About Me

Meet the reluctant burnout to balance experts. How did we end up with this dubious distinction? We were busy professionals, busy women, very busy, living overwhelming, pressured, over-stressed, highly achieving and successful lives. We juggled a thriving private practice, teaching commitments, graduate school, the business end of business, writing books and articles, aging parents, family life, and anything else we could squeeze into the mix.

At the same time as we were becoming “experts” in a whole different area of women's’ lives (self-identity and eating disorders), we were also unknowingly becoming long-term burnouts, chalking up burnout points with every “yes” we said. When we finally woke up and smelled the coffee (and not just for the caffeine jolt) life changed, and we decided and developed our own way to go from burnout to balance to bliss…and that’s what this blog is about.
