I Reached the Top. Then I Realized the Whole Ladder Was Leaning Against the Wrong Wall.
I spent 23 years climbing the corporate ladder at Fortune 500 companies, achieved every marker of success—then discovered the whole system was designed to destroy the people it promotes. I'm here to help you see it before burnout costs you everything.
From Sr. Director to Freedom
23 Years of Climbing, One Moment of Clarity
I spent 23 years climbing—Cognizant, Wipro, Synechron, Intelliswift. Every promotion felt like progress. Recruitment specialist → Sr. Director.
The Micro-Learnings Along the Way:
Smarter recruitment wasn't the answer.
The system optimized for productivity over humanity. No process could fix that.
Individual optimization doesn't work.
I delivered results (80% attrition reduction, $1M organizational savings, 10% revenue growth). The system still burned people out.
Peak success and peak burnout happen simultaneously.
Chief Inspiration Officer. Helping organizations transform. Personally falling apart. The cognitive dissonance became unbearable.
I was succeeding by every corporate metric and collapsing by every human metric.
2022: The Moment Everything Changed
Sr. Director at Fortune 500. Six-figure salary. C-level influence. Everything I'd been climbing toward.
And I was completely hollow.
Not depressed. Not in crisis. Just empty. Success tasted like ashes.
I was on vacation with my family, having the best time, and work emails wouldn't stop. That moment, I had absolute clarity: No title is worth this.
That moment, I made the hardest decision of my career: I FIREd.
Not because I failed. Because I succeeded at the wrong game and finally realized the whole ladder was leaning against the wrong wall.
Why I'm Actually Qualified to Help You
I'm not a wellness guru who read about burnout in a book. I'm not a meditation teacher who dabbles in business. I'm not a coach who's never climbed the corporate ladder.
I've been where you are. I climbed to Sr. Director. I achieved every external marker of success. And I discovered it was all hollow.
I've stepped off the ladder deliberately. Not fired. Not broken down. I chose to leave because I saw the system was broken.
I've rebuilt from zero. No corporate salary. No title. No external validation. And I discovered: I could build something meaningful without chasing external success.
I'm ICF Certified Coach + SHRM-SCP Certified with 23 years of organizational expertise combined with personal transformation.
Most people are one thing. I'm all three: HR expert + Coach + Personal transformation. That combination is rare.
The PAUSE Framework: Four Days That Change Everything
How Pause and Arrive Works
"The system that made you successful is now destroying you."
We identify the recurring cycles keeping you trapped. You step outside the system and see it clearly. Nervous system regulation begins. Digital detox. Nature immersion.
"You're successful at everything except the one thing that matters."
We explore the blind spots. The questions you've been avoiding. Who are you beneath your achievements? What have you sacrificed? Guided self-inquiry brings clarity.
"Permission to pause is the most powerful thing you'll never give yourself."
Yogic breathwork (Pranayama) regulates your nervous system physiologically. Shadow work & somatic healing release what's locked in your body. Your nervous system finally feels safe.
"The identity you built was for someone else's expectations. It's time to rebuild for yourself."
Beyond the title. Beyond the achievements. Who are you? What brings you joy? Values clarification. Identity reconstruction. You rediscover the person beneath the costume.
"Clarity without commitment is just expensive self-help. We build both."
Decision-making framework. 90-day integration roadmap. Accountability partnership. You leave with concrete next steps—not just insights, but a strategic plan to make it real.
You leave with: Diagnosed understanding of your burnout. A reset nervous system. Clarity about who you are. A strategic roadmap. An accountability partner.
Your Pause Is Waiting
You've been climbing for long enough. Four days away isn't a luxury. It's the most strategic investment you can make in yourself, your family, and your future.
