From Burnout to Alignment: My Journey from Diagnosis to Deep Healing & Soul-Aligned Work

n May 2019, everything changed.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar II. The psychiatrist’s words were clear and final:
“You’ll have this condition for the rest of your life. You’ll be on medication forever.”

It felt like a death sentence.
I left that appointment questioning everything I’d ever believed about myself.
Was I broken?
Were all the things that made me... me—my intuition, creativity, passion, drive—just symptoms?
Could I really run a business or make a positive impact in the world—or was I destined to just “manage” forever?

At the time, I was already burnt out.
I’d spent my entire life choosing careers that looked good on paper.
Jobs that made sense.
Jobs that were impressive, responsible, “the smart choice.”
But underneath the polished exterior, I was exhausted.
I had the calendar, the credentials, the external success—but inside, I felt disconnected.
Unfulfilled.
Like something in me was slowly dying.

And I know that feeling isn’t unique to me.
If you’re a woman reading this, stuck in a career that drains you but unsure how to leave it—
This is for you.

When High Achievement Becomes a Coping Mechanism

I was the “good girl.”
The one who got the grades.
Picked the “safe” career.
Smiled when she was struggling.
Pushed through even when it cost her.

I was also the woman who could do it all—until I couldn’t.
My highs looked like success: launches, milestones, big impact.
But they were followed by crashes.
Numbness.
Confusion.
Despair.

I told myself: “Just be grateful.”
But no amount of gratitude could cover the quiet truth:

I wasn’t living a life that felt like mine.

The Shift: A New Path to Healing

After being prescribed Lithium, I did everything I was told.
Regular blood tests, nausea, side effects—survival became the goal.
But I still felt trapped.

Then, I found Med Free Bipolar by Aspen Morrow.
I worked with a naturopath, focused on nutrition and supplementation—and started to feel a shift.
But the real change came when I met the part of me that had been carrying unprocessed pain for decades.

That’s when Internal Family Systems (IFS) entered my life.
And that’s when everything began to change.

The Work That Healed Me

IFS helped me understand that my burnout, self-doubt, overgiving, and perfectionism weren’t flaws.
They were parts of me.
Parts trying to protect me in the only ways they knew how.

The part that said, “Don’t speak up, you’ll lose love.”
The part that said, “Be responsible. Don’t be too much.”
The part that numbed out with food, Netflix, and wine just to make it through another week.

I stopped trying to fix those parts—and started listening.
I gave them what they never had before: compassion, understanding, and space to heal.

I haven’t had a bipolar episode since January 2020.
But more than that—I’ve never felt more grounded, clear, and truly myself.

Why I’m Sharing This With You

Because I know what it’s like to live a life that looks good—but feels lifeless.
I know the inner war of wanting to quit, but being too afraid of judgment or financial instability.
I know what it’s like to scroll Seek for hours, fantasize about a side hustle, and then talk yourself out of it.
To have a dream that won’t go away—but feel too stuck, too tired, too unsure to take the leap.

And I also know what’s possible when you get to the root.

Because that’s what changed everything for me.

The Work I Do Now Is For Her—For You

The woman who’s successful, capable, and self-aware—
But quietly asking herself:
“Is this it?”

The woman who’s fantasizing about leaving her job…
but feels selfish, scared, or unqualified.

The woman who keeps telling herself she “should” be grateful…
but can’t shake the feeling that she’s meant for more.

You don’t need more motivation.
You need healing at the root.
And that’s the work I now help other women do—through my programs, retreats, and therapeutic journeys.
