Heal At Your Own Pace

Things I’m learning from burnout and brain injury

About Me

Hi, I’m Ashley. I started this website after some major life changes. I left my job after experiencing several strokes (note to other stress-heads - my strokes were not simply stress-related). 

My initial reaction was essentially “let me back in coach!” Looking back, I realize how burnt out I was because I enjoyed my time in the hospital way more than expected. 

Despite my best efforts to get back to “normal,” I took time off to recover and understand why I’m so prone to burnout. Naturally, I attempted to make recovery my new “job.” (I still do this from time to time…).

Part of the reason why I created this site was to reroute this energy. The resources here help me understand this pattern and accept myself as flawed without falling apart. The learning process is hard by itself, but it’s even harder while trying to unlearn at the same time. It’s a work in progress and I’m trying to do it at my own pace ; ).

I hope the resources are helpful if you decide to use them.
