You push through, and by the end of the day you have nothing left for the people and things that matter to you outside of work.
Five minutes won’t fix everything, and it’s no substitute for a vacation. But when a big break isn’t possible, the small ones still count. Five minutes can be enough to reset and come back to your day with a little more of yourself.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD, BREAKS ARE THE FIRST THING TO GO.
You know you need a break.

I'm a licensed psychologist, board-certified coach, and award-winning professor, and I help women leaders find their voice and lead without abandoning themselves. If you heard me on the Love, Happiness, and Success podcast, you know I am passionate about sustainable and values-based leadership.
I spent years discounting my intuition and second-guessing myself. I didn't have many examples of women leaders I admired, and I had gotten pretty far relying on my perfectionism and people pleasing, so I kept doing that.
Burnout, resentment, and disillusionment followed, until I decided I was going to lead in a way that was true to myself. The results of this experiment led to my proprietary coaching framework, VOICE, which is the foundation of my coaching work with women leaders.
