Dear Stacey . . .
Dear Stacey,
You’re drowning in everything to do.
Slow down for a moment.
Take a deep breath.
Know that you’re worthy and good enough.
It’s amazing how you have been showing up.
But something has to give.
You have too much on your plate.
The answer isn’t working harder.
You must say no to what matters less.
You must no longer sacrifice what matters more.
There is a better way.
You will feel like yourself again.
You will lead even stronger.
You will enjoy your days far more.
See, this is urgent and necessary.
It’s your life we are talking about.
No one is coming to save you.
It starts with you.
And right now, something has to give.
Do not settle for the way things are.
You’ve got this.
Love, Stacey
This is what I would have told myself a few years ago.
If you’re feeling this way, know that you’re not alone and there is a path to being happy, balanced and successful.
If you knew how to fix it and change your perspective, you’d have done it already.
It’s not that you don’t want to change it - it’s that you don’t know how. All kinds of emotions bubble up when you start saying no (or even yes - which can be terrifying).
But you don’t have to do it alone. In fact, alone often makes it all feel overwhelming and hopeless.
I’ve been where you are. And I’ve found a way out.
I’d love to support you.
All my best,
What Next?
