Is this you?

I was tired of trying to be all things to all people. I was tired of feeling stressed out all the time.

I’ll admit I’ve been a people pleaser and a bit of a perfectionist. I hold myself to a high standard.  

I was a mother, a boss, a wife and daughter trying to manage my house, my family, my job, and my team at a time when there seemed to be no certainty and every other week there was yet another layoff at work.

The environment at work was depressing. I was constantly saying goodbye to people I liked and had enjoyed working with for years. I was undoing things I spent years developing and putting into place.

I was trying to stay positive, motivate my team and help them through the changes due to acquisition. We were learning the new company’s procedures and system as we were transitioning while still maintaining and using our own.

We needed to continue to do our jobs and keep the business running.

I was traveling for work often. I felt like there was no such thing as work life balance.

I was struggling to keep up with everything. I was starting to run on autopilot.

Frankly, I was really tired of trying to be superwoman.

Does this sound like you?
