Meet Christi
Most people find me at the moment their old identity stops working. Not because they failed. Because they outgrew the version of themselves they’ve been performing for years.
After 30+ years in behavioral science, educational leadership, and human development, I learned something most high performers never hear:
-
Helps mid-life professionals who feel burned out, overextended, or stuck step out of people-pleasing and over-functioning
-
Combines behavior science, leadership strategy, and nervous system regulation for sustainable change
-
Works with clients who are outwardly successful but inwardly exhausted
-
Focuses on identity alignment, boundaries, and practical behavior change, not motivation or hype
-
Brings 30+ years of experience in education, leadership, and human behavior

The Real Reason You’re Burned Out (And It’s Not Your Workload)

It’s often a signal that your identity, environment, and expectations are out of alignment. In this episode, we’ll break down: Why “rest” doesn’t always fix burnout The hidden cost of over-functioning and people-pleasing The question that changes everything: “Which version of me is actually tired?” A practical reset using behavior science + identity alignment

Burned Out… or Stuck in an Old Identity? | Why Rest Isn’t Restoring High Performers
You’re burned out because you’re still being who you had to be to survive. The reliable one. The fixer. The one who never drops the ball. For many high-performing professionals, rest doesn’t restore because identity is still performing in the background. Your body may pause, but your nervous system never fully settles.

Exhausted but Still Performing? This Might Be Why
If you’re tired but still showing up, this isn’t about motivation or time management. It’s about the survival role you’re still carrying. This Thursday at 12:30 PM Eastern, I’m hosting a live Platinum Power Bite on Zoom. We’ll reset the nervous system, name the role that’s draining you, and walk away with one clear move you can use immediately. This is for high performers who are done pushing and ready to lead from steadiness instead.

Why Your Energy Disappears By Noon: The Nervous System Truth No One Teaches
Most people think they’re burned out because they’re overworked. But the real drain usually comes from living in protection mode… and carrying an identity that no longer fits. Your nervous system doesn’t respond to ambition. It responds to safety. And when you push past your limits or pretend you’re fine, your body moves into defense… which drains energy faster than any to-do list ever will.
