If November felt intense for you too, here’s what helped me stay grounded while supporting dozens of leaders this month.

November was a full, beautiful, and stretching month. Between workshops for the Amsterdam Research Club, the Professional Women’s Network, and Seeds to Lead - plus speaking at the Global Woman event in Florence - I had the privilege of guiding women (and men) through the work of reclaiming control of their time and energy.

But with a month this full, staying grounded wasn’t a luxury - it was essential.
Here are the three things that made the biggest difference:

1. Staying connected to my mission
Every time I stepped into a room - in person or online - I reminded myself why this work matters: helping leaders show up with clarity instead of chaos, and energy instead of exhaustion. That reminder kept me centered and energized, even on the busiest days.

2. Protecting my non-negotiables
My own energy rituals - short movement, proper fuel (food), mindful transitions between sessions - became even more important. They’re small, but they kept me present, steady, and able to give fully without draining myself.

3. Celebrating impact, not just activity
Record-breaking engagement at the Amsterdam Research Club, powerful feedback from participants, article features, and my award this month all reinforced the same message: impact grows when energy is aligned.
Pausing to acknowledge that kept me grounded and grateful.

And now, with December underway, I’m carrying these same principles forward while wrapping up the final workshops of the year and supporting my individual coaching clients.

✨ Availability Update
My workshops and speaking engagements for December are fully booked, but I have limited availability for January and beyond. These tend to fill up quickly, so if you’re planning ahead for your team or community, now is a good time to connect.

Here’s to ending the year grounded, focused, and energized. 💪💛

Kerry-Lyn Stanton-Downes on the Real Crisis We’re Ignoring: Relational Poverty

In a world obsessed with performance, data, and productivity, Kerry-Lyn Stanton-Downes is urging leaders to look somewhere far more human the space between us. In her forthcoming book Beyond Words, she challenges the dominant narrative of a “mental health crisis,” arguing that what we’re truly facing is a relational poverty epidemic. Drawing on two decades of work with leaders and teams across industries, Kerry-Lyn reveals how disconnection — not disorder — lies at the heart of burnout, anxiety, and disengagement.

The Unexpected Energy Booster for Women Leaders

So many women leaders share that they feel tired, stretched thin, and like they’re carrying the weight of their responsibilities.
And over time, that heaviness often turns into running on autopilot - doing what needs to be done, but feeling less and less energized.

In my new article for Global Woman Magazine, I explore a source of energy we tend to overlook - one that is surprisingly simple, incredibly restorative, and essential for preventing burnout:

Fun.

Inside, I dive into:
- why seriousness drains our energy faster than we realize
- the link between joy, resilience, and leadership clarity
- two accessible ways to bring back a sense of lightness
- how fun strengthens emotional regulation and presence

If you’ve been craving a bit more spark or aliveness in your day-to-day leadership, this one will speak to you.
