If you are a professional, executive or entrepreneur (usually adults between 35-50) struggling to balance work, family and personal development, all while trying to progress your career, hit sales or project goals, and maintain relationships. Your work may also be soul sucking, especially if you are in a toxic environment where you leave drained, dispassionate, and defensive. Often with limited time and energy, self-care, relationships, and sense of identity/purpose are neglected; this leads to burnout, feeling "stuck", and exhaustion. Last, when we add mental health emotional challenges such anxiety, depression, or anger our productive can suffer, relationships can strain, and our self confidence plummets. At the end of the day you may feel lost, frustrated and fed up.
