Does any of this SOUND FAMILIAR?
Tired and wired tension: A crushing mix of sleeplessness, chronic exhaustion, anxiety, and background dread
Internal boil: Snapping, resentment, impatience, even rage with people you love.
Two modes: You’re either working, or recovering from work. Caregiving, or recovering from caregiving. Burning out or checking out.
Body riots: hair loss, GI issues, eczema and autoimmunity flares, memory failures, always too cold or too hot, heart palpitations, biomarkers are off
Numbing: screens, drinks, spending, sugar, checking out, movement extremes (couch potato or fidget-frenzy cardio and overtraining).
Loneliness: suffering in silence because everyone thinks you have it together, there’s too much only you can do, no one can really help.
And the biggest one: “I don’t care”.
You’ve lost the thread. You used to care - a lot - about your job, your friends, your causes, yourself. But now it’s an obligation, at best.
You’re wondering, why bother? Is anything I’m doing making a difference?
HOW MANY of these BURNOUT MULTIPLIERS APPLY to YOU?
Parents, especially with younger kids, higher needs kids, or kids in moments of major transition
Neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injuries)
Person of color in the US, or a predominantly white culture
Athlete, current or former
LGBTQIA+ - Queer, trans, and/or gender non conforming
Mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, and substance use
Trauma history, including love conditioned on performance, peace, and perfection
Highly Sensitive Person, everything is louder, brighter, more painful, and un-ignorable for you - at baseline
Fear-based beliefs: Identity based on productivity and achievement, worth tied to serving only other’s needs, people pleasing, conflict avoidance, co-dependence, etc.
You’ve tried it ALL…
Just decide: “Tonight’s the night I’ll stop scrolling and finally go to bed on time.”
Work harder: Just clear the to-do list, the inbox, the sink, the bottomless bucket of other people’s priorities. Or maybe: how hard can I make this workout without actually dying?
“Resting”: Like you’re “supposed to”, but mostly feeling guilty, anxious, and obligated.
Delegating: But it backfires into more work, and life fills in new space.
More! Discipline! Planners, productivity systems, lists, so many lists.
Enlisting help: Family, spouse, kids, babysitter, cleaners - but now you’re COO of Managing Help.
Self-blame: “You have a thousand things to do, why are you still paralyzed in your parked car, robotically scrolling Instagram?!”

You didn’t see it coming, but here you are. The bone-deep, joy-sucking exhaustion of burnout.
The good news? You can rebuild.
But it’s much harder without help, without changing the same patterns that got you here.
Ready to breathe again? Let’s Talk.
let’s MEET KIM
I’ve been where you are - utterly overwhelmed, snapping at my kids, rushing to and through everything, numbing with screens and cardio and conflict avoidance. Waking up with dread at the gauntlet ahead of me.
If I just. “If I just get through this launch, if I just find the right babysitter, if I just say no to half my meetings…it’ll be manageable again.”
When it only got worse and even the things I used to love felt impossibly hard, I blamed myself. Not disciplined enough. Not smart enough. Not cut out. I changed jobs, several times, but nothing really changed.
Because I wasn’t changing. I wasn’t hearing the message of burnout: “It’s not your fault. You’re swimming in systems designed to ask more of you than you can possibly give, and to make you think you’re the problem. And - this is too much.”
When I finally heard the message, my burnout lifted, for good.
I discovered how to truly recover and never go back - and now I help others do the same. From overwhelmed to flourishing, we’ll get there together. Ready to break free?
MORE ABOUT KIM
GET TAILORED, ACTIONABLE STEPS to RECOVER FROM BURNOUT and NEVER GO BACK.
After working with Kim, you will have the tools to:
Rest. Plan and experience real rest and burnout recovery - not just a random day off, not a family vacation you organize and then drag yourself through. Tools to embed real, regenerative, nervous-system rest and reset into your actual - not far-off fantasy - life.
Recognize yourself. Who are you under the burnout, behind the behaviors and patterns and stories that came along for the ride? What does this person actually want and need to move from survive to thrive?
Relaunch. Relaunching without those first two steps - rest and meeting who you actually are - is a fast train back to burnout.
But once you have tasted calm and joy again, and uncovered your natural grain, you’ll be able to build a Full Body Yes vision for yourself.
You’ll have a clear, heart-aligned plan and burnout resilience tools to make the next step the best step.
If you’ve done your best but are still overwhelmed, chronically exhausted, numbing, or awash in confusion and fog and indecision:
It’s not your fault, but it won’t get better on it’s own.
It’s time to try something new.

This is not your typical twenty minute high pressure all talk and tactics sales call. This is a conversation that will:
Help you, and me, understand why you’re really here, what you really need from coaching
Start building a vision for what your future self wants. Not what your boss wants from you, what society wants from you, what your mom wants from you - what YOU want from you.
If it feels good for both of us, I’m happy to tell you about how I work with clients and figure out next steps - even if they aren’t with me.
We cover a lot here, and I show up with - and will invite you into - grounded presence to do my one job on this call: help you make a decision about whether you’re committed to change right now, and whether you want to partner with me in that change.
It is 100% okay if you’re not. I’ll be here when you are. We’ll talk about how burnout shows up for you, its costs, and what a recovery plan could look like.
Burnout creeps up slowly, and recovery isn’t instant. Let’s make sure your’e ready for change, coaching is the right approach, and I’m the right coach for you.

"Kim is an amazing coach. Her ability to share space and follow along with me felt like what I was concerned about mattered to her. She asks the best questions to get me thinking deeper about the situation and to be able to reframe my perspective around it. Her coaching is so good that I was even able to use one of her reframes on my daughter that evening! Thanks Kim for your time and care. Forever grateful. "

"Kim cracked me wide open. One session rocked me for a solid three days—in a good way! I kept telling everyone how powerful it was. The insight I gained during our time together completely reshaped my perspective on an emotional struggle I’ve had for years. I walked away with a newfound compassion for my personal experiences that I can now carry forward. Kim has an incredible ability to tap into deep emotional experiences, narratives, and energies with both compassion and warmth.

Working with Kim has been so helpful for me as a parent. I’m trying to find myself again as my kids need me less. Kim is helping me be intentional about facing this new phase, rather than just blundering through."

"What an experience, Kim. The somatic work was my favorite part. As emotional and hard as it was, I felt so safe with you. You really held space for me, and I appreciate that."

WHAT HELP DO YOU NEED?
Individual 1:1 Coaching
You can only make so much progress on your own, especially when you’re stuck in the fog of burnout.
Kim will meet you where you are with warmth, safety, and clarity. You’ll experience and build tools for real rest and finally find your path to sustainable impact.
Recovery takes time, but it takes a lot more time if you don’t do the right work, early on.Tailored, focused, steady coaching can uncover a whole new version of yourself and launch you into flourishing, sustainable success, for good.
Keynote Speaking
We think burnout is failure - we couldn’t hack it, we didn’t try hard enough. But really, burnout is a just a loud, late signal of a misaligned system.
Employees, employers, parents, families, school communities, collective power orgs - all of us got us here, and it will take all of us to get out, and stay out.
Kim’s high-energy, warm, and unconventional style will brighten your team and show how individuals and groups can together become burnout resilient.
Workshops and Training
Wouldn’t it be nice if one person’s growth were enough? But lasting change to a system that harbors burnout happens together, in teams, in community.
Kim will lead your team through experiences designed to both see our individual role in burnout culture, and to spot the system behaviors, incentives, and unnoticed junk that feed the burnout cycle.
Participants leave knowing how to bring their own burnout resilience to the group, and how to “care for the collective” by spotting and swapping out burnout behaviors.

KIM’S KEYNOTE TOPICS
Masking and Burnout
Masking - adjusting how we dress, how we speak, what we do to match a context - is part of life. But some of us have to do that a lot more than others, just to get by:
Neurodivergent folks (ADHD, Autism, other sensory processing challenges)
People of color
Women
Queer people
++Anyone in more than one of these buckets
Too much masking is soul-draining and bank account draining.
This keynote will teach you two research-backed skills that significantly reduces the drag, and thus your chance of burnout.: 1. know all the costs (even the hidden ones) and 2. control whether you pay them, when you can.
How to See, Make, and Love Your Decisions
Feel stuck? Sometimes, it’s because we don’t even know a decision is there, waiting to be made.
If you’ve ever found yourself talking about “getting by”, “it is what it is”, or “can’t complain” - you’re probably buried in hidden commitments and default decisions.
No more. In this keynote, we’ll diagnose decision-blindness and teach you how to consciously decide with confidence, clarity, and joy.
Burnout Is Expensive!
Burnout drains bank accounts - stress-related medical bills, lost promotions, spending on temporary relief.
Emotionally, it erodes relationships, triggers anxiety and depression, spreads across teams, and kills the passion that drove collective achievement, individual career dreams, and lives of ease and joy.
You pay twice: with your wallet and your wellbeing. We’ll uncover these hidden costs of burnout and map a path to becoming burnout-resilient.
