My transformative journey from exhausted to thriving

In my late twenties I was firing on all cylinders. I was head of learning and teaching at a large school, an education writer on the side, newly married, studying a master’s degree, with a vibrant social life. Then one September…I caught parvovirus (slapped cheek) from some students at school. They got better, but I didn’t. My virus morphed into chronic fatigue syndrome, which became my gloomy battlefield for the next three years. Thankfully, a combination of western and eastern medicine, intense rest and deep reflection led me back to health and vitality. But I was forever changed – because I learned that as a person passionate about knowledge and doing impactful work in the world, energy is my most precious resource. And to manage energy for the greatest possible good, means to be INTENTIONAL.

So, where am I today?

In 2022 I graduated with a Doctor of Education - the proud culmination of three years' full time study on top of full-time work, and full time parenting. The most common question I heard? "Bree... how did you do that?"

Now, I work with passion and intention in multiple roles across states and countries. I write, teach, speak, coach, and research. Most importantly, I make sure my two children are learning and thriving. Still, I hear... "Bree, how do manage all of that?"

The answer? A four-part research-informed framework that combines values-driven time management and productivity. I can teach you how to be intentional with your finite energy so that you experience joy and results in your work. I can also help you ensure your children's learning is developing, alleviating working mum guilt.
