All my life, I strived to be the best. To rise to the top. I hustled to prove my worth.

But the mode of operating I honed my entire life, from early childhood to an executive at a successful tech company, was just not sustainable.

I ignored my own wellbeing for too long until slowly, yet decidedly, I found myself completely burnt.

I couldn’t find joy in the things I loved. I was cranky and irritable. I was beyond exhausted. I kept telling myself, this is what I signed up for. This is what being a busy, working mother looks and feels like.

Until my body chose for me.

An emergency room visit, lots of questions, and a surgery later, I finally had the courage (and the proof) that enough was enough. The way I was working, was, well… not working.

Now, I’m on a mission to change the way the world perceives and stigmatizes burnout. To change outdated practices that still remain in the modern workplace. To provide streamlined access to all things personal wellness, and provide tools and resources to individuals and to companies to build a burnout-proof world.

Together, we can heal and redefine what it means to be successful.
