She said something that stopped me in my tracks:

“Your thoughts create your feelings, which drive your actions and shape your results. And your thoughts? They’re optional.”

That was my turning point.

I began to uncover the core belief that had been quietly driving everything: I’m not good enough.

This belief had fueled my career — pushing me to over-deliver, overwork, and never feel satisfied. It had shaped my relationships — where I’d abandon my needs and seek validation. And it had kept me locked in a cycle of burnout, stress, and self-doubt.

Once I understood the real cause of my overwhelm, everything changed. I didn’t need to quit my job or lower my ambition. I simply needed to stop believing the thought, that I wasn’t enough.

Now, I’ll be honest—initially a part of me worried, I thought if: “I’m not good enough” is no longer my fuel... will I stop pushing myself? Will my performance drop?

Happily, the opposite happened.

I became more successful and more energised—because I was no longer working to prove I was good enough. I could simply do my job because I genuinely loved doing it. I loved challenging myself, learning new things, solving problems, driving outcomes. That never needed to be forced.

Once I stopped believing I wasn’t good enough, I could return to loving my job—without the stress, overwhelm, and burnout.

So why am I sharing this with you?

Because uncovering those hidden beliefs, thoughts, and patterns I wasn’t even aware of, is what allowed me to reduce my stress and truly enjoy my high-pressure executive roles.

I didn’t need to give up my career. I didn’t need to meditate daily or go all-in on yoga.
I didn’t need to “just relax” or reduce my to do list.

What I needed was to uncover and understand the belief that was creating the stress and overwhelm.

My role didn’t need to change.

I just needed to uncover what was getting in the way of me enjoying my job, my relationships—
and, really, my life.
