Burnt Out to Lit Up
Burnout Breakthrough for Women Who Do It All
Feeling exhausted from doing it all for everyone else? In this powerful live session, I was joined by the radiant Viktoria Chervenkova as we unpacked the hidden causes of burnout and people pleasing and lit a path back to joy, freedom, and balance. Watch the replay below and read on for some of the biggest takeaways.
Free Workshop Session for Women 40+
I’m Lauren, and I help people-pleasing, over-achieving women in midlife reclaim their light.
In this FREE masterclass, I’ll share:
- ✅ My personal story of burnout and how I found my way back to joy
- ✅ The 3 mindset shifts that changed everything
- ✅ How to stop over-giving and start prioritizing your well-being
What’s Really Burning You Out?
“Trying out other people’s paths and strategies that I simply… I don’t feel I’m a match for.” — Viki Chervenkova
We started by identifying the root of burnout. Viki shared how constantly hopping from one strategy to another, especially those that felt out of alignment, like cold DMs, was draining her energy.
Insight: Sometimes it’s not the work that burns us out, it’s the way we’re trying to do it.
Overthinking, Overdoing, and the Need to Reset
“Burnout takes the form for me of too much overthinking… I feel it like stress in my head.” — Viki
If you’ve ever found your head buzzing with ideas, to-dos, and what-ifs, you’re not alone. One of the biggest lessons in this session was recognizing the signs before the stress spreads through your body.
I guided Viki (and our live audience) through a simple PQ Rep exercise to shift from mental noise to grounded presence in just 2 minutes.
What Burnout Looks Like for Different People
- My burnout included physical symptoms (migraines, sciatica, back pain, depression) even while doing work I loved, a key point for high performers.
- Viki’s burnout showed up as mental overdrive — a buzzing head from overthinking and overstimulation from conflicting advice and strategies.
“Sometimes you have to let go of the thing that once lit you up… to find something that lights you up even more.”
Rewiring the Guilt of Self-Care
“I give myself permission to travel more… to read more… to not feel guilty when I take care of myself.” — Viki
This session wasn’t just about identifying burnout — it was about giving ourselves permission to shift. Viki realized she was giving more than she had to give in areas like her kids’ school commitments and silencing parts of herself just to avoid conflict.
Mindset Shifts from My Burnout Story
In the second half of the session, I shared my own burnout breakthrough. From loving my massage therapy career to realizing I had to let it go. Some of the key mindset shifts I shared:
- Rest isn’t lazy — it’s leadership.
- I matter as much as all the people I love.
- Letting go of what you love isn’t failure. It’s freedom.
- Giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin.
Write Your Own Permission Slip
At the end of the session, we invited everyone to write their own “Permission Slip”.
I give myself permission to… ?
Make a commitment to doing what truly lights you up.
Why This Matters So Much to Me
I created this session because I’ve lived this story.
I know what it feels like to be the one holding it all together, smiling on the outside, crumbling on the inside.
I know the exhaustion and overwhelm that comes from always saying yes, from feeling like there’s no room for your needs, your dreams, or even your rest.
For years, I thought burnout was just part of being a “good woman.” A good daughter. A good businesswoman. A good mother. A good wife. A good friend.
But that’s a lie. We weren’t born to burn out. We were born to light up the world.
It took a full-on collapse, physical, emotional, and spiritual, before I realized that constantly giving without receiving wasn’t sustainable. And it certainly wasn’t loving. Not to myself. Not to anyone.
This masterclass is my love letter to the woman who’s ready to come home to herself.
It’s a soft place to land.
It’s a wake-up call.
It’s a permission slip to ask yourself, What about me? and answer…
Why not me? I matter. It’s my turn.
I deserve to give everything I give to everyone else, to myself too.
Whether you’re already in the burnout zone or just feeling the early signs of depletion, this space is for you.
Together, we’ll explore how to reconnect with your inner spark and begin the journey from burnt out… to lit up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need to wait until you hit rock bottom.
You just need a moment to pause, reflect, and remember who you are and what lights you up.
This session is that moment.
You’ll leave with practical tools, a fresh perspective, and a renewed sense of what’s possible for your life.
And maybe… just maybe… you’ll feel a little more seen, a little more supported, and a lot more you.
