Burnout & Stress Resources
with Empowered Living

You’re dedicated to your family and work, but when it comes to self-care, you’re not sure where to start. You wake up already tired, with a list of tasks waiting, and it feels like you’re on the go from the moment your feet hit the floor.

Or the alarm goes off, and before you know it, you’ve accidentally hit stop instead of snooze. You wake up in a panic, grabbing your phone to check emails, only to find your inbox already overflowing. You’ve got back-to-back meetings today, and you’re already feeling drained, wishing the weekend would just get here. But quitting isn’t an option, so you get up, push through, and somehow make it through the day.

You show up, manage to get through your to-do list, deal with clients—but deep down, you feel unappreciated. You push through a busy day, juggling endless tasks, but it feels like management offers little support when it comes to your health and wellbeing. There’s no guidance, no programs in place—you’re left to figure it all out on your own. But where do you start? Who do you turn to for advice? You know you need to prioritise self-care, but the pressure is overwhelming. How do you begin to build resilience against the mental and physical toll of work?

This is something I see so often in the clinic. After more than 10 years of working with patients, I’ve noticed how the busyness of life can make it so hard to stick to healthy habits. We all know the importance of moving our bodies, eating well, and looking after ourselves, but when we’re in that overwhelmed, burnout state, those good habits tend to fall by the wayside. I get it – I’ve been there myself. There was a time when I was working seven days a week. I love what I do and feel so lucky to help people and their families live pain-free and move better.

Empowered Living is a space dedicated to busy, time-poor individuals who seek health and wellness but don’t know where to start or have too much on their plate to figure it out. That was me. Working seven days a week, dedicated to helping my community, but along the way, autopilot and burnout took over. I felt swamped and disconnected. The sudden diagnosis of my grandfather with stage 4 lung cancer and a stroke was a turning point. Watching him lose his ability to communicate and pass away without sharing his final wishes made me realise how fragile life is. That wake-up call forced me to confront my own lifestyle of overwork and neglect of self-care.

My Journey from Burnout to Balance

My grandfather’s passing pushed me to seek mentorship, embrace mindfulness, and realign with my core values. These changes helped me move from burnout to balance. That’s how Empowered Living was born. Inspired by my own journey and the struggles of healthcare workers, busy professionals, carers, and those who tirelessly look after others while often putting themselves last—I wanted to create a space to help them prioritise their wellbeing.

Empowered Living is built on three pillars:

  • Mindfulness: Finding peace in the present moment and breaking free from constant stress.
  • Balance: Reclaiming time and energy to focus on what truly matters.
  • Wellbeing: Nurturing physical health, emotional resilience, and a sense of purpose.

Empowered Living isn’t just about managing stress; it’s about creating a fulfilling, sustainable life where we thrive personally and professionally. I’m committed to helping caregivers become the CEOs of their lives, mastering stress, and finding balance.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, I invite you to explore Empowered Living and discover how it can support your journey to a healthier, more balanced life.
