Here's the deal...
Life can burn you out
Sometimes we get stuck. We get stuck because we can't find our way through the tunnel of our most difficult feelings - rage, grief, despair, helplessness. We get lost and in a place where we believe there is no way out. What if I could show you another way?

How does she know?
After 20 years in education and navigating a life filled with adventures, stressors, and everything in between, I've learned a few things about living a sustainable life on the other side of exhaustion and burnout. Over the years, I have learned something crucial: The burnout epidemic isn't about lack of resilience.

It's about fundamentally broken systems that profit from exhaustion.
I am done being polite about it.
Most burnout advice treats exhaustion like a personal failure. My work opens you up to the information your body is giving you and help you decode what it's actually saying.

What does she do?
In our work together, I bring big, bold energy to deep transformation work. I believe in cultivated silence AND disruptive truth. I practice what I teach - which means I have learned through lived experience what happens when we ignore our body's wisdom, and what becomes possible when we finally listen.

Why Hire Patricia as Your Next Speaker?
Patricia doesn't deliver tepid wellness advice or surface-level self-care tips. She brings two decades of leadership experience, a bankruptcy story, and bold truth-telling about the systems that create burnout in the first place. Your audience will leave with practical tools they can use immediately AND permission to stop performing resilience they don't feel - which means higher retention, better performance, and teams that actually want to show up. She's the speaker for organizations ready to have honest conversations about sustainable success instead of perpetuating burnout culture.
The Art of Strategic Stopping:
Why high-achieving women need to unlearn hustle culture to reclaim sustainable power
Beyond Self-Care Theater:
Understanding your unique energy design to prevent burnout before it happens
The Burnout Epidemic:
How broken systems profit from exhaustion and what we can do about it
"The Burnout Epidemic: How to Stop Playing a Rigged Game"
The burnout crisis isn't a personal failure problem - it's a systemic design flaw that profits from your exhaustion. In this talk, Patricia exposes how traditional productivity culture keeps high-achievers trapped in unsustainable patterns and offers a radically different framework for reclaiming your energy and power.
"Don't Mistake Rest for Weakness: Why High-Achievers Need to Unlearn Hustle Culture"
For women over 40 who've been conditioned to equate worth with productivity, strategic rest feels like giving up. Patricia dismantles the hustle culture mythology and teaches audiences how to recognize rest as the most powerful leadership move they can make - backed by energy design principles and real-world transformation stories.
