Why A Sabbatical Won’t Cure Your Burnout

Taking a sabbatical/holiday when you’re in patterns of burnout is like the woman who takes a break from dating without healing the roots of her relational issues. It’s just escapism & Groundhog Day.

The rise of the sabbatical highlights our deep need for transformative rest to be a regular, necessary part of our success strategies.

When deep nourishing rest isn’t a part of your success strategy; sabbaticals & holidays become part of your coping strategy.

You CAN create a life that nourishes you, but to do this you need to address the real problem: to fully embrace your worthiness without performance and achievement.

This is the deep work we do in my world, so you can rest and relax, recharging for amazing impact, guilt-free.

There is NO shame in it! I’ve taken serious breaks over and over again because I hadn’t gotten to the roots of what was really going on.

I was in a massive pattern of burnout.

I would rest/take a big break

Finally get the energy or inspo to get going again

Get going

Then fall back into the same patterns with the same old results.

It was so frustrating!

But there was nothing wrong with me! The problem was that I hadn’t addressed the roots of some of the ways I had been conditioned to function.

Once I did this I was free to be lit up, excited, chasing goals from the right energy, rest and relax.. and holidays become something that is a big gift again! Not a coping strategy to escape from life

The Pattern of Burnout is a BIG symptom of your inner Good Christian Girl still being activated (even if you’ve left church/religious Christianity). In my next free workshop, I walk you through this pattern and how to untangle from it to be free to be YOU. Click here to join us!

PS. Sabbatical years weren’t designed for people, they were designed for the LAND. Sabbath was designed for people.

God does not have a fragile ego.

God does not have a fragile ego. He can handle your brilliance, your magic, your SPARKLE ✨

After all, He made you so. We must be careful not to project the insecurities of men we have experienced – fathers, partners, religious men – onto God.

It took me many internal shifts to unlearn the ego that I had projected onto God. He has none. He isn’t insecure, he isn’t offended by your brightness. He doesn’t need you to dull down your femininity so he doesn’t feel threatened.

Unlearning this means I can see him and experience him as he is, not as who I project him to be based on passed experiences.

What Is Wrong With Being A Good Christian Girl?

I’ve been asked this alot in comments on my posts on social media, and I understand the mindset.

It’s coming from people who are where I used to be. I grew up in conservative “religious” Christianity, I had absorbed much of the teaching from a young age in my family and church environments, and then in subsequent church environments.

What I didn’t realise was that some of what I had absorbed was actually man-made teaching, and not from the God who sees women, loves women and values women.

I found it challenging to set boundaries, own and use my God-given voice, anchor in my worth; and was also wrestling with alot of burnout, anxiety, dimming myself down, people-pleasing, workaholism, perfectionism (I could go on..).

And when I began to dig deep into healing all of these with God, I uncovered that I had swallowed the poison of this archetype without realising it was toxic for me, and for the women around me. I discovered it was not only anti-biblical, it was actually anti-God.

With that being said – let’s dive a little deeper.

What Is The Good Christian Girl Archetype™, & What Is Wrong With Being A Good Christian Girl?

The Good Christian Girl Archetype™ is a trauma response to being taught that God values girls/women only when they conform to a narrow, man-made mould. Conditioned to be quiet, compliant, and self-sacrificing, she learns to suppress her voice and needs to avoid being seen as selfish or rebellious.

Her value becomes tied to serving others, people-pleasing & meeting impossible standards of perfection, leaving no room for her imperfection, needs, desires or her as a person.

As a result, grown women are infantalised, twisting themselves into disempowered versions of who God made them to be, stripped of God-given worth & protective mechanisms like their voice and intuition, landing them into toxic and sometimes dangerous situations.

As an adult she craves authenticity and the courage to lead her life unapologetically, but her conditioning keeps her in a cycle of self-abandonment and a fear that stepping into her full self would make her unworthy of love or acceptance.

If you’re reading this thinking – holy Moses this is actually really relatable, pin-points the things I’ve wrestled or am wrestling with, and I know it’s placing a ceiling on my full God-given potential that I am born to expand in this lifetime.. I have an invitation for you –

To untangle from The Good Christian Girl Archetype™ so you can be unapologetically and authentically YOU in your life, faith or business, join my next free workshop on how to untangle from her here.

Protecting Yourself From The Toxicity In Your Religious Past

< Go from 0-1000mph instead of expressing hurt, anger, frustration or disappointment in healthy ways, you explode (then feel freaking guilty afterwards)?

< Frustrated by your religious up-bringing and the limitations it brings?

< Feel misunderstood often, and like your voice doesn’t carry much authority (unless you’re angry or exploding)?

< Trying hard NOT to be the Good Christian Girl you were brought up to be? 

I see you, there’s nothing wrong with you – it’s likely you’re unknowingly caught in the Religious Rebel Archetype™.

The Religious Rebel Archetype™ is an understandable reaction to Good Christian Girl conditioning. 

It’s understandable because GCG conditioning basically teaches girls to be powerless, to rely on men to protect them, to abandon themselves, and to silence their voices and intuition.

Some of these are our most powerful God-given protectors given as gifts to women – especially our voices and intuition!

And I’m sure, like me, you ended up in toxic, abusive, dangerous or unhealthy situations as a result. So you had to protect yourself..

Pushing back against all things related to your religious up-bringing..

But the thing is, the way that we protect ourselves is not always a long-term healthy solution for us to live in peace, have great relationships with ourselves and others and to receive our desires..

Sometimes our protective mechanisms block the very things we say we want, burning us out, leaving us feeling guilty with a loud inner critic that gives us a load of anxiety.

I bring you good news!  Knowing that the Religious Rebel Archetype™ is actually a REACTION to the Good Christian Girl Archetype is the key here!

The problem isn’t your desire to push back against something toxic – no no no – the problem is the original Good Christian Girl conditioning.  She’s still active and you haven’t properly untangled from her as an identity deep within your subconscious.

And I bring you better news! I’m going to show you ALL THE THING in my next free workshop to untangle it all & be unapologetically YOU here.

There Are Only 2 Things A Girl/Woman Can Be In Many Conservative Christian Spheres (Why You Dim Yourself Down):

In many conservative religious circles, there are only 2 things a woman can be (why you dim yourself & your voice down):

In my deep observation, my own spiritual awakening and evolution journey and working with high achieving clients, I accidentally uncovered a dichotomy (two opposing ideas) in many religious circles.

And it’s something that, until this moment, I bet you actually deep down KNEW existed, but had struggled to put your finger on, or put words to. It’s this:

In most religious Christian circles, girls and women can only be ONE of two things – 

The Good Christian Girl / Good Christian Woman

OR

The Rebellious Woman / Harlot / Strong Independent Career Woman

Have you noticed this?

If you don’t fit the mold, toe the line, dim down your voice and opinions.. if you don’t PERFECTLY fit into the archetype of the Good Christian Girl, you are IMMEDIATELY labelled as the other.

And so develops this unnameable subconscious fear with deep (often unconscious) dialogue going a little something like this:

“I don’t want people to think I’m rebellious, or selfish, or immoral, or too independent.. so I’ll dim myself down”

The thing is, as women when we get to our 30s, 40s and beyond we get to a point where we are severely burnt out and literally CANNOT operate in this dichotomy – this pattern of self-abandonment and fear any longer.. 

But it’s like – how do we untangle from it all to be unapologetically ourselves, without becoming someone we’re not, but also not becoming something we fear (like being labelled rebellious)?

While ever we don’t feel safe to just BE, the full expression of authenticity cannot exist.

How To Stand Up For Yourself Without Exploding In Anger

I used to go from 0 (Nice Christian Girl/Good Girl—compliant and quiet) to 1000 mph (psycho angry Leah) before exploding. Now I stand up for myself instead.. you can too.

I would bottle it up for a longgg time before the inevitable eruption happened because I literally couldn’t hold it in any longer.

Instead of using my voice, I would bite my tongue, be nice, take it and take it, try to be forgiving, try to show grace, try to be like Jesus, pray about it, try to reframe how I thought about it, avoid situations and people that would trigger it…

All of which required a lot of maintenance and energy. All of which actually ENABLED others to treat me however they liked (but that’s probably a post for another day).

The problem was this:
I didn’t know HOW to use my voice appropriately, and because I didn’t know how, when I was triggered I would explode—which led to me not trusting my voice fully.

The problem was NOT the fact that I would explode, or that I didn’t trust my voice…

It was that I had never been shown how to properly use my voice to stand up for myself, voice my opinions, and stand for what really mattered to me in a healthy, balanced, regulated way (without becoming someone I wasn’t, or ruining all the relationships around me); AND I had received conditioning I that told me that being a nice, silent, Good Christian Girl was what God (and men) wanted from me.

You don’t need another self-help book or a surface-level communication workshop. 

You don’t need more guilt-laden advice to “be like Jesus” while ignoring the power and authority He’s given you.

Without appropriate adult female models, we are left in our protective mechanisms, sometimes floundering, trying to work it out ourselves.

You can feel when it’s not working. You try harder, bottle it up longer, and hope the next time will be different… but it’s not.

This cycle of silence, eruption, and guilt takes a toll. It robs you of your peace, your confidence, and the ability to trust yourself. It impacts your relationships, your work, and even your faith.

But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

You don’t need to keep carrying this weight. What you need is to unlearn the toxic beliefs that keep you silent and reclaim your voice in a way that feels powerful, regulated, and authentic.

That’s exactly what we do in my Free To Be You Mastermind.

This isn’t just about learning to “speak up.” It’s about uncovering the version of you that’s silenced herself for far too long—the bold, unapologetic, aligned woman you were always meant to be.

Imagine using your voice with clarity and conviction, standing firm for what matters most to you, and showing up powerfully (and REGULATED) in communication in your relationships and work without fear or guilt.

You can learn to trust your voice, even if you never have before. You can use your voice to stand for what matters most without burning bridges—or yourself out.

The ‘Religious Rebel’ Woman vs the ‘Good Christian Girl’ Archetype & How To Break Free To Be YOU

The dichotomy of the ‘Religious Rebel’ Woman & the ‘Good Christian Girl’ Archetypes & how to break free to be more of your authentic self:

In my deep research, my own spiritual awakening and evolution journey and working with high achieving clients, I accidentally uncovered a dichotomy.

And it’s something that, until this moment, I bet you actually deep down KNEW existed, but had struggled to put your finger on, or put words to. It’s this:

In most religious Christian circles, girls and women can only be ONE of two things – 

The Good Christian Girl / Good Christian Woman

OR

The Rebellious Woman / Harlot / Strong Independent Career Woman / Opinionated

Have you noticed this?

If you don’t fit the mold, toe the line, dim down your voice and opinions.. if you don’t PERFECTLY fit into the archetype of the Good Christian Girl, you are IMMEDIATELY labelled as the other.

I’m Having a Crisis of Faith / Spiritual Awakening

I’ve been there—the moment where you feel like everything you thought you knew is unraveling, and it feels like a crisis.

But what if this isn’t a breakdown but a break through?

What if this is God calling you out of inauthenticity and into freedom?

The toxic beliefs, the perfectionism, and the shame-based religious mindsets and theology—that’s not Him. This is the point where you get to meet God as He truly is, not as you were taught to see Him. Here are the shifts that radically transformed my faith, and they’re the same shifts that help my clients, too.

SHIFT #1: Untangling from Toxic Conditioning

I had to go through a process of religious deconditioning. It was essential to break free from the codependent, perfectionistic, people-pleasing faith I’d been taught. This was about untangling from the shame and obligation that came from toxic religious beliefs, so I could finally be my real, raw, honest self with God.

SHIFT #2: Discovering God Outside of Toxic Religious Christianity

Rediscovering God meant releasing the old teachings that labeled self-care as selfish or made me feel like I could never measure up. In stepping outside of those confines, I found a God who invites us to flourish, not burn out.

SHIFT #3: Healing from the Impact of My Faith History

My complex history with toxic religious Christianity deeply impacted how I viewed God. I struggled to feel safe with Him because of the religious abuse, divorce, smear campaigns, and other painful experiences that shaped me. It’s no wonder that trust felt nearly impossible. Healing meant allowing all of me to come before God—raw, real, and loved just as I am.

SHIFT #4: Recognizing My Projections on God Due to Past Trauma

My relationship with my earthly dad influenced how I viewed God’s nature and character. Trauma in our past relationships, especially with men, can create projections and blind spots when it comes to God. It took intentional healing to stop seeing God through the distorted lens of my past. Experiencing Him as a loving Father was a breakthrough in seeing His true nature.

SHIFT #5: Realizing It’s Possible to Have a Healthy, Nourishing Relationship with God

I didn’t believe it at first, but it is possible to have a close, nourishing relationship with God that isn’t about control or losing yourself. He isn’t asking you to disappear; He’s inviting you to be fully you. God wants a relationship where you don’t have to fit into someone else’s version of faith—you get to bring your true self to the table.

So, if you’re in the midst of a crisis of faith, take heart. God is calling you out of shame and control, out of toxic mindsets, and into freedom, authenticity, and deep connection with Him. This is the kind of faith that sustains and nourishes every part of your life, from your relationships to your purpose.

You don’t have to walk this path alone. If you’re ready to break free and step into an honest, soul-nourishing faith, click the link in my bio to learn more about my journey and how I help others do the same.

In my mastermind: Free To Be You, I personally walk my high-achieving female clients through to the freedom to be both untangled from toxic religious experiences and conditioning while being fully themselves with God.

My Business/Niche Feels Misaligned—How Can I Find My Authentic Path?

You’re a visionary, smart, and damn good at what you do. But lately, something feels off. You’ve mastered your field, yet you’re craving a slice of your niche that feels like a perfect fit—a business that’s soul-aligned, impactful, and genuinely yours.

Maybe you’re ready to scale, but deep down, your authentic self doesn’t want to grow in the direction you’ve been heading. You don’t need to burn it all down, but you need clarity to move forward and a business that reflects your full genius. No more hiding parts of yourself or needing validation.

Imagine your work…

  • Serving at your highest level.
  • Making a powerful, lasting impact.
  • Connecting deeply with your audience.
  • Feeling more purposeful with each day.

Here’s how to move from “almost there” to fully aligned:

SHIFT #1: You don’t have to start over or burn it all down. You need to leverage what you’ve already built.

Alignment doesn’t mean walking away from the business you’ve built. You might feel tempted to toss it all, but here’s the truth—you’re so close. You’re three feet from gold. You’re on the edge of breakthrough; it’s just a matter of refining and leveraging what’s already there.

SHIFT #2: You’re closer than you think—what you need is refinement.

Sometimes, it’s hard to see the full picture from inside the frame. You need someone who sees your full genius and can help pull out the pieces that feel “off” or dull. With the right guidance, you can tap into your truest potential without feeling the need to constantly push or force it.

SHIFT #3: You don’t need to be like “X” to grow.

Scaling your business doesn’t require you to change yourself or fit into someone else’s mold. In fact, the most magnetic businesses are built on authenticity—where you show up as you without holding back. Let go of the need to copy anyone else’s path. Your success lies in amplifying what makes you unique.

SHIFT #4: You need clarity—it’s hard to read the label from inside the jar.

When you’re so close to your business, it’s easy to get lost in details and lose sight of your true potential. Sometimes, it’s hard to see what needs shifting or aligning when you’re right in the thick of it. Clarity comes when you work with someone who can see you in your full brilliance and bring it to the surface.

Are you ready to stop spinning your wheels and start creating a business that you feel excited to work in every day?

Click the link to join the Free To Be You Mastermind—where you’ll realign your business to your deepest purpose, leverage your unique voice, and finally scale a business that feels like an extension of who you truly are.
