About Desiree Howell

My name is Desiree. I’m a proud INFJ and highly-sensitive person (HSP). I’m obsessed with travel because I love learning about cultures, eating tasty food, and enjoying new experiences! When I’m not planning my next adventure, I love swimming (more like gently floating), bike riding, and reading historical fiction. I also love hanging out with my partner, two sons, and three cats! I love working with high-achieving women because you know how to make shit happen and aren’t afraid to work for your dreams to come true. After my own experiences with burnout, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, I realized that playing “by the rules” left me overwhelmed, disappointed and living a life out of alignment with my needs and personal values. If I say my family, health, and nature are important to me but I ignore my spouse, rush my children, work through meals, and rarely go outside because of a never-ending to-do list or pure exhaustion…I’m not living in alignment. A few wake up calls later (health, relationships), and I was ready to take some big leaps into healing and recalibrating my life. Are you ready? If your life is more pressure than pleasure, more computer screen than sunsets, and more tears than laughter…it’s time to rest, breathe, and realign. There is nothing wrong with you. Society expects women to do it all and rewards us for giving up our needs and dreams. F*** that!! You deserve to create a life that feels good, not just one that looks good. You deserve to have it all. Say yes to yourself and notice how much your loved ones benefit! As a trauma survivor and generational cycle breaker myself, I have committed to doing my own work to heal, grow, and thrive. Integrity is everything to me so I practice what I preach and model doing the hard things I encourage others to do. I know I cannot lead you on your journey further or deeper than I have been willing to go on mine. I would be honored to be your guide on your burnout recovery journey.
