Work was making me sick and here's why
Hello,
​
I was afraid to be myself at work. I knew I might face demeaning or dismissive behaviour so I played the game to get ahead. I became a nationally awarded executive who thought tolerating this type of stress was just part of being a “career female.”
Replaying situations where I was harassed and verbally minimized fueled an engine of overthinking. I over-exercised and struggled with periods of intense anxiety and disordered eating.
Changing jobs several times over a 12-year period only reinforced my belief that suffering like this at work was just something women had to experience. I would have spent the rest of my working years living with this assumption without the compassionate feedback of a mentor.
Learning how to use my emotions more effectively to build confidence and challenge my ideas of risk were the catalyst to creating a new work reality. And this created the mental freedom for me to really be present in my personal life and dream again.
My mission is to help you realize that living your best life is only possible when you are truly ready to take the risk of being yourself with the support and compassion of like-minded women. I'm looking forward to our journey together.
​
Live Your Best Life,
Anessa
