doing it all is costing you everything
Stop Doing It All. Start Leading Strategically.
The Overfunctioner’s Exit Plan
You’re not tired because you’re doing too much.
You’re tired because you’re doing too much of the wrong things for the wrong reasons—
and calling it responsibility.
let's fix that.
You’re the strong one. The capable one. The one everyone leans on. but the invisible load is crushing You.
Oh, I’m SO ready for this
You carry what no one sees.
You hold the pieces when things fall apart.
And you’ve convinced yourself that breaking down is a luxury you can’t afford.
You smile through the burnout.
You overextend because you don’t know what it looks like not to.
You put everyone else first and call it care…
But deep down, you’re wondering:
“What happens if I keep living like this?”
Or worse… "what happens if I don’t stop?"
You’re the one everyone counts on—because you’ve trained them to.
But behind the hyper-capable exterior?
You’re stretched, snappy, and quietly disappearing from your own life.
stop overfunctioning, reclaim your energy, and lead with strategy—not self-sacrifice.
This is for the woman who’s constantly holding it all together—
- anticipates needs before they’re spoken.
- is the glue in every relationship.
- always steps up, steps in, and makes it all work.
You’ve been:
- running on fumes
- resenting the very people you care about
- saying yes when you want to scream no
- wondering when it’s your turn to come first
and quietly falling apart.
Because Even the Most Successful Women Struggle with This

You Weren't

As a trauma-informed empowerment and leadership coach, international motivational speaker, women’s leadership expert, children’s book author, board member, and podcast host, I empower high-achieving women to conquer self-doubt, embark on an inner healing journey, and discover authentic confidence from within so they can navigate their unique path to fulfillment and success.
Prior to now, my identity was wrapped up in my corporate job and I had lost touch with who I really was. I was a high achieving perfectionist who ran on 4-inch heels, 5-hours of sleep, and 6 cups of coffee a day. A type A control freak. A classic over-functioner who ran herself into the ground.
Today, I enjoy the hustle as much as I do the calm. I am mission-driven and aligned to my purpose. I am unapologetically authentic. I cherish the smallest moments. I embrace the journey and trust the process. I choose inner peace over most anything these days.
former overfunctioner turned mission-driven powerhouse
I'm here to help you to do the same.
It’s Time to Learn the Skills No One Taught You.
This isn’t about becoming selfish.
It’s about becoming so aligned that your yes means something—and your no is non-negotiable.
You don’t have to stop serving—just stop abandoning yourself to do it.
What is Overfunctioning?
It looks like:
- Micromanaging everything so it “gets done right”
- Absorbing stress and emotions that doesn’t belong to you
- Fixing things no one asked you to fix
- Overcompensating so no one thinks you’ve dropped the ball
You’re not doing it to be controlling—you’re doing it to protect, to serve, to help. But somewhere along the way, helping turned into hiding—from your own needs, desires, and limits.
This Power Plan is designed to interrupt that cycle.
You’re smart. Capable. High-achieving.
You handle work crisis, family fires, and personal chaos without flinching.
So why does slowing down feel so hard?
Because this isn’t about competence. It’s about compulsion.
Overfunctioning isn’t just doing a lot— It’s the unconscious reflex to take it all on, fix everything, and make sure no one is disappointed… ever. It shows up as:
- Jumping in before anyone even asks for help.
- Saying yes because it’s easier than sitting with guilt.
- Feeling like if you don’t handle it, it won’t get done “right.”
- Earning your worth through usefulness, not presence.
This is the missing piece. This Power Plan isn’t just about doing less for the sake of rest. It’s about doing less of what’s draining you—so you can access more of your actual power. You don’t need to hustle harder. You need to interrupt the pattern that’s been running your life.
You’re Successful.

Overfunctioning
leading from intentional impact
Kind Words from Empowered Clients
It offers a different perspective, it normalizing topics that often live predominately in our heads. It helps us realize that our feelings are founded and often shared and that there is an accessible way forward to impact positive changes in our lives.
It’s hard to do the work, to be vulnerable and to admit that there are things that you need to work on. It’s even harder to know where to begin and that’s where I truly believe personal coaching gives you the tools to get started, the framework to achieve, and the mindfulness to better yourself.

It builds confidence, creates momentum in times of uncertainty or feeling "stuck", and helps clear the complex to identify solutions to bring one's best self forward.

Will this make me seem selfish?
What if I don’t have time for this?
What if I Feel Guilty?
That’s conditioning talking. You’ve been trained to prioritize others at your own expense. We’re undoing that nonsense—starting now.
If you’re too busy to read 18 pages and listen to a 10-minute audio that could change your life, that’s exactly why you need it. Overfunctioning steals your time, energy, and clarity—and keeps you stuck in cycles that don’t serve you. This plan helps you take it all back.
Nope. It will make you seem clear. Your people will respect the boundaries you enforce—especially when you model how to do it with love and confidence.

Let Me Guess—You’re Thinking
But What If…?
Can’t I just Google this stuff?
Sure—but you’ll end up with generic advice from strangers who don’t know your life, your pressure, or your priorities. This isn’t surface-level tips—it’s a no-guilt power plan that gets to the root of why you’re overfunctioning in the first place. Google gives you information—this gives you transformation.
If You Don’t Address the Root, Nothing Changes.
You’ll keep answering those late-night work emails.
You’ll keep saying yes when your gut says no.
You’ll keep carrying other people’s problems like they’re your responsibility.
You’ll keep being everything to everyone—except yourself.
And that’s not what you’re here for.
🔥 You’re here to break that cycle, right now.
🔥 You’re here to learn the skill that will protect your peace for LIFE.
🔥 You’re here because you finally realized—THEY’LL BE FINE.
But will YOU be, if you keep living like this?
Say Less,
I'm In
This is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.
You’ve spent your whole life showing up for everyone else. Putting their needs first. Carrying the weight. Saying yes when you really wanted to say no.
I know, because I’ve been there.
But here’s the truth: You don’t have to earn your rest. You don’t have to justify your limits. You don’t have to be everything to everyone.
This is your moment to choose YOU. To reclaim your time, your energy, your peace—without guilt, without apology.
