When You Feel Like You're Failing Everyone—Especially Yourself...

Do you ever feel like you just want to disappear during the holidays?

Maybe you fantasize about skipping the whole season.

Just for a while. To escape the madness.

That’s what so many women tell me.

Burnout during the holidays isn’t about tiredness.

It’s feeling like you’re drowning under the weight of expectations — at work, at home.

And then comes the guilt.

That nagging voice that says, “You’re supposed to love this time of year. You’re supposed to be cheerful. But you’re just… not.”

Maybe you can relate.

You care deeply about your family. 

You love seeing their faces light up.

But sometimes, you just feel… done.

Over all of it.

Sometimes, you find yourself hiding in the bathroom during a holiday party.

Just for a moment to breathe.

When you finally sit down at the end of the night, your kids want to watch a movie or decorate cookies.

But all you want is silence.A few minutes to yourself.

Just to be. Have you ever been there?

You love the season. 

You love your family.

But there’s only so much a person can give.
 

And it feels like the more you give, the more it takes.

The more you lose yourself.

This is what burnout does.

It leaves you feeling disconnected, drained, and distant — even from the people you love most.

You’re not alone in this.

So many high-performing women feel the same way.

It’s as if all the giving, all the planning, and all the cheer have drained you.

But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

It shouldn’t be this way. You know that.

Imagine walking into the holiday season feeling calm and present.

Not frazzled and overwhelmed.

But enjoying the moments with your family.

Instead of feeling like they’re just another demand on your energy.

Imagine ending the year feeling fulfilled, not completely drained.

I know this path because I help women just like you every day.

Women who are overwhelmed, overworked, and struggling to carry it all — especially during the holidays.

Together, we’ll work on reclaiming your energy, setting boundaries, and learning to prioritize yourself — without guilt.

You don’t have to disappear.
 

You don’t have to sacrifice your peace to make the holidays magical for everyone else.

Either way, you’ve got this.

Or, if now isn’t the time, that’s okay too. 

Burnout doesn’t have to define this season — or any season.

But you get to make the choice.

I’m rooting for you.
