You’re a smart, savvy woman with leanings towards diversity, equity and inclusion; and you’ve always had a passion and a purpose that matters to you - or you’ve always wished for that.

Maybe you’re a leader in your industry, quietly disrupting old toxic paradigms and modelling your own discreet revolution. Or maybe your work itself is about creating what the late, great John Lewis so famously called ‘good trouble’.

Maybe you heal the sick or teach the kids or save the planet.

But in this sharp-cornered world, sometimes it feels like you’ve lost the joy and inspiration that used to fuel you; it feels like burnout is here, or just around the corner.

Perhaps it’s creeping perfectionism, overwork, or the burden of other people’s needs; perhaps it’s the pressures from increasing waves of bigotry and watching as vandals dismantle what good systems we do have - and perhaps you even feel some shame because you ‘should be able to fix this’.

Some days, you know that your work, your presence, is having an impact - but on the inside, too often, things feel so juiceless, and you’re running on the smell of an oily rag.

You worry that you’ve invested too much time and energy to change things now, but you aren’t sure you can keep going much longer.

Some days, the daily grind has you feeling so disheartened, you struggle to believe passion or joy in your work will ever be available to you again.

Maybe not every detail here is 100% you, but you feel the deep painful echoes of it in your gut - and it SUCKS.
