Calling all the gentle disrupters and quiet rebels …
You’re a smart, creative woman, and there’s something about your work in the world which helps disrupt old, outmoded systems and ways of being.
Maybe you’re a leader in your industry, or maybe your work itself is about creating what John Lewis so famously called ‘good trouble’.
But you’ve lost the joy and inspiration that used to fuel you, and burnout is here or just around the corner.
Perhaps it’s creeping perfectionism, overwork, or the burden of other people’s needs; and perhaps you regularly feel shame because you ‘should be able to fix this’.
You know your work, your presence, is having an impact - but on the inside everything feels dry and empty.
You worry that you’ve invested too much time and energy to change things now, but you don’t think you can keep going much longer.
And 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.
