Burnout Recovery Coach for High-Achieving Women
 

You've Built the Life Everyone Else Wanted for You.

Now It's Time to Build the One You Actually Want.

For burnt-out, high-achieving women in their 30s and 40s who are exhausted from looking successful on the outside while feeling empty on the inside.

You've checked all the boxes — the career, the relationship, the life that looks "good on paper." But somewhere along the way, you lost yourself. Now you're:

  • Exhausted all the time, even after a full night's sleep

  • Going through the motions but feeling nothing

  • Wondering "Is this really all there is?"

  • Fantasising about running away from your own life

  • Too drained to even figure out what you actually want

You're not broken. You're burnt out. And you don't have to blow up your life to feel alive again.

Let's talk about what's really going on and whether coaching is right for you. No pressure, no sales pitch.

 
 
 

Certified Life Coach (CPCC, ICF ACC) ● M.A. Sociology & Psychology ● 17 Years Helping High-Achieving Women Reclaim Their Lives

 
 

You're Not Lazy. You're Not Ungrateful. You're Burnt Out.

Here's what's really happening:

You achieved what you thought would make you happy. The job, the salary, the respect. Maybe the partner, the home, the stability. You did everything "right."

But now? You feel like you're performing in your own life. Showing up but checked out. Smiling when you're supposed to, nodding along, keeping it together — while screaming inside.

You're exhausted from pretending. From people-pleasing. From carrying the weight of everyone's expectations, while your own needs get smaller and smaller until they disappear completely.

And the worst part? You feel guilty for feeling this way. Because on paper, your life is good. Other people would kill for what you have. So what's wrong with you?

Nothing. You're just living a life that was never really yours.

The career you thought you wanted? Built on what your parents valued or what society rewarded. The boundaries you can't seem to set? Learned from a lifetime of being "the good girl." The version of success you're chasing? Someone else's definition.

You've been so busy being who everyone needed you to be that you forgot who you actually are.

And now you're paying the price.

“Carola’s coaching is a lovely mixture of supportive, practical and intuitive understanding of where I am struggling and what I need to move forward.”
— SUSANNA E, SCOTLAND
 
 

What Happens If Nothing Changes?

Let me be honest with you: this doesn't get better on its own.

If you keep pushing through, keep telling yourself you just need to be stronger, work harder, rest more, meditate better — here's what happens:

In 6 months: You're even more exhausted. The resentment grows. You snap at people you love. You start googling "sabbatical" and "early retirement" at 2 am.

In 1 year: Your body starts keeping score. The headaches. The insomnia. The digestive issues. Your doctor says it's stress and to "take it easy" (as if you haven't tried that).

In 5 years: You look back and realise you spent half a decade just… existing. Not living. Not choosing. Just surviving. And the worst part? You can't get those years back.

Here's the truth: The life you're living right now isn't sustainable. Something has to change.

The question is: Do you want to choose the change, or wait until burnout chooses it for you?

(Because burnout always wins eventually. It'll force you to quit, to break down, to blow things up. Wouldn't you rather make intentional choices now, while you still have the energy to build something better?)

“When we first started working together, I was completely lost and unsure about which path to take. It was like being stuck in a never-ending rat race, with no time for myself or my family. I felt overwhelmed and unsupported at my job, and it was draining all my energy. While being supported by Carola’s coaching programme, I made some bold decisions that changed everything for the better. Now, I have more time and energy to be there for my family. I feel empowered and energized, and it’s made a world of difference.”
— Natalie, Australia
 
 

Imagine Waking Up and Actually Wanting to Be in Your Life

Not a different life. Not someone else's life. YOUR life — but one that actually fits you.

Here's what becomes possible when you do this work:

You'll know what you actually want (not what you think you should want, not what everyone else wants for you — what YOU want)

You'll set boundaries without guilt (and stop exhausting yourself trying to be everything to everyone)

You'll make decisions with clarity and confidence (instead of overthinking yourself into paralysis)

You'll have the energy to enjoy your life (not just survive it)

You'll feel like yourself again (that version of you that you thought was gone forever? She's still there, just buried under years of other people's expectations)

And here's the best part: you don't have to quit your job, end your relationship, or move to Bali to feel this way.

You just need to reclaim your life from the inside out. To reclaim your time, your energy, your purpose. To stop performing and start living.

“For me, coaching with Carola has been life-changing! I tend to see things the same way. Carola provided me with different perspectives that enabled me to reprogram my thinking and look at things differently. I’ve got so much more freedom as a result.”
— Fiona W, UK
 
 

The Reclaim Programme:
Reclaim Your Energy.
Reclaim Your Clarity.
Reclaim Your Life.

This is the 6-month coaching journey for burnt-out high-achievers who are ready to redesign their life without burning it down.

This isn't therapy (we're not rehashing your childhood). This isn't a motivational pep talk (you don't need more "just think positive" advice). This is strategic, practical, transformational coaching that helps you reclaim what burnout stole from you.

Month 1-2: Reclaim Your Clarity

  • Identify what's actually draining you (it's often not what you think)

  • Uncover what you really want (beneath all the "shoulds")

  • Understand the patterns keeping you stuck in burnout

Month 3-4: Reclaim Your Boundaries

  • Set boundaries that actually work (without burning bridges)

  • Make decisions aligned with YOUR values, not inherited ones

  • Create systems that protect your energy instead of depleting it

Month 5-6: Reclaim Your Life

  • Take action on the life you've designed for yourself

  • Navigate pushback and guilt without caving

  • Build confidence in your new way of being

What you get:

  • 20 one-hour 1:1 coaching sessions via Zoom, flexibly scheduled over 6 months to fit your life

  • WhatsApp/email support between sessions when you need it

  • Personalised exercises and tools tailored to YOUR specific situation

  • Accountability without judgment

  • A structured roadmap from burnt out to purposeful

“I first worked with Carola in my 30s and returned in my 40s during a tough time. Her non-judgmental and trustworthy nature made her my confidante. Her sessions helped me reflect and become a better version of myself. Carola listens, empathises, and offers practical ideas. I’m so glad I found her.”

"But What If...?"

  • You don't have time NOT to do this. Right now, you're spending hours overthinking, people-pleasing, and managing the fallout of burnout. Coaching actually gives you time back by helping you stop the patterns that drain you. Most clients say these sessions are the only hour in their week that's truly FOR them.

  • Therapy looks backward to heal wounds. Coaching looks forward to build the life you want. We're not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions — we're helping you get from where you are to where you want to be. (And you can absolutely do both! Many clients work with therapists AND coaches.)

  • You haven't tried this. Because this isn't about trying harder — it's about building differently. Most things you've tried treat the symptoms (stress management, self-care, time management). We address the root cause: living a life that doesn't fit you.

  • Here's the real question: What's the cost of NOT doing this? Staying burnt out costs your health, your relationships, your career, your happiness. This isn't a luxury — it's an investment in being able to show up as the person you want to be. And when you change, your relationships change too.

  • Perfect. That's exactly what we figure out together in The Reclaim Programme. Most of my clients start with "I don't even know what I want anymore." By month 2, they have clarity. By month 6, they're living it. Not knowing is the starting point, not a disqualifier.

  • Fair question. Here's what I know: If you show up, do the work, and are honest about what's really going on, transformation is inevitable. But coaching only works if you're ready to change. If you're looking for someone to just validate your complaints without taking action? This isn't for you. If you're ready to do things differently? Let's talk.

Hi, I'm Carola!

– And I Know What It's Like to Feel Successful and Empty at the Same Time…

I've got my M.A. in Sociology and Psychology because I wanted to understand WHY we get stuck in patterns that don't serve us. I became a certified life coach because I wanted to help women DO something about it.

But the real reason I do this work? Because I've watched too many capable, brilliant women waste years of their lives living for everyone else. And I refuse to let that be your story.

I don't do fluffy affirmations or toxic positivity. I do honest conversations, practical strategies, and real transformation.

My clients are high-achievers who've lost themselves somewhere between becoming successful and becoming exhausted. They're done performing. They're ready to reclaim their lives.

If that's you, let's talk.
