Episode Summary:
If you’re a coach or consultant who’s feeling like the spark has dimmed—this episode is for you.
This episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to feel stuck or burnt out in your own coaching or consulting work, even when you’re still deeply passionate about helping others.
In this episode, I’ll share:
✨ How I noticed the signs of burnout and realized I was stuck in a cycle of doing more, without feeling fulfilled.
✨ My own journey from retainer clients to high-value VIP Days—why I pivoted, and how it changed everything for me and my clients.
✨ How to see where you are stuck, what’s possible, and how to shift in a way that feels true to you.
✨ The powerful difference between working reactively in your business—always hustling to keep up—and pausing to reconnect with what truly brings you joy and impact.
When you feel lit up by your work again, you can serve your clients with even more heart and impact.
Small, thoughtful pivots can lead to big transformations for you and the people you serve.
If you’re ready to explore your own pivot, or you’re feeling like you’re just going through the motions—I invite you to join me for a 1:1 90-Minute Strategy Session. It’s a safe space to pause, get honest, and find a new way forward that feels aligned and exciting again. Learn more and book your session here → growandflourish.co/vip-day
