Burnout has become the norm—especially for high-achieving women trying to do it all. This post explores the 6 subtle signs you’re burned out (even if you’re “holding it together”) and introduces ACT: a science-backed, values-based therapy approach that helps you break free from overwhelm and start living with intention.

If you’ve been trying to push through burnout and force change without results, it’s time to pause. This post offers a practical first step: tracking your behavior using an ACT-informed ABC model. With clarity—not judgment—you’ll begin to notice what’s really happening beneath the surface, so you can stop guessing and start moving forward with intention.

Sometimes the strategies that once helped you cope—perfectionism, people-pleasing, overanalyzing—start to backfire. You find yourself stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from the life you actually want.

This post explores how small, values-based pivots rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you break free from rigid patterns and reconnect with what really matters. It’s not about overhauling your life—it’s about choosing a new direction, one small step at a time.
