In 2020 I hit rock bottom and was totally suffering from entrepreneurial burnout
I was working LOOOONG hours – working my ass off really
Then my body and mind and spirit broke down
I didn’t want to work anymore – I was depressed and lost
My central nervous system caved in and it was time for me to heal
What I learned next might surprise you about burnout
The root cause could appear to be simply working too much
But where did I learn that from?
Where did that get modeled to me?
First in my family of origin
Then by mentors in business and business partners in my 30s/40s
It was all about the “hustle” and the DOING and I was swimming in it in the entrepreneur world
It was shown to me that I couldn’t be “successful” if I didn’t go go go go, do do do do and stay “busy” all the time. On my phone and computer all the time.
I never did that before my 30s and before social media and smart phone addiction/dependency really set in.
I was in hypervigilance mode for nearly 10 years straight (2011-2021)
What is hypervigilance even mean?
Hypervigilance is a state of heightened awareness and alertness, often accompanied by a feeling of being constantly on guard. It’s a biological adaptation to stress, where the brain tries to stay alert and aware of potential threats in the environment. While it can be a helpful survival mechanism in dangerous situations, chronic hypervigilance can be exhausting and negatively impact daily life and relationships.
- Trauma: Hypervigilance is often a result of experiencing or witnessing traumatic events, such as abuse, violence, or combat.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): It’s a common symptom of PTSD, where individuals may develop a heightened sense of awareness and fear as they become acutely attuned to potential threats.
- Medical Illnesses: Some medical conditions, like thyroid disease, can also contribute to hypervigilance.
Bottom line, I also found out it was a trauma response from the masculine father wound that had been hard wired into me from the patriarchal ancestral wounding the past 5000 years
How does one shift out of that?
ALCHEMY
I started practicing daily alchemy work on my shadows, my central nervous system and my trauma responses over 3 years ago now.
It didn’t change things over night (nothing at this level ever does – no such thing as a quick fix)
What is alchemy you ask?
Carl Jung talked about alchemy as the yin and yang – the shadow and the light – the feminine and the masculine.
The ultimate come back in Alchemy is healing the wounded masculine AND the wounded feminine so that you are in balanced flow state (feminine) and action/execution state (masculine)
With that balance/harmony, anything is possible
The miracles I have seen in my life and the lives of my clients has been incredible
I was able to double my income without selling my soul (aka reverting back to workaholism)
I could become more magnetic and attract leads that sign up for my offers because I am in alignment with my words and in integrity with my Self
I’ve had clients quit jobs and go and start new businesses and soar with daily alchemy
I’ve seen clients consciously uncouple and find a new partner that was incredibly aligned with their Soul after they worked diligently in alchemizing their shadows into light and purpose and truth
I’ve seen central nervous system regulation that brought mothers and children together again because they were no longer operating out of hypervigilance (aka burnout mode/trauma response)
Are you tired of working your ass off?
Would you like to have more friends, more fun AND more money (in less time working)?
Do you simply want to live an abundant life?
