About Yvonne

From where it began

Embrace life. Make sure to have time to enjoy life. Let me share a little about me.

I love to work.. friends, to relax and workout. I like to have it all, running a thriving business, being an amazing mum and partner, as well as taking care of me. Having enough time to slow down when I need or want to, and these days I can.

That was not always the case; I used to be a workaholic, working day and night. Struggling to find the right balance. Even till the point that I suffered from a burnout. I then decided to start minimizing and do less of everything. This worked but was boring, so as soon as I regained energy I said yes to everything and everyone again. Draining my energy, and making me land in a vicious circle.

Until I discovered what it was that made me loose my balance, my energy each time: I did not say yes to only those things Í wanted and needed, I said yes to all. Most of the times I did not even take myself into account whilst agreeing to something. As soon as I started to say yes to only those things I wanted and needed, my energy levels and fun improved significantly.

What a revelation to discover this: saying yes to all and still being in balance is possible.

I had to learn this in the corporate world, and then again in my business. As a business owner I had to learn how to attract clients with ease, without working hard.

Now, I can finally say I am a recovering workaholic.

The recovery has helped me tremendously and given me: freedom, focus and makes me feel good about myself. It allows me to get more done in less time and improved my relationships. But above all I have more energy and am in balance, allowing me to work as little as I want and still fully enjoy my family, friends and other fun elements of life.
