Athena Simpson

In my old life, I used to run myself to the ground

All-night cram sessions for exams in university . . .

Working 16 hour days on little sleep, no exercise or self-care for 15 years . . .

Then “celebrating” (drinking) even though I was mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted and just wanted to sleep . . .

Then I’d get sick, unable to move, my batteries fully depleted.

Instead of enjoying time off, it would be forced on me and although I was sick, I’d be beating myself up for not being able to keep going.

I thought that’s what I needed to do to succeed. Push myself until I broke.

WORK HARD.

PLAY HARD.

BURN OUT.

The cycle nearly killed me.

You might believe the hype that self-care and nourishment are frivolous and selfish and will hold you back from being productive and successful.

In actual fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Prioritizing your well-being is not only crucial for your productivity, but also your health. And there’s tons of research coming out to back this up.

If you still follow the work hard, play hard (burn out) approach, you’re literally killing yourself.

I have a free online workshop where I talk about the missing link between well-being and productivity.

I demystify the societal beliefs around productivity and why you need to pay attention to your mind, body and work holistically if you want to achieve more both in your career and your enjoyment of life (and how to do it!)

This is for you if:

Resistant to getting organized or managing your time

Go through cycles of burning out or frequent sickness

Don’t feel like you’re taking care of yourself

Feel stuck

Are a perfectionist

Feel all over the place, anxious or overwhelmed

Procrastinating on that project or business

Want to level up your entrepreneurial or work output game.

It’s free and you can watch it right now. LINK IN BIO!
