I used to be an ad creative, constantly in my head. My to-do list ran from the moment I woke up. At work, I'd get up from my desk and realise I hadn't taken a proper breath for two hours.

The hardest part was not being able to switch off in the evenings and on weekends. I'd be sitting with my partner and daughter but my mind would still be in work mode.

I was still functioning, but I was exhausted. I knew I couldn't go on like this. Something had to change. But I didn't know how.

Eventually, I hired a coach. I learned to slow down and unbrace. I saw how I got in my own way. Over time, I changed my relationship with my thinking and way of working. I felt lighter. The joy came back.

I went on to train as a coach and write The Overthinker's Guide to Life. Now I help people like you make a similar shift.

If you want to understand how I work and whether this might be right for you, read The Wall.
