I specialize in preventing Executive Burnout, enhancing Leaders Mental Health & workplace wellbeing. Executives, often balancing intense work demands with high-stake decisions, face unique challenges. Many women leaders also juggle caregiving besides work. Despite LOAs & expensive vacations, burnout or MH challenges persist & worsen year over year. Exhaustion, resentment, disconnection and hopelessness accumulate, forcing a tough choice: "Do I have career success with suffering? Or resign to save health, marriage, and family?" If this is what’s keeping you up at night, you don’t have to suffer in silence or struggle alone anymore.
