I have spent years performing... like a rodeo clown... without realizing I was performing.
🤡
Performing competence, strength, productivity, success, worthiness! And feeling the cost of it without even realizing it.
⛑️
Performance is exhausting because it always needs an audience. WTF.
It needs recognition. Validation. Results. Approval. Evidence that what we're doing matters.
BUT... intention doesn't.
🥇🎖️
Intention requires a completely different energy. One that asks:
What am I really here to create?
😲
I’ve been thinking about this a lot as I return from my spectacular burnout plot twist. I used to believe that if something mattered deeply enough, I needed to push harder to make it happen.
More effort. More visibility. More striving. More proving. More doing.
🌪️
Apparently, my strategy was: If it's not working... exhaust yourself more enthusiastically!
(Also known in some circles as spiritual bypassing – in this case, wearing Lululemon.)
🧘
What I'm discovering is almost the opposite. When I'm clear about my intention, there is considerably less force. Decisions become easier. The unnecessary falls away. I stop chasing every opportunity and responding to every invitation. Competing with invisible people I completely invented in my own head. Or convincing people that my work matters.
🥱
Now I ask one question: Does this serve what I'm here to create?
🫵
👉Yes? Move.
👉No? Take a hike.

Maybe that’s one of the biggest shifts leadership needs right now.
💥
We’re living in the most connected, informed and technologically advanced workplace in history…...and somehow, we’re also the most exhausted.
😵
More tools. More notifications. More meetings. More pressure to prove we’re doing enough.

Research keeps telling us the same story: people have less energy, less focus, and less engagement than they’ve had in years. Maybe the answer isn’t becoming more productive. Maybe…it’s becoming more intentional.
⚡️🌈
Performance consumes energy. Intention directs it.
👇
What are your thoughts on this?

09/14/2026

There comes a point in your leader’s journey when you must ask yourself the difficult question: Am I leading from truth… or am I hiding behind an image to prove that I’m worthy?
😲
For a long time, many of us learned to measure our value externally. By the number of invites and followers. The amount of recognition and applause. The revenue and the bank account. The title and responsibilities. The number of clients and contracts.
💰
We become exceptional performers who struggle with comparing and competing. And somewhere along the way, we can become so focused on proving our value that we disconnect from the very thing that makes us valuable. The truth and the beauty of who we are.
🧘
AND…know this intimately. I have spent far too much energy looking sideways to measure my progress against someone else's, wondering why they were being chosen, questioning whether I was doing enough, achieving enough, being seen enough.
🫩
And beneath all the fear, uncertainty, and noise was the deeper question: Am I enough? Am I good enough? Do I know enough? Have I done enough?
😳
That is not the energy that supports the important work we are here to do. Because when our self-worth depends on being chosen, recognized or validated, we don't lead from truth. We perform for approval. And performing is F$ exhausting.
💥
AND THE TRUTH ISN’T. It’s hard for sure and it’s also liberating.
🗽
The truth says:

👉I don't need to become more like someone so my contribution matters.
👉I don't need to compete with someone else's gifts to see the power of mine.
👉I don't need to prove my worth to anyone.
👉The world doesn't need another perfectly packaged version of us trying to earn our place not a curated version of what we want the world to think.
🎁
The world needs our gifts—not our self-doubt. It NEEDS our ideas. Our wisdom. Our lived experience. Our stories. Our courage. Our truth.
🫵
So perhaps the next evolution of leadership isn't about becoming more impressive but about becoming less performative. Less comparison. Less proving. Less noise. More clarity. More truth. More YOU.
🫵
Because ex*****on without clarity can build something impressive.

But clarity and truth build a LEGACY.
CLARITY + TRUTH BEFORE EX*****ON = LEGACY
☝️
One of the bravest things a leader can do is stop asking, “Will they approve of me?” …and start asking: “What becomes possible when I no longer require approval!?”

It’s impossible to believe it’s been 365 days since we said goodbye to your big laugh, constant smile, and sassy attitude.
🤭
Although you’re incredibly missed, it’s comforting to know you are somewhere free of all the suffering we create for ourselves on this journey called life.
🚷
You blessed us with the most important values: love, family, self-confidence, good food, and joy. You were a simple woman who required nothing but these things. You needed nothing else.
♥️
You were never looking for the next thing. Material possessions were unnecessary—unless, of course, they came from the dollar store. You couldn’t have cared less about status, wealth, accolades, or validation, unless it had something to do with your children and grandchildren.
﹩
Your greatest pride in life was being a mom and a wife. I asked you once if there was anything you regretted in life, and you answered quickly, without hesitation: NONE.
What a way to live your life.
💥
No one could camp like you. Create celebrations like you—complete with all the necessary items from the dollar store. Cook luxury dinners like you. Laugh like you. Get into harmless trouble like you. Or match their socks to their shirt quite like you.
🧦
You are missed every day.
😢
And I am so grateful I learned some of life’s most important lessons from you:
📖
Be steady.�Be strong.�Be confident.�And most importantly—
🫶
HAVE FUN ON THIS JOURNEY CALLED LIFE.
🎥
If you’ve read to the end, I have one request.
☝️
If your mom or dad are still here today, reach out. Send flowers. Send a text. Make the call. Stop by and visit.
📞💬🌹
Because one day, sooner than you can imagine, you will be writing this post.

I crashed and burned in July. Not gracefully and not strategically.
☄️
And definitely not in a way that fit the image of someone who teaches leadership, alignment and energy.
😳
I was done. DONE, DONE, DONE, DONE, DONE!
So I gave myself permission to stop.
I stopped pushing, striving, competing.
I stopped performing.
I stopped putting pressure on myself.
I stopped trying to prove the value of my work.
I stopped trying to figure out what was next.
🏃‍♀️
Instead, I went inward. To the very back of my proverbial cave.
After all, "the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek".
🛘
I got quiet. I grounded. I rested. I questioned. I listened.
And somewhere in that silence, I began to see something I couldn't see while I was busy trying to create so much:
Burnout didn’t just reveal how much I had been doing.
It revealed what was driving me to do it.
💥
And that hit me hard.
Because visionary leaders can be doing meaningful work from completely misaligned energy.
We can serve from depletion.
Achieve from fear.
Lead from proving.
Give from unworthiness.
Build from desperation.
And call all of it purpose!
😲
I won't anymore.
I'm not coming back to social media with a better content strategy, a more polished version of myself, or another performance designed to get attention.
I'm coming back grounded, clear, and fearless.
I'm not interested in being palatable and I'm willing to say the things I believe leadership desperately needs to hear.
Because this work is not meant to stay quiet.
So perhaps this isn't a return. It's something more powerful.
Perhaps it's like a phoenix rising from the ashes — carrying the same mission, but no longer willing to burn myself out to deliver it.
⚡️
ENERGY BEFORE EX*****ON.
Because the energy we lead from eventually becomes the culture we create.
This is not a return. This is a rise - and I'm taking everyone who understands this along for the ride.
🎢
Let's talk about your burnout story and what it cost you. 🫵

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with David Dye, host of The Question Everything Podcast — a show built around challenging assumptions, exploring unconventional ideas and asking the questions that can change the way we see the world.
👀
And we certainly did that.
Our conversation explored one of the central premises of my work:
What if the fastest way to change the results of an organization isn't to start with strategy — but with the energetic signature of its leadership?
🤔
Because thinking creates emotion.
Emotion creates energy.
Energy influences behaviour.
Behaviour shapes culture.
And culture ultimately impacts results.
😮
This is the architecture behind the work I am building for the next generation of leadership — connecting what happens within the leader to what ultimately shows up in KPIs, ROI, culture and organizational performance.
💰
David described the premise as audacious.
I think that's exactly why it's a conversation worth having.
Thank you, David, for being willing to question everything with me.

Today, a room full of visionary, emerging, and hidden leaders came together with one intention 👇
..to lead with greater awareness, clarity, alignment, and impact.

Together we explored three simple but powerful shifts that can change how we lead at work, at home, and in every conversation we have.

The most meaningful part of the event was the conversations, reflections, and willingness to look inward before leading outward.

To learn the importance of using your heart as a compass and a guide rather than as a shield and a guard.

That's how the future of leadership will look and feel, and where real leadership begins 💯

If you missed this month's Visionary Leaders Lounge, don't worry!

It's a FREE curated monthly gathering, and every month we welcome a new group of inspired leaders ready to think differently about leadership. insert a testimonial

If you're someone who knows you're here to make a conscious impact, I'd love to welcome you to the next event on August 13th at 11:00am PST.

Visionary Leaders are not afraid to look inward to reveal both their greatest strengths and gifts but also the pieces that hold them back.
🪞
These are not flaws or weaknesses....they are portals to your hidden fears. The ones that keep you from stepping up and in so you are seen fully.
🫵
The Mirror Principle teaches us that what we see in others is often a reflection of something within ourselves.
The people who inspire us often reflect gifts we have yet to fully claim.
🎁
The people who frustrate us often reveal places where we are still carrying hurt, fear, judgment or unhealed stories.
And the situations that trigger us? They are invitations to pause, become curious, and ask ourselves a deeper question:
What is this here to teach me?
🤔
Perhaps beneath frustration is a fear of not being enough.
Perhaps beneath judgment is a part of ourselves we have rejected.
Perhaps beneath admiration is a dormant gift waiting to be expressed.
❤️‍🔥
Visionary Leadership is about courageously reclaiming who you have always been.
Every trigger, every challenge, every relationship is holding up a mirror and the question is not, "Why is this happening to me?"
🥹
The question is, "What is this reflecting back to me about myself?"
🪞
When we are willing to look honestly into the mirror, we stop leading from our wounds and begin leading from our wholeness.

Featured on EIN Presswire

I'm honoured to have my work featured on both EIN Presswire and US Business Weekly this month. I believe the shifts we are experiencing in organizations, teams, businesses, and person lives is due to the realization that there are much better ways of doing things simply by looking at our being.
⚡️
The old paradigms are being questioned and people are looking for healthier ways to interact with their employees, staff, leaders, and co-workers.
