From Burnout to Breakthrough: Why I Created Me.E.O. Coaching & Consulting

There was a time in my life when I had everything I had worked for—an incredibly successful multinational licensing business, a growing family, and what seemed like limitless personal and professional growth. I had just welcomed my daughter into the world with little to no maternity leave, got married, and was managing a business that was scaling at an exponential rate. My life was a whirlwind of change, responsibility, and ambition.

On paper, I was winning.

But in reality, I was drowning.

I was giving 100% to my business, my family, and my responsibilities—but not to myself. The expectations I placed on myself were relentless. The constant juggling act of entrepreneurship and family left me exhausted, depleted, and barely holding on. I kept telling myself that this was just the price of success—that I could keep pushing, keep grinding, keep sacrificing.

And then, the pandemic hit.

The world came to a screeching halt, and with it, so did my business. I made the heartbreaking decision to close my company, a business I had poured years of my life into. I had built something extraordinary, but at the cost of my own well-being. The reality hit me hard: I had been running on empty for too long, and it was time to take back control of my life.

That was my reckoning. That was my turning point.

Instead of staying stuck in loss and burnout, I decided to turn my pain into purpose—and then into power. I knew I wasn’t alone in this struggle. I knew there were other entrepreneurs, leaders, and high-achievers out there who were silently suffering, pushing themselves to the brink while neglecting their own needs. That realization led me to create Me.E.O. Coaching & Consulting: a mission-driven company designed to help others avoid (or recover from) burnout and build sustainable success.

The Six Steps of Me.E.O. Coaching

Me.E.O. isn’t just about coaching—it’s about transformation. It’s about helping entrepreneurs, corporate teams, and individuals take charge of their lives so they can show up fully in their careers, businesses, and families. At the core of my coaching methodology are six powerful steps:

  1. Reckoning (Pain to Purpose to Power!)
    The first step is about facing the truth. Where are you struggling? What patterns keep showing up? Recognizing where you are stuck and how you got there is the first step toward real change. It’s about turning pain into fuel for transformation.

  2. Future Self Vision
    If you don’t know where you’re going, how can you get there? This step is about gaining clarity on your long-term vision—who you want to become, how you want to feel, and what kind of life you want to build.

  3. Boundaries
    You can’t pour from an empty cup. Setting boundaries in business, family, and personal life is crucial. This step is about defining what is truly important and learning to say NO to what drains you.

  4. Accountability
    Change doesn’t happen without action. Accountability is what keeps you committed. Whether it’s through personal discipline, a mentor, or a community, having systems in place to stay on track is vital.

  5. Set It & Forget It
    We often waste energy constantly making the same decisions. This step is about creating sustainable habits and systems so that taking care of yourself and your priorities becomes effortless.

  6. Community & Council
    Success isn’t meant to be a solo journey. Surrounding yourself with the right people—mentors, peers, coaches, and a support system—ensures you stay aligned, inspired, and connected.

Why This Matters—For Entrepreneurs, Leaders & Teams

The hard truth is that if you don’t take care of yourself first, everything else suffers—your business, your job, your family, and your overall well-being. Burnout isn’t just an individual issue; it impacts organizations, teams, and entire industries. I’ve seen too many brilliant people lose themselves to exhaustion, and I refuse to let that be the norm.

Me.E.O. Coaching is about reclaiming power—your power—to lead, to grow, and to succeed in a way that is both fulfilling and sustainable. Whether you're an entrepreneur trying to scale, a leader managing a team, or a high-performer navigating life’s challenges, the six-step framework ensures that you don’t just survive—you thrive.

I built Me.E.O. out of necessity, from my own reckoning, but now, it’s a movement. It’s time to be the CEO of your life.
