Does this sound like you?
You’ve built success by doing it all. But lately… it’s costing more than it’s giving.
You’re showing up, but your spark is dimming.
The pressure is constant. The clarity is gone.
And the parts of you that once felt sharp, connected, energized; now feel... off.
This isn’t burnout. This is misalignment.
And it’s not your fault. But it is your signal.
The Awake Affect event is a space to recalibrate who you are as a leader: mentally, emotionally, physically, and behaviorally.
This is for You, IF
You’re a high-performing leader running on fumes
You’re craving a nervous system reset more than another productivity hack
You’re tired of “managing” wellness and ready to live in alignment
You want science-backed tools, not more fluff
You lead people and know your presence shapes your culture
Reclaiming Power at the Intersection of Behavior, Burnout & Belonging
Guiding executives, entrepreneurs, and HR leaders to rise from survival mode and return to
strategic clarity, emotional vitality, and behavioral mastery.
You don’t need another motivational pep talk.
You need a system reboot. One that helps you regulate your nervous system, realign your behavior, restore your energy, and rebuild how you connect with your team, your mission, and yourself.
This event offers frameworks you can apply immediately and a shift that will stay with you far longer.
