Confession time

Last year, I fell into emotional burnout.

There, I said it. Cue feelings of shame.

Because when you help people navigate emotional burnout, you start to believe you should somehow be immune to it.

“But Susan,” I can hear you say,

“you know this stuff — how could you let that happen?”

Here’s the truth:

I could see it happening.

I recognised the signs.

Intellectually, I understood why I was reacting the way I was.

I did the “right” things.

I had regular sessions with other practitioners.

I practised self-care.

And despite all of that… it still got hold of me.

But something was different this time.

I didn’t fall as far or as hard as I have in the past.

I was more resilient — and I found my way back to balance more quickly.

And most importantly, I used the experience as an opportunity to learn more about myself and how I meet certain challenges in my life.

It also reminded me of something really important:

Our healing journey is never “done.”

Life will always present us with new lessons and new invitations to grow. There is no box we get to tick called “Complete healing this lifetime.”

You and I — we are works in progress.

We are evolving, spiritually and emotionally.

And now is the time to do the inner work.

If you’re ready, I would love to support your healing journey.
