Reclaim Your Energy at Work Intensive
Individualized 30-Day Support to Stop the Drain & Start Feeling Like Yourself Again
You're exceptional at what you do. People rely on you.
You're the person who sees what needs to happen before anyone else does. Who holds things together when they're falling apart. Who can navigate complex dynamics and make the impossible work. Your colleagues trust you, your boss depends on you, and your results speak for themselves.
But behind the scenes? You're barely holding on.
Your eyes open and immediately your mind is spinning—mentally going through everything you need to do, everything that could go wrong.
In every meeting, you're doing two jobs: the actual work and the emotional work—tracking who's upset, who needs smoothing over, where the next conflict is coming from. You end up dealing with problems no one asked you to solve and soaking up everyone else's stress.
By evening, you're too tired to do anything but collapse on the couch, scroll mindlessly, or pour another glass of wine. You snap at your partner over nothing– then feel guilty about that too.
Meanwhile, your colleagues seem to clock out and have lives outside of work. They don't lie awake rehearsing difficult conversations. They're not carrying the weight of everyone's unspoken needs.
And you think: Maybe I'm just not cut out for this. Maybe everyone else has figured out something I haven't.
If you're reading this and feeling a quiet yes in your body, this doesn't mean there is something wrong with you—it means you're honoring what your body has been trying to tell you: that another way is possible.
You didn't sign up for burnout. You want to do meaningful work, make an impact, and actually have a life outside of your job.
But at some point, the balance tipped. Work started asking more of you than you knew how to give sustainably.
You're holding the team together emotionally. In meetings, you’re tracking far more than the agenda — who’s frustrated, who needs reassurance, what tension is brewing, what’s being left unsaid.
You solve problems that aren’t technically yours to solve. You smooth things over. You hold space. You fill gaps. You adjust yourself so others don’t get uncomfortable.
This invisible work drains you. And the worst part? Nobody even realizes you're doing it.
You're terrified that if you pull back—if you stop managing everyone's feelings or stop saying yes to everything—things will unravel:
• People will think you're not a team player
• You'll be seen as difficult or high-maintenance
• You'll disappoint the people who count on you
• You'll lose the reputation you've worked so hard to build
• Everything you've been holding together will fall apart
So you keep going. Keep accommodating. Keep carrying more than your share.
And the exhaustion just keeps building.
When Work Keeps Taking More Than It Gives
You've tried the usual fixes. More sleep. Better boundaries (that somehow dissolve the moment someone asks you for something). Time-blocking your calendar (while still saying yes to "quick" requests that derail your day). Telling yourself to just care less.
Maybe you've even fantasized about quitting everything—moving to a little cottage by the ocean in Costa Rica, spending your days painting watercolors and writing poetry, finally having time to breathe.
But the depletion keeps returning—because you haven't identified and addressed the actual sources of the drain.
This isn't about needing more willpower. It's about energy depletion from a very specific set of patterns.
And these patterns exist at the intersection of who you are and the system you're operating within.
Here's the truth: You're not failing. You're not weak. You're not "too much."
You're depleted because:
• Your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. You've been operating in fight-or-flight for so long that your body doesn't remember what safety feels like.
• Your natural gifts are being used against you. Your empathy, your conscientiousness, your ability to anticipate needs—these are strengths. But they're also being exploited by systems that expect you to give endlessly without reciprocity.
• You've absorbed the belief that your worth depends on self-sacrifice. That setting limits makes you selfish. That asking for support is a burden. That succeeding professionally means surrendering your well-being.
• You can't see how much you're actually managing because most of this labor happens beneath the surface—managing your own emotional responses, anticipating others' reactions, preventing problems before they materialize.
And the question that keeps surfacing: What if I'm just not built for this?
And it is possible to change this — without becoming colder, harder, or less caring.
This Isn't Just "Being Tired"
You don't have to figure this out alone
I'm Rachel Wilson, LCSW & certified yoga therapist. I support sensitive people in demanding roles using a somatic, trauma-informed approach—because I know what it's like to be wired this way in work environments that aren't built for you.
I bring nearly two decades of experience helping people reconnect with their bodies, understand their stress responses, and heal from what's hurt them. I also bring my own lived experience as a sensitive person navigating responsibility, leadership, and care for others—learning what happens when you consistently put yourself last.
I understand how exhaustion builds slowly through emotional labor, unspoken expectations, and constant self-monitoring. And I know you don't need to push harder or override your body to make change.
You need clarity, individualized support, and a plan that works with your nervous system—not against it.
I see you. And I've worked with hundreds of highly sensitive, deeply attuned people just like you—people who are brilliant at what they do but exhausted by how much it costs them.
Here's what I've learned: You don't need to become less sensitive. You need support that actually works with how you're wired.
Let's Be Real—You Are Not the Problem
This pattern you're in? It's not just about feeling tired or stressed.
If you keep going like this, here's what you risk losing:
Your health—the tension headaches, the digestive issues, the constant low-level anxiety that's starting to feel normal, the burnout that eventually manifests physically
Your relationships—because by the time you get home, you're too depleted to show up for the people who matter most
Your sense of self—you've become so focused on meeting everyone else's needs that you've lost connection with what you actually want and need
Your career—because the very qualities that make you valuable (your attunement, your care, your reliability) are the same ones burning you out
The way you're working right now? It can't continue indefinitely. Your body is already telling you that.
The question is: Will you listen before it forces you to stop?
How This Intensive Works Over 30 Days
Reclaim Your Energy at Work is a focused, one-month, 1:1 intensive with three 60-minute individualized sessions. This isn't therapy. It's not another generic program. It's a structured, personalized process designed to help you see where your energy is actually going—and get it back.
Session 1: Assessment (Week 1)
We map where your energy is actually going—the visible commitments and the invisible work. You'll identify hidden emotional labor, unspoken expectations, and patterns of overextension. We'll name what you've been carrying that no one else sees. I'll also assess your current routines and self-care practices to understand what's supporting you and what's not.
Session 2: Action Plan (Week 2)
We translate insight into a personalized, realistic plan. Together we identify what to adjust, what to stop carrying, and where to focus first. This isn't generic advice—it's tailored to your nervous system, your role, and your real constraints. I'll also teach you personalized nervous system regulation practices designed specifically for your body and your patterns.
Session 3: Integration & Adjustment (Week 4)Two weeks later, we check in. We refine what's working, adjust what's not, and support changes that are sustainable—not another thing to keep up with. We troubleshoot obstacles and celebrate wins you might not even notice.
You'll also receive:
• A personalized somatic practice video to support your nervous system between sessions
• A written action plan with specific strategies tailored to your situation
Frequently Asked Questions
-
This is focused, action-oriented coaching—not therapy. We're not unpacking childhood wounds or processing trauma (though those things matter). We're identifying specific patterns at work that are draining you and creating a concrete plan to change them. Think of it as strategic, individualized support for a specific problem.
-
Three 60-minute sessions over a month. That's it. If you don't have three hours over 30 days to figure out why you're exhausted all the time, that's exactly why you need this intensive. The return on investment—in energy, clarity, and time saved from not spinning your wheels—is significant.
-
This isn't "take a bath" advice. This is a structured assessment and action planning process with individualized support designed to give you clarity and concrete next steps. The somatic component is what makes it powerful—you'll be working with your nervous system, not just your thoughts. If you complete the process, you will walk away knowing exactly where your energy is going and what to do about it.
-
You might. But you also might realize that small, specific shifts—a simple practicein the morning, setting one boundary, delegating one task, saying no to one type of request—could make your current situation sustainable. You'll also learn simple nervous system regulation practices to integrate into your daily routine, which can make a significant difference in how you experience your work. Either way, you deserve to know the truth about what's draining you. Clarity is the first step to making any decision that's right for you.
-
If you're reading this thinking, "This sounds like me, but I'm not sure if I'm the right fit," you probably are. You don't need to have a diagnosis or identify as highly sensitive. If you're exhausted by work in ways your colleagues don't seem to be, if you're doing emotional labor that goes unrecognized, if you're managing everyone else's feelings while your own needs go unmet—this intensive is for you.
What Changes When You Do This
• Name the invisible work you’re doing — and intervene in it in real time
You’ll be able to recognize when you’re slipping into emotional labor, over-functioning, or anticipatory caregiving as it’s happening — not just in hindsight. That awareness gives you a choice point, so you can redirect your energy instead of automatically giving it away.
• See where your energy is actually going — and actively plug the leaks
Instead of a vague sense of exhaustion, you’ll know exactly what drains you and what doesn’t. That clarity allows you to make targeted changes — adjusting specific meetings, roles, and habits — so your energy is conserved where it matters most.
• Set boundaries that translate into behavior, not just intention
You won’t just understand the need for boundaries — you’ll practice how to implement them. You’ll say no to meetings that don’t require you, stop responding to messages late at night, and leave work at work in ways your body can actually sustain.
• Say no without spiraling — and recover quickly when discomfort arises
When guilt or anxiety shows up, you’ll know how to regulate your nervous system instead of getting pulled into rumination. You’ll be able to decline requests, tolerate the discomfort that follows, and move on — without replaying the interaction for days.
• Make energy-protective decisions with confidence
You’ll learn how to discern when it’s appropriate to step in and when it’s better to step back. Instead of second-guessing yourself, you’ll trust your internal signals and make decisions that preserve your energy without needing external validation.
• Stop over-functioning — and allow others to carry their share
You’ll practice letting other people manage their own responsibilities and emotions. You’ll delegate more cleanly, resist the urge to fix or smooth everything over, and release yourself from work that was never yours to hold.
If nothing changes
Without support, the pattern usually continues.
You keep compensating. The exhaustion keeps compounding. And work keeps taking more than it gives—until burnout feels inevitable.
You keep doing the same things, hoping something will change. You tell yourself you'll set boundaries "next week." You wait for things to slow down (they won't). You hope someone will notice how much you're carrying (they probably won't).
You don't have to wait until you're completely depleted to do something different.
