Why January 5th Was Your Real Quitters Day (And What That Means for HADA Women)

"Quitters Day"—January 19th—when 80% of people abandon their New Year's resolutions.

But for high-achieving, deeply attuned women? The real quitting happened on January 5th.

In my article, I break down:

✓ Why January 5th is the actual quit date for HADA women ✓ What dual operating systems have to do with burnout cycles
✓ Why your nervous system won't let you rest (even when you know you need to) ✓ The different question we need to be asking

This one's for the women who are exhausted from pushing through, ashamed for "failing" at self-care, and wondering what's wrong with them.

Stop voting against yourself

It’s important to vote. And I will. You should, too.

But I’m going to guess you’re in the habit of voting for everything and everyone but yourself.

On this Election Day, it’s important to know that you’ve already been placing your vote. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Pruning season is here

As high achievers, let’s just say our default is to soldier on and white knuckle through to the next project, ticking off our goals and moving on to new ones.

That’s just how we roll. We get S#!% done!

And even so, I’m going to ask you to make a switch in your approach, so you can end the year strong.

Can you even recognize contentment?

Honestly, I’m growing tired of Instagram, Facebook and now even LinkedIn, telling me that if I’m not happy or joyful, something’s wrong with me.

We hear that if we’re not happy, we need to make some changes. (get a degree, join that group, buy those cute shoes).

Mid Year Pause

If it feels like everyone wants a piece of you… YOU’RE RIGHT!!!

In June, Gallup released their “State of the Global Workplace”’ report and the data indicated that global engagement stagnated and employee wellbeing declined. Both of these data points are at an all time high!

Our approach to life clearly isn’t working. So what do we do about it?

Both of these findings are at or near record highs!!
