for High Achieving Professionals

Recover from burnout and realign your career without starting over

Are you still performing at a high level, but running on empty?

You’re meeting every deadline, carrying the responsibility, and holding it together.

Workplace stress has been building for a long time, and now it’s showing up as:

  • Constant exhaustion and brain fog

  • Disrupted sleep and rising anxiety

  • Dreading work you used to care about

  • A quiet sense that your success no longer feels like yours

That’s not weakness. It’s burnout, and it’s what happens when sustained performance isn’t matched by recovery.

Burnout recovery doesn’t mean pushing harder, taking a long vacation, or walking away from the career you’ve built. It means understanding what caused it, restoring your energy with sustainable habits and boundaries, and realigning your career when needed.

Burnout Coaching With an HR Leader’s Insider Perspective

One of the biggest sources of workplace stress is trying to navigate an environment you don’t fully understand.

I spent nearly 30 years inside corporate organizations, including 20+ years in HR leadership and strategic advisory roles. I understand how these systems work, how decisions get made, and what’s expected but rarely said out loud.

That insight is built into everything we do together. You won’t only recover from burnout. You’ll learn to navigate your workplace with clarity, confidence, and a strategy that protects your well-being and your career.

How Burnout Recovery Coaching Works

  1. Understand: Identify what caused your burnout, from workload and leadership dynamics to your own patterns, so it doesn’t come back.

  2. Restore: Rebuild your energy with sustainable habits and boundaries that fit your real job and your real life.

  3. Realign: Decide what’s next, whether that’s changing how you work, changing roles, or changing careers, with clarity and confidence.

Mindful Career Journey is a structured burnout recovery program that helps you understand what’s driving your burnout and build a sustainable way to work and live.

A complimentary 45 minute session designed to help you identify what’s driving your burnout and what you need next.

With over two decades of HR leadership experience across Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups, I’ve partnered closely with executives, managers, and high-performing professionals in some of the most demanding corporate environments.

I’ve worked inside systems that shape how work actually operates - from performance expectations and leadership dynamics to burnout, restructures, and organizational change. This perspective allows me to understand not only how burnout feels, but why it happens, and what truly supports sustainable change.

Today, I bring that experience into my work supporting high achievers who are ready to restore their energy, gain clarity, and redefine success in a way that honors ambition and well-being.

What Clients Are Saying…

    “I cannot recommend Mindful Career Journey highly enough. This program goes far beyond typical coaching and career advice—what makes it truly exceptional is its deeply thoughtful, human-centered approach to burnout recovery and career realignment. Rather than pushing high performers to “just work harder,” it offers a structured and compassionate framework to restore energy, regain clarity, and redesign how you work in a way that supports long-term well-being and performance. It’s been life changing. Life giving. Ask my wife. I’m a new person both professionally and personally since working with Emily.

    What impressed me most is the way Mindful Career Journey treats career development and burnout as interconnected and holistic phenomena. The founder’s expertise (including long experience in HR leadership at Fortune 500 companies) gives her a rare insider’s understanding of what truly causes chronic burnout—and, equally importantly, how to help professionals overcome it with incremental sustainable habits, a new framework and intentional practices.

    The coaching itself is both strategic and deeply personal. She cares. She listens intently, asks the right questions, and helped me uncover what truly matters in life—not just what looks good on a resume. Whether you’re feeling mentally overloaded, questioning your pace, purpose or are finally ready to realign your career with your values, this curriculum provides clarity, confidence, and momentum in a way that’s rare in the career-coaching space.

    If you’re a high achiever facing burnout or career stagnation, Mindful Career Journey offers not just guidance, but a transformative process that honors your ambition and your well-being simultaneously. I cannot thank Emily enough for how she helped walk me through the steps needed to make a career transition and make me self-aware to not repeat the same mistakes in my new career.”

    “Emily and I came to know each other as I re-entered the workforce after 18 years in corporate America. The year prior, I had taken a sabbatical to focus on my family. I was utterly burnt out. When Emily and I met, we connected immediately. She was open about her own experiences with burnout and deeply understood both my struggles and what I was hoping to call into my next chapter: a fulfilling career that made space for joy outside of work.

    As I returned from sabbatical, Emily became an invaluable coach and mentor. She was laser-focused on helping me avoid the familiar trappings of overwork, performance, and perfection — and ultimately, burnout. She consistently reminded me of my wholeness as a person — that work is a part of my identity, not the whole of it, and that setting boundaries is an act of respect for myself and for the people I love beyond the working world.

    Emily is a true gem as a coach. She is an exceptional listener and incredibly perceptive, always attuned to both what is being said and what is not. She asks the right questions, and when she offers counsel, Emily embodies radical candor. She brings a beautiful blend of clarity and kindness — speaking from the heart with great care, while never leaving you wondering what she's trying to say.

    As I write this, Emily is walking alongside me as I venture into new territory: starting my own business. I leave each conversation feeling steadier and more grounded than before. Most importantly, I’m continually reminded that success does not come from constant hustle — a surefire path to burnout — but from the joyful expression of one’s gifts, pursued in a mindful, intentional way that honors boundaries and realistic measures of success.

    No matter your season of life or what is prompting you to reflect on your career journey, I cannot recommend Emily highly enough.”

She quickly identified my strengths and helped me align them with the right career opportunities. Emily supported me through every stage of the process, offering encouragement, making valuable introductions, and helping me present the best version of myself.

    Thanks to her guidance, my career took a positive and meaningful turn, ultimately leading me to achieve financial freedom for the first time in my life.”

    “Working with Emily was one of the most impactful partnerships I’ve had in my career. As I stepped into a challenging leadership role driving Engineering for our AI initiatives, Emily was instrumental in setting me up for success. She didn’t just provide guidance, she became a strategic partner in navigating the complex interpersonal dynamics of high-growth teams.

    Emily has a remarkable ability to cut through the noise, helping me identify the right levers to lead with confidence, compassion, and clarity. Her coaching helped me develop a strategy to lead high-performing, but occasionally volatile teams while keeping alignment with executive expectations. Much of what I continue to practice today, especially around boundary-setting, feedback, and team structure was shaped by her mentorship.

    Emily is a rare blend of empathy, business acumen, and operational grit. Anyone lucky enough to work with her will find themselves better equipped to lead and grow.”

    “I wanted to change my career path, but I found myself drawn to a position where I had absolutely no experience. I knew the role would capitalize on my strengths, but I was struggling with communicating to potential employers how my past experiences could add value to their firm.

    Then I met Emily and everything changed. She took my past experiences, coupled them with my strengths, and helped me craft a compelling case as to why I was the perfect candidate for the position I wanted. Her coaching inspired me and gave me confidence, which enabled me to communicate effectively during interviews. As a result, I was able to secure the position I desired with the firm I wanted to work for.

    Emily’s guidance not only set me apart from other candidates, but it has also been instrumental in shaping the success I have found in my new career. Her wisdom and encouragement is invaluable and it has helped me grow both professionally and personally.

    I would highly recommend Emily if you are feeling stuck or need help navigating your career. I truly believe she is the best person to help guide you on your path to a new future.”
