Hey love,
If you're struggling with depression, burnout or lack of motivation, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. ❤️
I went through IT ALL before & during my sabbatical last year... Think:
- Not wanting to work AT ALL
- Watching Netflix for WEEKS
- Often crying for no apparent reason
- Constantly feeling like I'm going to fall apart
- Utterly unmotivated to do ANY work
- Feeling lost & like a complete failure
- Even having days where I didn't want to live 😞
I know I make myself vulnerable by sharing this, but you need to hear it. 💖
Six of my closest friends are currently going through some form of burnout, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, or like everything is way too much. Some are even pausing their entire career. These are women you may be looking up to, they're successful, live their passion and some make lots of money.
You are not alone. There is nothing wrong with you. You are not crazy.
So what caused it for me? A deep-rooted insecurity that started in my childhood and reared it's head once I got some form of success. That's not to say you can't experience anxiety & depression before you manifest your dreams. But last year everything went so great (I had a second 6 figure launch, relationship was awesome, made amazing friends)… A part of me could not believe it could be this good. Long story short… I felt stuck for about 1 entire year.
If you're struggling with feeling down, not being motivated or even depression, I want you to listen to this week's episode.
You'll learn:
- How an unconscious decision I made when I was 16 kept me depressed at 31
- Why mind-based coaching doesn’t work (and the thing that does!)
- The one exercise that finally got me out of my year long depression
- Why you should always trust your intuition no matter what anyone else says
- The best approaches to create your dream life from your essence (your true self)
- Why being true to yourself will give you the greatest success on the long run + tools on how to do it
It's OK if sometimes everything feels TOO MUCH.
It's OK if you don't feel motivated.
It's OK IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK.
Please prioritize your mental health and fitness. Your body communicates with you what you need. Make sure you listen to her. There is nothing wrong with you. You are loved and you are worthy. ❤️
This WILL pass and there WILL be bright light at the end of the tunnel, where your energy flows again naturally. 🌞 You'll likely experience a big expansion after this. So don't fight it. Don't try to get yourself motivated. Take the time you need.

With so much love from The Netherlands,
Leonie XOXO
