You Crave Work That Lights You Up—But You’re Still Stuck in a job that drains you
Let’s be real—when we talk about “doing work that lights you the f*ck up,” it’s not just about chasing your passion or finding the perfect job title.
It’s about finally answering the whisper that says: “This isn’t it.”
Because the truth is, work that lights you up is never just about work.
It’s about healing the parts of you that settled.
It’s about breaking cycles of burnout, people-pleasing, and playing small.
It’s about becoming the version of you who stops dimming her brilliance just to keep the peace.
Why Work Feels Like a Soul Drain Instead of Soul Work
You might look like you have it together—successful on paper, capable, high-functioning—but underneath?
You’re exhausted. Disconnected. Quietly asking, “Is this really all there is?”
Maybe you're…
Dragging yourself to a job that feels more like obligation than purpose.
Drowning your dread in wine, Netflix, or online shopping.
Saying, “I should be grateful,” while secretly fantasizing about quitting it all.
Waiting for clarity or confidence to magically arrive before you make a change.
This isn’t just about work. This is about unhealed parts of you—inner child parts that learned to survive by staying small, quiet, perfect, invisible.
Those parts learned that success means safety. That people-pleasing gets love. That expressing yourself is risky.
Doing Aligned Work Is the Healing Work
When you step into work that actually lights you up, you’re not just choosing a new path—you’re reclaiming the Self you were before the world told you to tone it down.
Aligned work asks you to become the woman you were always meant to be.
Here’s what happens when you start doing that kind of work:
Your Inner Critic Calms the F*ck Down: No more constant second-guessing or hustling for worth. You start trusting yourself.
Perfectionism Loosens Its Grip: You stop proving, performing, or waiting until you're “ready.” You start taking bold action as you are.
You Feel Whole, Not Hollow: You stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start feeling like your work reflects who you really are.
You Become Magnetic: Confidence. Clarity. Clients. Opportunities. They start to land—because you’re finally aligned.
You’re Not Stuck—You’re Just Carrying Old Beliefs That Say You Can’t
And you didn’t choose those beliefs. They were downloaded over time by well-meaning parents, schools, and culture that told you:
“Be realistic.”
“Don’t be too much.”
“Security matters more than joy.”
Now, they’ve become inner voices that whisper things like:
“Who do you think you are to do that?”
“What if you fail?”
“You should just be grateful.”
But those voices? They’re just scared parts. And they can heal.
You Don’t Need More Motivation. You Need a New Map.
And that’s what I do.
Through IFS therapy and inner healing, I help ambitious women stop battling their inner critic and start leading from their deepest truth—so they can do work that feels like purpose, not pressure.
Because when you show up in your full expression, doing work that actually matters to you?
You don’t just change your career. You change your life.
