Mindset Shift – My Story
Not the polished version, but the real one.
In fact, the one filled with detours, heartbreaks, and quiet triumphs.
This is the one that taught me how to change my mindset, lower stress levels, and, ultimately, prevent burnout by building lasting, compassionate resilience.
My Dream: Chasing Purpose in the UK
At first, when I came to the UK, I wasn’t just after a job or a degree – I was searching for purpose. I wanted to think critically, do meaningful work, and make a real impact.
I’ve always been drawn to systems, strategy, and the power of clear information. As a result, defence intelligence felt like a natural fit. Shortly after graduating from university, I began a 14-year career in intelligence as an Information Consultant. During that time, I worked in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, negotiated complex international deals built on trust, precision, and discretion.
Full Adrenaline, Losing Presence
For years, I ran on adrenaline in the fast-paced world of defence sales. Constant travel, high-stakes negotiations, and relentless ambition were part of daily life.
However, everything changed when I was closing a deal in Paris and missed my son’s first day at nursery.
At the same time, I was going through IVF, still pushing hard, fuelled by pressure and the drive to be the perfect wife and professional.
A Wake-Up Call for Balance
That moment became a clear wake-up call. Although my career was successful, it came at the cost of balance. Therefore, I knew my life needed a reset. I shifted my mindset and focused on what truly mattered.
Redefining Purpose and Power
Consequently, I redefined my work-life boundaries and intentionally rebranded myself with purpose. That, right there, is real power.
Authentic Impact
In the end, lasting impact comes from owning the room as your authentic self — with charisma, resilience, and confidence.
Shift My Mindset to Prevent Burnout
Shifting my mindset was a true game-changer. As I embraced change, I started building stronger trust and closing contracts faster. As a result, I reclaimed valuable time to focus on strategy, relationships, and well-being. This mindset shift not only accelerated my success but also elevated my professional presence and long-term impact.
Heart Breaking Moment – My Saviour – Changing My Mindset
When my husband became seriously ill at the peak of my career everything changed. At that point, the demands of caregiving collided with the emotional weight of stepping away from work.
Even so, that chapter strengthened my belief in one thing: resilience is essential for both endurance and growth.
Over time, shifting my mindset helped me manage the challenges and find steadiness within uncertainty.
Through that experience, I discovered something more important than productivity or performance:
– Resilience.
– Clarity.
A way of living that doesn’t ask you to abandon yourself to succeed.
Recognise Burnout Before It Builds
Burnout rarely shows up all at once, it creeps in quietly. At first, I was still performing, still ticking off the boxes. But inside, I was running on empty and on autopilot mode. I felt tired, foggy, and disconnected, yet I kept pushing forward.I kept showing up. I did what had to be done. But I was stuck on autopilot, barely feeling anything.
That moment was my turning point.
How I Reclaimed My Energy
I had to set boundaries, reframe my thinking, and retrain my mind. I developed my own pathway to “Realise, Recharge and Radiate” to defy the odds. We didn’t just recover; we thrived.
This is when I truly learned how to prevent burnout.
Helping You Prevent Burnout Before It Takes Over
Now, I help high achievers just like you recognise burnout before it takes control. You don’t have to break down to rebuild.
No more bubble baths as band-aids. No more powering through. Instead, it’s about creating lasting change:
- Listen to your body before it breaks down
- Make space to breathe, feel, and think clearly
- Let go of doing it all and reconnect with what truly matters
What Burnout Really Looks Like
Burnout isn’t always dramatic. Often, it’s silent. You appear successful, but inside you feel nothing. You’re smiling through the stress while your inner world slowly fades.

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer .”
– Albert Camus
Albert Camus is right – we are invincible! . That’s why I live on my terms. I love travelling, gardening, shopping, and great food, whether it’s afternoon tea, takeaway, or a cosy restaurant. I relax with Now TV or Prime Video. Most of all, I treasure time with friends and family.
