When You Don't Even Recognise Yourself: How I Got My Spark Back.

Episode Description from the Publisher

You don’t just wake up one day burnt out.You don’t suddenly lose your spark. It happens slowly. Quietly. While you’re still showing up… still getting things done… still functioning. Until one day, you look at yourself and think: I don’t even recognise who I am anymore. If you’ve been feeling flat, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions… this episode is for you.  In this episode I share: The moment I realised I’d lost my spark—and the subtle, high-functioning burnout that got me there. Why burnout doesn’t always look like “falling apart”, and how it shows up in daily life. The real reason you ended up here (and the hard truth behind it). Practical, doable steps to start feeling like you again. Plus, I’ve created a free workbook to help you reset your routine and get your colour back.
