Burned-Out Professional / Misaligned Leader

Client: Julia, 36 — Senior executive in the tech sector

‍

High-achieving, exhausted, and quietly disillusioned

‍

Julia had everything on paper: a six-figure salary, a leadership title, and a packed calendar. But she was emotionally disconnected, creatively numb, and losing a sense of meaning in her work. “I don’t know how I got here — I just know I can’t keep going like this.”

‍

In our sessions, we didn’t rush into solutions. We slowed down. We used the Enneagram to uncover her core motivation and her core fear: that without constant achievement, she would lose her value.

‍

Through the Counterpoint Method, she began reconnecting with neglected parts of herself, creativity, intuition and softness. Eventually, she didn’t just change jobs, she redesigned her relationship with work. Julia now consults part-time and teaches mindfulness leadership workshops on the side. Her life feels lighter. More intentional. Hers again.
