You’re not burned out.
You’re running on borrowed everything.
Borrowed urgency. Borrowed energy. Borrowed time.
And wondering why you can’t think straight when it’s finally your turn.
You’ve optimized your calendar. Tried the apps. Done the morning routines.
You’re still foggy at 2pm, grinding until 9pm, and waking up with a to-do list that belongs to everyone but you.
The problem isn’t discipline. It’s that you’ve been solving the wrong problem.
I help high-achieving women reclaim the cognitive capacity their work depends on — starting with the 45 minutes in the middle of their day they keep giving away.
The Pattern I See
Every woman I work with has the same signature:
She can tell you exactly what her kid ate for breakfast. She protects everyone else’s time, everyone else’s deadlines, everyone else’s emergencies.
Ask her what she ate for lunch? Blank stare.
She’s not lazy. She’s loyal. To everyone but herself.
And that loyalty has a cost:
- The 3pm crash she powers through with caffeine
- The 9pm grind because nothing compounded during the day
- The decisions at 4pm her 9am self wouldn’t recognize
- The growing sense that she’s capable of so much more — if she could just think clearly
The Unexpected Fix
Here’s what I’ve learned after 20 years of this work:
The woman who doesn’t take up space at the table doesn’t take up space in the room.
It begins with this: one warm, protected, sit-down lunch — eaten on time, without screens, as a kept promise to yourself — and it changes everything downstream.
Not because of the nutrition (though that matters). But because of what it requires:
- Saying no to protect something
- Communicating that you’re unavailable
- Keeping a promise to yourself when no one’s watching
- Receiving what you said you needed
That’s not a meal. That’s sovereignty training. Three times a day.
The fog lifts. The 3pm steadies. The decisions sharpen. And you start finishing by 6pm instead of grinding until 9pm — not because you worked harder, but because you finally had the capacity to work well.
What Changes
My clients don’t just “feel better.” They reclaim 15-20 hours per week they were losing to brain fog, decision fatigue, and afternoons that never compounded.
Susan, Freelance Creative
Came to me medicated and unable to work. Within 6 months: off her medication, writing for Rolling Stone and major publications. Her rhythm came back, then her career.
Rachel, Nonprofit Founder
Spent years teaching kids’ theater in a church basement, knowing she had something bigger but unable to access it. Through our work: found her voice, raised millions in funding, built a team, created a legacy organization that continues today.
Maria, RN & Mother
Serious adrenal issues and difficulty with son. Within 6 months the friction lifted with her son, and her doctor confirmed dramatic improvement, saying whatever she’s doing, keep doing it. “The only thing that changed,” she told me, “was working with you.”
Jennifer, Designer
Woke with dread every morning despite a “successful” life. Within 90 days: dread gone, clarity restored, daily peace.
Who This Is For
Corporate executives. Entrepreneurs. Creatives. High-achieving mothers.
Anyone with stakes, standards, and a 3pm that keeps betraying them.

About
I spent my early career on the CME trading floor hedging Eurodollar options — where split-second decisions and nervous system regulation meant everything.
In 2001, my daughter was sick for 10 months, and specific food shifts worked within days. And it worked for me too. I didn’t even know I was unwell. Until then, I thought the fog and the drag was normal.
That was my wake-up call: most high-achieving women aren’t “failing” because they lack discipline — they’re running on borrowed urgency, borrowed energy, borrowed time.
For the past 20 years, I’ve studied Kundalini Yoga, Ayurvedic protocols, and the science of how physiology drives performance.
Today, I help women restore cognitive capacity by rebuilding rhythm in the middle of the day — starting with one warm, protected lunch. Not as “wellness.” As sovereignty training.
I speak both languages: business and biology. Performance and what sustains it.
