Rooted Life

03/11/2026

Hustle till you drop at work? You probably push hard in the rest of life too.

Perfectionist? All-or-nothing mentality? Tend to be really hard on yourself?

Like I said, you’re probably not just that way in your career, it likely extends to other areas of life.

With exercise, this hurts you and holds you back by making burnout WORSE.

Lack of exercise is stressful on your body and mind.

Working out is too hard is stressful, too!

Either approach will ADD to your overall stress load and show up as increased exhaustion, overwhelm, and anxiety.

There’s a season for everything, including exercise.

When in burnout, you need to shift gears and find the sweet spot of MODERATION.

And as you shift the way you do (and think about) exercise, you’ll start shifting in other ways too.

What sort of mindset do you have around exercise? Can you see it show up in other areas of life?

Stop it with the cold plunges and 10-step supplement regimens!

There’s a reason I always recommend basic self-care be your starting point for recovering your energy when you’re burnt out.

Actually, 3 reasons:

1️⃣It’s EASY and doesn’t require making any big decisions or having tough conversations.

2️⃣It has a QUICK ROI - you’ll get your energy back pretty fast, depending on how quickly you take action.

3️⃣It PREPARES YOU FOR THE HARDER WORK that it takes to escape the burnout cycle…
…like setting boundaries, learning to regulate your nervous system and deal with stress, and making potentially life-altering decisions.

Over on my blog, I unpacked the 3 elements that make up foundational self-care and give you your first tangible action steps - so you can start getting back your energy, TODAY.

I'm so thrilled to introduce you to Deanna. And grateful to her for being so vulnerable and allowing me to share her story here.

If you've been feeling so burnt out that you can't imagine a different future, then I invite you to read her story and be inspired.

*Fun fact: Deanna continues to live a happy and healthy life and will be welcoming in a baby girl in just a couple months!

How Deanna transformed from burnt out and barely surviving to thriving in health, career, and life - a THRIVE client case study.

Lately it seems like everywhere I turn, women are beating themselves up.

I hear it from my clients.

I hear it from the women in the somatic mentorship program I joined this year.

And I hear it from myself.

I’ve been pretty dedicated to my daily journaling practice lately and one thing that you tend to get out of journaling is greater self-awareness of the stories that run through your mind on autopilot, including the mean things you say to yourself.

These stories, this inner critic, are the root of so much of the STRESS women bear every day.

Yes, we feel pressure from our jobs, our relationships, and the mess that we call our government.

But even more stressful are the words we use with ourselves.

So again, I’m going to ask you: how can you be NICER to yourself today?

Let me know in the comments.

With the right support, a plan, and a holistic approach that gets to the ROOTS of what’s been burning you out…

…instead of just coping with the symptoms…

you can transform your entire life💜

I got into this work specifically to help women like you recover from burnout faster than you could alone, and permanently.

So if you’re ready for a helping hand, let’s talk.

👉DM me “thrive”, we’ll have a chat, and come up with a plan so that 2026 really does become the year everything changed for you!

Unfortunately, even YOGA, the quintessential stress-relief tool we all know and love love, usually can’t heal burnout.

(At least not on its own).

You need a more comprehensive approach.

Let me give it to you in broad strokes:

1️⃣You need a PLAN and SUPPORT that maps out how you’re going to get from where you currently ARE to where you want to BE.

2️⃣You gotta stop focusing on surface level symptoms and instead treat burnout like the MIND-BODY-SPIRIT condition it truly is.

3️⃣You need to deal with STRESS for *real* - not just with a weekly yoga class. That means minimizing the things that ‘trigger’ your stress response in daily life, AND learning to respond to stressors more calmly.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

So if you- like many women I talk to - have been “doing everything right” and you’re STILL burnt out, it’s not you.

It’s just that you need a different approach.

—> one that gets more to the roots of what got you burnt out in the first place.

If you want to learn more about what that can look like, DM me “MORE” and we can have a quick chat!

When I was burnt out and at my lowest point ever, I found a therapist to help me through it (coaching wasn’t even a thing back then).

Ellen was a rock star! So thankful I found her.
 
(Note: I also had a couple therapists who were NOT good)
 
Fast forward to today: I’m a burnout coach and many of the women I speak with seek me out

A) after having a bad experience with a therapist,
B) because years of therapy has done nothing for them, or
C) because they feel ashamed about seeking therapy.
 
(Maybe you can relate?)
 
So, I feel like this is an important question to dive into: 

⭐️When it comes to burnout recovery, does it make more sense to work with a therapist or with a coach? Or something else? How do you choose?
 
I just published a new blog post that dives deep into these questions- so you can make an informed and confident decision about what kind of help you need, and get it as fast as possible.

One of the MOST IMPACTFUL things I have done to cut stress and stay positive is manage what I give my attention to.

I’m not always successful at it.

I’m a work in progress.

But this morning something just kinda clicked for me, like I reached a higher level of awareness of how valuable my attention really is. So that’s why I’m sharing it here.

I’d love to hear of this resonates at all.

Please don’t wait until you’re at “rock bottom” burnout to start taking charge of the way you take care of yourself, your boundaries, your experience of stress.

Don’t wait till tomorrow (or the next day, or next month) to start making time to live your life. It goes fast.

⭐️Start doing it today.

If you’re not sure how to start, that’s why I created THRIVE - a private coaching program to help high-achieving women recover from burnout, for good.

I’ve walked the path, and I’m here as your guide to help you learn a NEW way to approach your work and life, and create your OWN version of success.

I created THRIVE to offer women like me what I wish I’d had years ago.

If that sounds like what you’re needing right now, I invite you to reach out. Just send me a direct message with the word “THRIVE” and we’ll get to talking.

❤️ Jen
