Create balance while maintaining control
Avoiding Burnout - The Program
Living Aligned and Eliminating Overdrive
When life goes off the rails, you’ll have the tools to stay the course, and discover the true joy of living.
Freedom from overwhelm is key to joy, vitality, and peace of mind. Learn how to have it all without burning out.
This program will teach you how to increase your energy and regain control of your life.
→ You’re frustrated and defeated.
You feel like you’ve tried everything. You’ve worked so hard. You don’t give up. But something’s not adding up.
→ I’m here to reassure you that you’re not alone.
When you’re able to identify the internal patterns that hold you back, you can begin to gain insight into what keeps you stuck and, at last, move through it.
→ YES! You have the ability to overcome and rise above.
Wouldn't it feel amazing to release negative patterns and replace them with positive, change-making solutions?
You can figure it out. And, you don’t have to do it alone!
If you’re feeling defeated, overwhelmed, and lost, my “Avoiding Burnout” program was made for you!

I will guide you through the program. You will be surrounded by others who can empathize with you.
We help each other identify patterns that cause barriers, discover how they came to be, and begin to develop better ways of living. Sharing our experiences supports the growth of each participant and encourages them to move out of overwhelm, burnout, stress, and worry/anxiety, and into a state of relaxed and energized productivity.
This program will also help if you are struggling with:
fatigue, sleep issues
hypertension, headaches, poor memory
weight gain, especially in the abdomen
sexual dysfunction
irritability, clumsiness
easily distracted, cloudy thinking, scattered thoughts
worry, overwork, over commitment, over responsibility leading eventually to overwhelm
burnout, both emotional and physical
In the program, you will:
✔ Find a new source of energy, rather than running off of stress and anxiety.
✔ Feel empowered rather than defeated.
✔ Feel re-energized to do the things you enjoy doing.
✔ Restore your hopefulness and enthusiasm.
✔ Feel in charge of your life
This program is the culmination of 20 years of clinical experience. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from people just like you.
It’s time to earn back the energy you’ve exhausted!
Combat stress, exhaustion, powerlessness, and overwhelm, so you can recharge your body and your life.
I’m on a mission to change how we define success. The current definition requires a sacrifice of your wellbeing and happiness.
This program is for you if you’re:
tired of being tired
sick of worrying about things that are out of your control
an overachiever, but always feel like you need more
always giving so much, but resenting your job, your family, and your life choices
It’s time to make a change!
Hi! I’m Maryanne Nicholls!
I’ll be your program guide!
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), a certified Martha Beck Life Coach, and I hold certifications in EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Brainspotting, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Trauma & Attachment Psychotherapy.
I have a spiritual path that is earth-based, and in that way, has its roots in an Indigenous version of Shamanism. The leaders have provided their approval for me to share the knowledge I’ve gained.
I’m excited to lead you on a compassionate path to balance.

Program Schedule:
-
Introduction to the program. We’ll share what it’s about, discuss expectations and agreements. We’ll introduce each participant and facilitate discussions about goals, fears, and desires. We’ll share individual stories and give direction on next steps.
-
Introduction to the physics of stress and anxiety: You will learn what stress is, what it does, and how your brain and nervous system get triggered. We will examine the results of stress, PTSD, and burnout, with a focus on looking at how to get back to resilience.
-
Together we’ll review online Module 1. We’ll talk about your health and what you’re prioritizing. Are you feeling like ‘pulling the ripcord’ and getting out? Are you always on the hunt for the next thing? We’ll introduce you to the topic of boundaries and give new meaning to the Golden Rule!
-
We will look at the critical role breathing has in de-stressing and rebalancing. Learning to regulate and focus your attention on your breathing is one the simplest and most effective strategies for stress relief.
-
Exhaustion is often fuelled by frustration. If you find yourself thinking, “I contribute so much and get little or no validation” you’re likely feeling angry, defeated, and frustrated. But, you keep at it. You’re like a rock: steady, unphased, you help regulate others’ emotions. This leaves no room for you! The result: burnout.
We’ll dive into breathing techniques that you can practice in your day-to-day.
-
Dealing with the chaos created by stress and anxiety is often experienced as running out of time and space. When we are stressed we are always focused on the future and have no place for the present. We will explore the importance of being in the present by offering resources required for stress relief.
-
We’ll get deep ing into creating boundaries in your life, to stray from the path to overwhelm and burnout. We’ll introduce a character style that you’ll feel deeply connected to. Finally, we’ll talk about the tendency to use “armoring” as a pattern of defence.
-
Keeping stress at bay means taking time to properly nourish yourself, both physically and mentally. Proper nourishment and controlled eating can help you calmly approach everyday tasks, creating space for greater ease and fulfilment.

-
Self-care paves the road to balance. Stress and feeling overwhelmed is more than an emotional response – the way you take care of your body affects your level of stress and your available energy. You’ll learn powerful methods for physical self-care, helping you stay healthy and energetic, while reducing or eliminating the effects of stress.
-
There are many reasons we struggle to prioritize self-care. You might fear that people may discover something unfavourable about you. You might fear that you’ll never achieve anything unless you burn the candle at both ends. Working on yourself might feel exposing.
From a holistic view, we’ll walk through what a healthy balance in life looks like: emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and sexual.
-
Getting a good night’s rest is essential for reducing stress and supporting yourself in a balanced way. You'll learn about what sleep and dreams do for you, and how you can get enough of both.
-
Let’s talk sleep. The connection between sleep and stress is a common struggle (i.e. ruminating). Your bedtime routine, napping, and waking in the middle of the night all affect how you function in your life. You will learn to identify your sleep patterns and learn tools to improve them.
-
Stress and worry stems from a lack of connection to self, to others, and to our surroundings. We were born to connect; now it’s time to re-connect. We’ll look at how chaos and disorganization of living stressed and anxious lives can lead to isolation. We’ll look at how isolation manifests as addictive tendencies. When we treat the underlying causes of isolation , we make space for connection.
-
We’ll cover Martin Buber’s contribution to attachment theory, various attachment styles, and where you fit on the attachment spectrum. We’ll discuss more on addiction and isolation, and introduce the concept of co-dependence
-
Build resilience into your life, know how to deal effectively with stressful situations, and break the cycles that don’t serve you. Relaxation is the goal of your stress-reduction journey. For many of us, relaxation can be difficult to achieve. Relaxing is about developing resilience. We’ll delve into what resilience looks like and how you can use it to live free of stress, chronic tiredness, and worry.
-
We’ll dive deep into resilience and introduce co-empowerment and true interdependence. We’ll also begin working with your personalized worksheet
-
You want to do it all and that’s ok!! So, how can you “do it all” and not break. We’ll complete the first draft of your personalized worksheet and have room for discussion.
