(Are you ready for a deeper understanding and connection with yourself?)

Welcome to the Overwhelm Recovery Package 

Your Journey to Inner Calm and Guidance So You Can Regain Control and Focus On What You Really Want

At the end of the day, are you feeling…

• like you have nothing to come home to, because your mind is still on your work and your heart feels void and empty?
• hungry, numb and brain-dead, with no energy or desire to do anything (but eat)?
• disconnected from the people in your life?
• just plain exhausted and totally tapped out?

You’re looking for more in your life. You give everything to your career, but at the end of the day, you want something left over for you. You also want to bring your whole self to your work, as well as to your personal life. You want to be authentic and aligned in all the parts of your life.

I invite you to treat yourself to the Overwhelm Recovery Package, a journey that will help you reconnect with your true self, get feedback on what’s causing your overwhelm and how you typically handle it, and guidance on how to move beyond overwhelm and play bigger in your life, whatever that means to you.

This is for you if you still have many dreams — if you have much more you want to do and achieve in your life. Yet somewhere along the way — maybe recently, maybe long ago — your job got more complicated. You took more responsibility so you could have more of an impact. You were given more and more assignments. Then your ability to make a difference shrank, getting lost in the administrative details and corporate politics. And getting lost in your plummeting energy level.

Right now you’re close to your breaking point and you know it’s time to make a change. But you’re so disconnected with your self, you have no idea what change you could make.

You know you still have passions inside you somewhere, even if you’re not quite sure what they are.

If only you could feel fulfilled in your work by really making an impact, have the time and presence of mind to enjoy your work projects and relationships, and have time to enjoy your personal life and reconnect with yourself. Surely it’s not impossible to have a satisfying, successful career and a fulfilling personal life. But how?

It’s not enough to keep hoping something will change to reduce your overwhelm and stress. It just keeps getting worse. It’s not going to change on its own. You have to do something. But what? 

The Steps to Overwhelm Recovery

1. Be ready to accept outside support. You’re smart and capable. You’re a high achiever. You’re a great learner. In fact, you love learning and self-development. (Your bookshelves are proof of that!) But have you ever sought outside support–beyond a book–to help you more fully grow into the best “You” that you want to be? Not a therapist who focuses on understanding your past, but a coach who’ll push you to your possibilities? Someone outside your place of work with a fresh perspective, yet who knows corporate overwhelm and has come out on the other side?
2. Be ready to learn about yourself and your behaviors. This is the real meat of the journey beyond overwhelm. Overwhelm really means your emotions have become unmanageable–they are overwhelming you. Taking an emotional intelligence assessment will expose you to your emotional blind spots. An assessment will uncover your weaknesses–and your strengths that you can build on–in your self-perception, self-expression, interpersonal, decision making, and stress management skills.
3. Open up to your inner heart. Drop in to your true self. What do you truly want and desire? What have you been depriving yourself of along your journey up the corporate ladder? What are your passions? Take the plunge and listen to your soul. Emerge with a rock-hard list of what’s truly most important to you. Your new self-knowledge and clarity will give you inner guidance and courage to align to your authentic self in all your activities and decisions. It will put all the work and daily life demands and stresses in perspective, making them less overwhelming.
4. Question your perceived limitations. You know, when you tell yourself things like “I can’t do that” or “I have to do this.” Are they really true? Such thoughts are key causes of overwhelm. Instead, experience the sheer joy and freedom of undoing your limiting thoughts and opening your mind to new possibilities and creativity. Learning this skill will expand your mind and literally transform your life.
5. Give yourself permission to live into your greatness (yes, your greatness–you know it’s there!) and to live a life you love. As a sometimes perfectionist with high expectations, sometimes you diminish your own abilities and think less of yourself than even others do. You also may not be in the habit of letting yourself be happy. Recognize your ability to choose and allow the life you want to live.
6. Get what you want out of your life, recognizing you have the ability and power to to do it!

If you’re ready to stop your overwhelm spiral and take control of your life and your future, then it’s time for you to take these steps. If you’re tired of living a life that’s less than the one you want to live, then it’s time for you to allow more in your life with the Overwhelm Recovery Package.

Are You Ready to Learn the Truth About Yourself? Because you can handle it.

The Overwhelm Recovery Package will take you to your true self — your true emotions, your true behaviors, and your true desires.

This isn’t a time management or stress management program. It is the self-growth program your soul has been yearning for, to give you the self-knowledge, courage and skills to say no to the requests you don’t align with, and say yes to standing up for what you do want.

The Overwhelm Recovery Package gives you 2 assessments and 4 hours of individual coaching over 1 month. This coaching centers around your assessment results and implementing an action plan for where you would like to change. These assessments will give you the deepest inner knowledge you can learn about yourself–your emotions and your passions.

You may learn, to your surprise, that some of your emotional behaviors have been sabotaging you, and this is causing some of your stress.

You may learn that nothing in your life contains anything you love. That you’re living life “by default.”

Or you may learn that you are on the path to living your passions. You just need to tweak a couple emotional skills to smooth out some rough edges and more effectively achieve what you want.

If you’re sick and tired of living a busy, hurried, never-enough-time-to-do-it-well life that is not in alignment with the real You…

If you’re ready to step into a life of joy instead of overwhelm…

Then the Overwhelm Recovery Package is for you.

Checking in…how are you feeling about this?

Maybe you’re feeling doubtful. How could anything change your massive overwhelm and stress? How could you ever get it under control, short of quitting your job?

It’s true that taking one step or class or coaching session isn’t going to change much.

Yet you were drawn to this page, and the possibility that the Overwhelm Recovery Package can bring you deeper change than that.

Maybe you’re not ready for real change. Maybe, as much as you hate your life right now, you’re used to it. You’re used to the constant caffeine intake after sleeping 5 (or fewer) hours. You’re used to the mild pain in your back or your upset digestive system. You’re used to not spending quality time with your loved ones. You’re used to not connecting with people because you’re rushing. You’re used to doing what you’re asked and adding more things to your list.

You may be scared to find out what you really want. You’d feel uncomfortable questioning your work assignments that seem inefficient. You don’t have the energy to be more assertive.

Did you ever consider the possibility that when you get what’s best for you, others will get the best from you? And isn’t that what you really want to give in your work, instead of getting subsumed in the administrative detail and corporate politics?

How Exactly Does The Overwhelm Recovery Package Work?

Here’s what you’ll do in the four Overwhelm Recovery coaching sessions.

Before Session One: Take an emotional intelligence assessment online that is one of the most respected and recognized EQ assessment instruments worldwide, the EQ-i 2.0.

Session One: Review your assessment results. You’ll receive customized feedback in a 20-page report on the specific emotional skills that are impacting your ability to get the results you desire in your work and your life. You’ll also receive personalized correlations of your emotional strengths and weaknesses, with recommended actions to increase your emotional intelligence. Decide which emotional skills you’d like to strengthen. Create a simple action plan to develop the skill you’ve decided to focus on.

Session Two: Review your progress on your action plan. Were you able to take steps to change your emotional behavior? Discuss your successes and challenges. Add to your action plan, either more actions to develop the same skill or actions to develop another skill you want to strengthen.

Also in this session, you’ll start identifying your passions — what in your life that is really most important to you?

Session Three: In this session you’ll discover your top passions, using the clarifying process, The Passion Test®. You’ll leave this session knowing the top five things that are most important to you in your life, the action formula for living your passions, and the easy secret you can use over and over for living a passion-based life. You’ll also learn how to create vivid descriptions of how your passions will look in your life for Session Four.

And in this session, we’ll review your progress on your action plan, and add to it if desired.

Session Four: This session will focus on uncovering and turning around a limiting belief that may be keeping you from living your passions and becoming your greatest self. You’ll also complete your visualization of having your passions in your life. We’ll review your action plan progress. You’ll leave your last session feeling energized, alive, and “on” with your new, deep understanding and connection to yourself.

All sessions will be recorded and sent to you in an audio file, so you won’t have to take notes and you can listen to them again, at any time!

“Working with Cathy changed my life, in a dynamic new way.”

“I learned that finding more peace in my life was my top passion. Within a week, my colleagues noticed that there was something significantly different in the way I approached my personal and professional life. Thanks to this work, I have slowed the pace of my very busy life down to a level where I can enjoy ~ and appreciate ~ the time I have with friends and family, and myself.”

Results You Can Expect from the Overwhelm Recovery Package

• Learn what’s causing your feelings of overwhelm
• Get a handle on your stressful emotions
• Understand the situations that send you over the edge
• Say “no” easily without feeling guilty or feeling like a failure because you didn’t follow through

Did You Know You CAN Make a Difference in Your Job?

The work world is hungering for authentic, caring leaders with strong emotional skills. Yet emotional skills still aren’t taught in schools and most corporate training programs. Studies show that IQ, or intellectual ability, predicts job success on average 6% of the time for a given job, whereas emotional intelligence scores predicts job success from 27-45% of the time. Developing your emotional intelligence skills will put you ahead of the herd. They will enable you to lead through your wisdom and experience. And to really connect with people.

“I got myself back together and remember who I am-found out what is important in life!! So thank you for everything!!!”

“Working with Cathy was absolutely revealing.”

“It confirmed that I was doing what I am passionate about & heading in the direction of realizing my dreams. The coolest thing is taking the passion test over again to ensure I stay on track. Thank you Cathy for teaching me & walking me through this powerful piece of discovering my passions.”

How to Know if the Overwhelm Recovery Package is Right For You

If you’re drowning in overwhelm, feel you’re on the brink of a breakdown, and desperately needing relief…this process will hold you and gently guide you to those parts of you that have been neglected. These are the parts that are causing you so much distress.

If on the other hand, you’re self-aware and know what you want to achieve in your career, but somehow keep getting stuck in your progress either by others or your own ineffective actions…this process will point out your blind spots and help you strengthen them.

In sum, the Overwhelm Recovery Package is a self-growth experience for high-achieving but overwhelmed managers and consultants to get a handle on what’s causing their overwhelm, get really clear on what they want to achieve in their careers and their lives, and get started making it happen. You want more than a quick fix to your overwhelm. You want to transform what’s causing your overwhelm into something that will help you manifest your greatness. Because you want both — to be happy with your life and to make a difference.

If you feel in your gut that it’s time for you to do this for yourself…then it is.

“Working with Cathy forced me to quiet my busy mind long enough to listen to myself, and all of the answers came.”

I came to her with 26 things that would have taken me years to make progress on, then we boiled it down to the five things most important to me. I have time to do it now because I’m not so busy trying to do all those other things. It was the older Marnita stuff. This is the “now” stuff, staying in the now. Before I was stuck in the past and the “what if’s” of the future that were eating me alive with worry.

My friend told me I was a whirling dervish, all over the place. Working with Cathy brought my focus to a tiny pinpoint, yet that pinpoint showed me the biggest picture I ever imagined. All of the excess dropped away. The people pleasing fell away. Saying no not only helps me but it helps the people I say no to. That’s huge just to be able to get there, and realize it’s ok to be selfish in that aspect.

It was a metamorphosis. Since then I’ve taken much more responsibility, and what’s really freeing, is I left behind the excess responsibility that I had taken on. It makes me a better person, a better leader, a better wife, and a better friend. I’m not afraid to commit to that integrity. Before I was trying to hold myself together, but now I feel such an expansion. I can’t say enough about for sitting through the this process with Cathy to bring the lens of that camera in on all that was overwhelming me.”

Choices that I make every second of every day — and to become more AWARE that I DO have choices. Working with Cathy is a worthwhile investment in one’s self if a person has any doubts about where they are in life…or how to begin the process of meeting and fulfilling one’s goals…aspirations….dreams.”
