Some days work looks like…

Why Dr. Jess to help with your burnout?

Because I get it personally and professionally. Here’s my story:

I know that burnout can hit at any stage in life and is not reserved for your mid 40’s or a mid-life crisis.

For me, it was my mid-twenties when I found myself completely drained of all things life.

My intense work life as a therapist, providing endless hours of therapy and carrying a large emotional load, ultimately led me to a state of total burnout —- you know, the kind that’s really bad and to fix your whole life has to implode?!

I was fed up from feeling tired - exhausted, lost, stuck, and like the world was constantly on my shoulders. So, I decided that no matter what it would cost (expensive turns out), no matter what it would take (a bit more than I thought it would)…

I’d fix this work plague for myself and others.

My solution? I ditched the boyfriend, relocated to a new city in pursuit of my PhD (and answers), and set out on my mission. I became an expert in burnout and meaning making, but just as I was rounding the corner of completing my studies and ramping up in a high profile consulting job, it hit me…

I had pushed so hard, that familiar foe found me… AGAIN.
I’d totally burned myself out. D’oh!

This time I was prepared. I knew the signs, how to get unstuck, and how to recoup some energy quickly (without blowing up my entire life and everything I worked so hard for).

Now, I have a healthy career that I happen to love. And now that burnout has gotten unfortunately trendy, I’m trying to share even more of my best tips to help everyone avoid the most common career mistakes, saving an incredible amount of time, money, and frustration along the way.

Your job doesn’t have to burn you to keep it lit.
I help people ignite their spark, just like I did for myself.
With no burn.

I have learned…

Work is what you make it.
So, I’ve made mine something I like.

I understand that the entrepreneurial life is not for everyone, but it is one that suits me fairly well. It enables me to live out my passions, have balance for my intellectual pursuits and for the things that give me the creative spark. It also allows me to attend to what’s important to me outside of my career life.

The big pieces of of a work life I love:

  • Coaching - helping individuals make the most out of their careers (and lives) makes me happy. Saving people the time and frustration that I went through burning out brings me great satisfaction.

  • Consulting & Teaching - working with leaders and companies who want to have human-centered practices helps me make a difference in the corporate fabric. When we know better we do better. I love learning and teaching in all forms.

  • Managing the gallery and team at Firehouse Glass - growing up in the art business has taught me a lot practically about running a business, but has also paved the way for my own creative and professional outlets, and an awesome team I get to help support in my local arts community.

  • My own creative endeavors - my home office is also a creative space. That’s why it’s yellow (my favorite color), its bright, sunny, and it sparks joy and energy for me. I need to make time to craft, do glass work, sew, or otherwise get in touch with my creative side to feel grounded.
