In a world filled with pressure to push ourselves to the limit in pursuit of success and validation, one woman’s burnout led to a life-changing realization that transformed her entire approach to life.
Alicia Ingruber, an empowerment coach and somatic yoga teacher, shares her journey of hitting rock bottom and rising again through self-love and self-care.
After years of striving for perfection in her career, relationships, and physical appearance, Alicia found herself lying on her yoga mat, unable to move, overwhelmed by exhaustion and the ache of failure. Despite all her efforts, she felt like she was never enough.
In a moment of realization, Alicia heard her body pleading with her. Why was she pushing herself so hard? Why was it never enough? This moment of introspection led Alicia to make a life-changing decision.
“I’m going to listen to you,” Alicia promised her body. “We are going to do this TOGETHER.”
This commitment marked the beginning of Alicia’s healing journey. She left her job, her relationships, and the life she had built, and focused on rebuilding a relationship with herself and her body.
Through months of self-reflection and self-compassion, Alicia learned to love herself without the need for external validation. Burnout had stripped away everything she had worked for, leading her to rediscover her true identity and purpose.
By embracing her Human Design as a Projector and learning to manage her energy in a sustainable way, Alicia found a new path forward. She built a business based on her passions, coached women, and held retreats around the world – all without the extreme hustle she was used to.
Through this journey, Alicia discovered the power of loving her body and setting boundaries. She went from overworking in a job she hated to running a purpose-led business and surrounding herself with supportive people.
Alicia’s story serves as a powerful reminder that taking care of our minds and bodies is essential for true success and fulfillment. By listening to our bodies, setting boundaries, and practicing self-love, we can create a life that is aligned with our true selves.
