Lately people keep asking me

How do you hold down a corporate role
Build your coaching business
And still have a life?

Honestly…

Coaching isn’t work to me.

When I stand in those rooms and talk about the transformational framework I teach, about the breaking point that changed everything for me…

Something shifts.

Even a senior stakeholder in my corporate world said to me recently
“Your voice changes when you talk about coaching.”

And they’re right.

Because it’s not draining.
It gives me energy.

I know what it feels like to be exhausted, running on empty, stuck at rock bottom.
That chapter taught me something powerful.

When you’re aligned with what you’re building…
It doesn’t feel like work.

Seeing clients walk in anxious, nervous, doubting themselves…
Then watching them leave clearer, lighter, reaching for things they never thought possible.

That fills my cup.

And here’s the part people don’t expect…
Transformation doesn’t take as long as you think when you actually do the work.

This is what it looks like when you stop surviving
And start building something that energises you.

Message me “SHIFT” if you’re ready to explore your next level.

1. You’re always “on.”
Even when you’re sat down. Even when nothing’s wrong.
Your brain is scanning. Planning. Preparing.

2. You snap… then feel guilty.
You care deeply.
But lately you’re either irritated or completely checked out.

3. You forget things.
Walk into a room and blank.
Read a message three times.
Simple tasks feel weirdly heavy.

4. You’re exhausted… but can’t switch off.
Tired body. Wired mind.
Sleep isn’t restful anymore.

5. Everything feels louder.
Noise. Bright lights. Busy places.
Your system feels thin.

6. Your body is tight all the time.
Jaw clenched. Shoulders up. Headaches.
You don’t even notice you’re bracing.

7. Small decisions overwhelm you.
“What’s for dinner?” feels like a board meeting.

8. You look like you’re coping.
You’re functioning.
Working. Showing up. Smiling.
But inside you’re running on fumes.

This isn’t you being dramatic.
It’s not you being “too sensitive.”

It’s a nervous system that’s been in survival for too long.
And high-functioning burnout is sneaky.
You don’t crash.
You just slowly disconnect from yourself.

If you read this and thought… “oh.”
That’s your sign.

Comment RESET or DM me and let’s talk about getting you back to feeling like you again.

You don’t have to keep being the strong one all the time

Recognise this feeling? 😅

Used to be me every single week. Burnout had me surviving, not living.

There is a way to get off that hamster wheel without waiting for Friday. ✨

On the outside, you’re managing.

Work gets done.
People rely on you.
You’re capable. You always have been.

But inside?

You’re tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix.
Your head is noisy.
You think about everything twice.
You put pressure on yourself no one else even sees.
You tell yourself you should be able to handle it better than this.

That’s not weakness.
And it’s not because you’re not trying hard enough.

It’s old survival patterns still running in the background.
I’m Hazel, founder of clearmindwithhazel

I work 1:1 with people who are done just coping.

We gently untangle the patterns behind the burnout, the overthinking, the self-doubt.
We shift the way your mind responds so life doesn’t feel like a constant internal battle.

This isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about feeling like yourself again.
Calm. Clear. In control.

If you want to know how the 1:1 work looks, message me and I’ll talk you through it.

Learning we don’t always need the why, or even the apology, is actually freeing.

For decades I was searching for validation, through relationships, overworking, food, you name it, I probably tried it. No matter the awards, the achievements, the recognition - it was never enough.

Because the people I wanted? They weren’t coming, and they never would.
The moment I realised this and rewired my thoughts around it… freedom. True freedom.

💡 Stop waiting for what will never come. Start giving yourself the peace you deserve today.

17 years ago today I made a choice.

A choice I knew would change my life… and my family’s.

At 26, I found the courage to jump. To make something right that felt wrong. To stop pretending. To stop carrying what wasn’t mine.

But here’s the part I didn’t see at the time…

I jumped into the ocean… and then slowly climbed back into the pool.

For years I’ve carried guilt. Shame. Judgement. Drowning in a story that was never mine to hold.

What happened when I was 13 wasn’t on me.
What happened at 26 wasn’t on me either.

But trauma has a way of convincing you it is.

There’s no coincidence I’ve been single for 15 years.
That day I gave up on a part of my life.
For all the “right” reasons.
But from a wounded place.

And today… it finally clicked.

I was never the fish that didn’t belong in the ocean.
I just kept shrinking myself back into a pool.

This realisation is huge.

Because it means I get to swim free now.

And if you’re sat in a pool that feels too small for you…
You can jump too 🤍

Some of you think this is just “how I am.”
Highly strung. Emotional. Sensitive. Moody. Bad at coping.

Whats actually happening:

When you’ve been holding everything together for years…
your body eventually keeps the score.

Burnout doesn’t always look like collapsing.
Sometimes it looks like functioning… with clenched teeth.

You’re still working.
Still showing up.
Still being the strong one.

But inside?
You’re exhausted from being “on” all the time.

This isn’t weakness.
It’s a nervous system that’s been in survival mode for too long.

And no, you don’t fix that with another to-do list.

If this resonated, just comment RESET 🤍

I used to believe I wasn’t confident.
What I actually lacked was self-worth.

The fear wasn’t out there.
It was in how little I valued myself.

When you recognise your own worth,
you stop shrinking,
stop over-explaining,
and stop settling.

Confidence isn’t louder energy.
It’s quieter self-belief.

If this sounds familiar, you too can walk calmly between the lions DM LION to find out more x

Anxiety isn’t trying to sabotage you. It’s trying to keep you safe.

It gets loud when you’re doing something new, not because you’re incapable, but because you’re expanding.

Next time you feel fear, remind yourself
I’m not scared because I can’t do this
I’m scared because this is growth
And growth always feels uncomfortable before it feels powerful.

Maternity leave changed her life.
Redundancy nearly broke her confidence.

Seeing the 'green banner open to work' online sent her into a fear spiral…
then a few months after returning, that fear became real.
New baby. New pressure. Feeling like a failure.

And still, she found the courage to back herself.
Applied for roles she’d never have dared to before.
Now she’s in a role she loves, earning more… and working fewer hours.

This is what happens when fear stops running the story.

So proud of her.
