As a former ICU RN, Avery noticed that the majority of the reasons why adults found themselves in the ICU were because of illnesses and diseases that could be linked to chronic stress. She made the decision to get out of the reactive side of medicine and now helps highly sensitive high achievers recover from burnout and learn how to work WITH their energy, rather than against it.
In this episode, we talk all things self-sabotage including:

We dive into the 3 core fears or ways we hold ourselves back.
