The Burnout Queens wisdom: Your effort is a direct mirror of your self-worth and self-approval

Hello from Brighton & London: 2 January 2016

January 2, 2016

How was your December Darling? We hope you are resting-up after the hectic, frantic antics of the festive season. The Burnout Queens and Pups are having a leisurely holiday break and will be ‘back in the saddle’ in early January.

We love surrounding ourselves with beauty and holiday time in London fits the bill nicely. We tripped up to London for a day of walking, shopping and sightseeing in Piccadilly (outside The Ritz) and Carnaby Street (we’re 60’s children so Carnaby means a special groovy) to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the decorations.

This holiday was purposely quieter than last (we had 5 family members from Canada visiting, ho, ho, ho). This is our first Christmas seaside so we shared meals with new friends, walked The Lanes and Laines (yes they are different), started a new puzzle (what were we thinking) and got creative redecorating and reorganising (the pups think these are great toy balls).

Of course there’s been a lot of cuddling the pups, eating chocolates and watching telly cause that’s the perfect mix for these two HSPs. But you know us, we are never far away from a good cup of tea and cake!

Listen, if your holidays didn’t go to plan and you swear you’re tossing the whole thing next year, take heart darling and grab our video “It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Chaos”. We’ve extended our Christmas Chaos Charity Campaign to January 5th, so here’s your chance to make next year more delightful rather than dreadful! The bonus is with a mere £2 purchase, we (that’s you, us and the UK gov’t) give a young girl an education instead of spending her days walking miles to gather water. How Burnout Queen brilliant!

What’s left? We have lots of ideas swimming in our heads ready to put down on paper for all of you, but more about that later. For now…

Love for 2016!

Be The Woman You Were Meant To Be!

December 19, 2015

Are you ready? Are you ready to step out into the world as the authentic powerful, sensitive and creative woman you are? Well, my Darlings, the world is ready and waiting for you!

It’s time! It’s time to stand strong in who you are and stop pretending you are less! It’s time for you to shout it to the world…

“It’s COOL to be ME!”

The world needs you! You have an obligation to share your brilliance with the world so that the rest of us can grow in wisdom, depth, compassion and understanding.

When you embrace your strengths, talents, and gifts you contribute to the world.

Whenever you are true to yourself you inspire others. You inspire your family, your friends, and your colleagues. In fact, you can be an inspiration to anyone you connect with. Everyone has something unique to offer and by living your own unique truth you give others the courage to do the same.

In an everyday spiritual kind of way you are inspirational just being yourself.

So we have to ask…Do you keep parts of yourself secreted away? Do you hide, discredit, minimise or deny your true gifts? It’s time for you to own your truth and be clear about what you have to offer!

So, there is no more time for excuses! It’s time for you to value your talents, gifts and strengths and it’s definitely time for you to share your beliefs, ideas, and opinions! When you do you will be amazed at how opportunities and possibilities open up in your life.

Now, maybe up to this point you haven’t been comfortable about giving the gift of being yourself to yourself, but we know you are very good at doing for others or you wouldn’t be a Burnout Queen! So here’s the thing…with more and more opportunities in your own life you have more ways to touch others, open doors for them, encourage them and lift them up! Now that feels really good.

The clock is about to strike midnight on the year, but it’s never too late! In fact, it is always the perfectly right time to be the woman you were meant to be. Get ready to stand up bravely and boldly and say…

Hey World…this is ME!
And it’s COOL to be ME!

We love you Burnout Queens! Let the world know how great you are! It’s time to show up in your life…crown and all!
