Early on in her career as an ICU Registered Nurse, Avery noticed that the majority of the reasons her patients 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 in 2015 and started building her business to help high achievers prevent and reverse the negative health effects of stress. Despite practicing what the research showed was effective, Avery experienced a significant episode of burnt out at the end of 2018 and this has left her with a chronic illness and disability. Frustrated that she was "doing everything right" and it still didn't prevent burnout, Avery dove back into the research and looked more carefully at her own habits and beliefs and found the missing pieces of the puzzle to truly prevent burnout.
