Are You Feeling Overworked?

Do you ever find yourself feeling trapped or completely burned out after work? Do you even consider quitting your job because you don’t know if you can take it anymore? 

I know the feeling because I have been there. Here’s my story. 

I had plans to meet friends on a Tuesday afternoon. Instead, I bailed. If that didn’t make me feel bad enough, I sat in my office after skipping another lunch and questioned what I was doing wrong. I followed my workday by skipping my workout to work more, ordering takeout, and watching Netflix to de-stress. I woke up on the couch feeling TRAPPED knowing that I would have to do it all over again.

At that point in my property management career, I had no work-life balance. I had a high-paying job and a fancy title, but I had no life. At least, I did not have the life I was looking to live. Then, things got worse. I got sick and got hit with thousands of dollars in medical bills and felt like I was losing my purpose in life. The financial security I had worked so hard for was gone in the blink of an eye. 

You might be wondering how I dug myself out of this dark place. I didn’t know what to do, so I surrendered. I looked outside for help. I did some research and hired my first coach. She helped me gain so much perspective!  She taught me that the stress, anxiety, and burnout I experienced was optional. I didn’t believe her at the time, but I can tell you now that she was completely and utterly right! 

With lots of patience, she helped me learn how to take control of my health and show up to work as my best self. Learning the art of work-life balance and self-care trickled into my personal life, too!  It took a long time, but I learned to love myself again, and I learned to love my job again. To be honest, I finally had time to live my life again! 

Working with my first coach was LIFE CHANGING. I realized that I was in love with the Property Management Industry and that I could help others in the same way that my coach helped me. So, what did I do? I left my job to become a coach. I realized that I have a true passion for helping property managers find peace and happiness and that I want to help as many people as possible! 

If my story sounds familiar, it’s time to take a hard look at the life you want to live. It may be time for you to take a deep breath and find someone who can give you an outside perspective. It may be time to surrender and hire a coach. I've been there, and I'm here to help.
