients who drain you instead of expand you.

And have you ever considered… you’re not being micromanaged by a boss anymore - you’re being micromanaged by the noise online?

I know you're already successful with clients in your calendar. Maybe you’ve even built something impressive and people look at your life and think you’ve "nailed it". But behind closed doors you’re tired. You’re questioning every move you make. You’re wondering why it still doesn’t feel the way you thought it would when you started your business.

Because when you’re in your authority, expansion becomes inevitable - not forced.

So my queen, I see you because I was you. Successful. Capable. And quietly exhausted.

Until I decided I was done abandoning myself for success. And I started building success that honoured me back.
