If resting feels wrong, it's not a moral issue.

It's just a sign that your body has been running on high alert for far too long.

Chronic stress teachers your nervous system to stay switched on.

Even when you're at home or utterly exhausted or deparate for quiet.

And this isn't something you're actively choosing. It's your body that's adapted to survive the pace.

I unpack topics like this in my newsletter - all in plain English, with no waffle or textbook talk.

Christmas has become a performance…
and honestly, I miss the 90s.

Back then you circled ONE thing in the Argos catalogue and hoped for the best.
No curated colour schemes.
No Christmas Eve boxes.
No Elf on the Shelf committing small crimes in your living room.

Now it feels like you need a budget, a mood board and an interior design diploma just to put the tree up.

Here’s the truth:
You’re not failing Christmas.
Christmas has gotten too big for its boots.

A few ways to bring the magic back without draining your bank account:

• Set a budget and let the kids choose their gifts within it. One big thing or a few small ones.
• Swap decorations with friends instead of buying new ones.
• Bring back the 90s: paper chains, dodgy tinsel, cosy films and cheap chocolate.
• Choose one ritual that actually matters and drop the rest.
• Remember: children remember the mood, not the matching pyjamas.

Make it warm.
Make it human.
Make it yours.

I’ve seen people come in saying, “I’ve got nothing left.”

Then, slowly, you watch them come back to themselves.

Not in a dramatic way. Just small things. Like sleeping again, thinking clearer, not dreading the day.

That’s what happens when you finally have space to slow down and talk about what the job has taken from you.

If you want to know what that process looks like, head to my bio to book an intro call.

Burnout doesn’t hit you like a wall.
It creeps in through the cracks created by purpose, pressure and culture.

If you didn’t see it coming — you’re not alone.

You were never taught to notice your limits.

You were trained to run past them.

The job rewards the very traits that exhaust you:
over-responsibility, emotional suppression, carrying on regardless.

If you felt yourself in this story — save it.

Share it.

Feeling constantly exhausted isn't a character flaw.

It's your body desperately screaming out for help.

This job takes more out of you than you ever plan to give.

Of course you’re tired.

Of course you need rest.

And no, you don’t have to justify it.

If you want something real in your inbox - something that actually speaks to your life, not corporate nonsense - you can sign up to my newsletter. It’s there for when you need a reset. Click the link my bio to sign up.

Most of us are knackered and it’s not because we’re doing the job badly.

It’s because we’re doing it while pretending we’re fine.

Staff feel it. Managers feel it. Everyone’s stretched too thin to admit how thin.

Half the culture we work in runs on people pushing past their limit.

And we all just… carry on.

It doesn’t need a grand solution. Just one honest moment where someone says, “This isn’t working, is it?”

That’s usually where things start shifting.

This isn't therapy.

It's professional restoration - designed for people who hold others' safety every day but rarely get space to breathe themselves.

My 1:1 consultations use clinical hypnotherapy to help probation and prison staff switch from survival mode to calm, help to steady the mind and rebuild clarity.

It's not about "fixing you."

It's an opportunity to give you back the calm focus your job demands.

You don't need to get to the point where you feel like you're in freefall. You just need to be ready to stop running on empty.

You chose this job because you care.

And it's the very reason that keeps you awake at 3am replaying the decisions you made that day.

Public service has always attracted the givers - it's essentially the job description! It's packed full of the steady ones, the fixers, the people who hold everything together.

But it also burns them first.

This is the cost of a culture that confuses sacrifice with service.

It's not the weakness of the individual.

If you're tired of pretending you're fine, then you're in good company.

Head to the link in my bio and sign up to my newsletter - it's where I'll be inviting you into the conversation about burnout that nobody else is having.

Have you been spending years saying 'yes' when you really mean 'no'?

There's a worrying trend in public service - that the "good ones" give until they break.

That being available means you're dedicated.

That exhaustion is just part of the job.

But it's all nonsense.

It's a myth that boundaries are selfish. In actual fact, boundaries make you more sustainable.

You're allowed to protect your time, your headspace and your weekends.

You can still care deeply, profoundly even... and clock off at the end of your set shift.

What myth about boundaries have you believed the longest? Tell me below what it was and what made you see otherwise.

As the saying goes: you can't pour from an empty cup.

We all know that to be true. But what if the cup's been cracked for years?

This is where my 1:1 consultations come in.

Confidential, specialist and built for probation and prison staff.

There's no fluff, no stereotypical wellness chatter.

Just space for you to release the tension and rebuild without the guilt.

I offer a free initial consultation where we can discuss how I can help you - it's a chance to see if we're the right fit and for me to understand where you currently are.

No obligations, no cost - just an opportunity to take that first step and move forward with a plan.

High functioning anxiety isn’t a personality trait.It’s not your “quirk”, your “thing”, or the reason you get stuff done.

Its the mask you learned to wear.
The one that says “I’m fine” while your chest is tight, your brain’s sprinting, and your body hasn’t properly relaxed in years.

W’ve normalised being constantly switched on.
We’ve glamorised overwhelm.
We’ve called survival “drive” and burnout “being the reliable one”.

Bt if your calm is a performance…
If your brain never shuts up…
If resting feels like a threat…
If people think you’re thriving while you’re quietly unravelling…

Tat’s not your personality.
That’s your nervous system asking for help.

If his landed, save it for later.
Share it if you know someone who lives in that high-functioning chaos.
And follow along — this space is where we stop calling exhaustion an identity and start getting you back to yourself.

Or if you've had a OMG that's me moment, DM for support.
