From Burnout to Resilience Coaching
I didn’t start out as a resilience coach. Instead, I began as someone who was driven, ambitious, and constantly “on.” Eventually, I found myself closer to burnout than I’d ever imagined.
Like many high‑achievers, I believed that pushing harder, saying yes to everything, and never slowing down was the price of success. Over time, this mindset left me exhausted, stressed, and disconnected from the joy I once felt in my work. Then, when I began to change my mindset, everything shifted.
Through NLP, coaching and deep self‑reflection, I learned how to:
- Recognise the beliefs that were keeping me stuck.
- Set boundaries without guilt.
- Protect my energy instead of depleting it.
As a result, that personal transformation inspired me to become a resilience and mindset coach for professionals who don’t want to choose between success and wellbeing.
Not the polished version, but the real one
This is the story filled with detours, heartbreaks, and quiet triumphs. Above all, it is the one that taught me how to change my mindset, lower stress levels, and ultimately prevent burnout by building lasting, compassionate resilience.
When I first came to the UK, I wasn’t just looking for a job. In fact, I was searching for purpose to do meaningful work, think critically, and make a real impact. Defence intelligence felt like the right fit. After university, I spent 14 years as an Intelligence Information Consultant, working in high‑pressure environments and closing complex international deals built on trust, precision, and discretion.
For years, I ran on adrenaline in the fast‑paced world of defence sales. Constant travel, high‑stakes negotiations, and relentless ambition were my norm until I realised I was trading presence for progress.
While closing a deal in Paris, I missed my son’s first day at nursery. At the same time, I was going through IVF, still pushing hard as the “perfect” wife and professional. That became a wake‑up call.
My success had come at the cost of balance. I chose to shift my mindset, redefine my boundaries, and rebrand myself with purpose.
That, right there, is power.
You can leave a lasting impact by owning the room as your authentic self with charisma, resilience, and confidence.
Shift My Mindset to Prevent Burnout
As I embraced a new outlook, I built stronger trust, shortened contract cycles. At the same time, I reclaimed time for strategy, relationships, and wellbeing. By choosing the right mindset and refining how I showed up, I closed deals faster, elevated my professional presence, and protected my energy. This didn’t just accelerate my success; it made it sustainable.
When my husband became seriously ill at the peak of my career, caregiving collided with the emotional weight of stepping away from work. That chapter deepened my belief: resilience is key to enduring and evolving.
Through that journey, I found something deeper than productivity or performance:
- Resilience
- Clarity
- A way of living that doesn’t ask you to abandon yourself
Now, through Lovena Patten Coaching, I help others do the same.
Why I Coach Resilience and Mindset
Resilience is not about being “strong enough” to handle anything life throws at you. Instead, it is about building the inner strength to respond to pressure with clarity, not collapse.
I work with:
- Senior professionals and leaders who feel responsible for everyone and everything.
- Entrepreneurs and business owners juggling multiple roles and constant demands.
- High‑achievers who want to keep excelling without sacrificing their health or relationships.
If you recognise yourself in any of these, resilience coaching can help you:
Re‑connect with purpose and joy in your work.
Reduce chronic stress and anxiety.
Prevent burnout before it takes over.
