Burnout doesn’t always feel like falling apart. 

Sometimes it looks like getting everything done..✅

Still leading meetings. 
Still meeting deadlines. 
Still showing up for everyone else.

But underneath it all, your body is quietly saying “I can’t keep pushing like this anymore.” 🤍

It can make you believe you’re fine because you’re still functioning. But functioning isn’t the same as being healthy. 

Share this post with a friend who keeps telling you “I am fine”, but you know they are not.

It wasn’t what I expected, but it's been a great side benefit.

Sparketype® isn’t about skills, habits, or personality traits. It's about the impulses that energize you and the ones that don’t.  

So when I started to understand what energizes my teenager compared to what energizes me, it helped me bridge the gap as a parent.  

It also gave us a language to talk about our differences which means we fight less.

The best way I can explain it is this:

Imagine we both walked into a garage and saw a table full of tools.  

My impulse would be to show him how to use the tool, and talk about what we could build with it.  His impulse would be to pick up the most interesting tool and research it to understand all the different things it could do 

Neither is wrong—just different.  

He’s not naturally thinking about how we can work on this together.

I'm not thinking about how many different ways the tool can be used. 

Understanding this difference helped me to stop taking things personally and stop judging him for not seeing it the way I do. 

Here are the 10 Sparketypes, with a short description,  starting with the most process-oriented to the most service-driven:

Maven – I live to learn

Maker – I make ideas manifest

Scientist – I figure things out.

Essentialist – I create order from chaos

Performer – I turn moments into magic

Sage – I awaken insight 

Warrior –  I gather and lead people

Advisor – I guide to grow

Advocate – I’m your champion

Nurturer – I’ve got you

You landed a new job. Great title. New company.

And yet…that old feeling is creeping in.

You still feel exhausted, drained and unfulfilled.

The problem may not have been the job itself. It was never knowing what actually energizes you and what quietly drains you.

That's exactly what the SparketypeÂŽ assessment helps you uncover.

And once you know it, things can shift.

When you reconnect to what energizes you (and recognize what drains you), you start to claim back pieces of yourself and find your rhythm.

From a CPA who just changed careers at 52, and has a son graduating high school this year...

➡️ Don’t get me wrong—a career in Finance has served me well and I don’t regret it.

But when I first went through the Sparketype process, I thought: “Oh my gosh, if someone had helped me understand this about myself before I chose a career, imagine where I’d be today!” 🤯

This hits home even more so now as my own son is graduating high school.

That’s why I work with students now, too.

Because giving a young person this kind of clarity BEFORE they pick a degree? Before they commit to a path?

That's a game-changer!

That’s the difference between stumbling through your 20s and actually building something INTENTIONAL.

So if you’ve got a teenager who has no idea what they want to do next—hit follow! ✨️

✋ Hands up if this is you:

🗃️ You’re really good at organizing…
So you end up managing everything from your kids hockey team to organizing work social nights and next thing you know you’re up at 10pm sending emails when you should be in bed.

🥰 You love helping people…
But you spend so much time taking care of your clients, your family, your friends that there never seems to be enough time for your own self-care.

🎨 You've got a knack for finding solutions…
And now, because you spoke up, the project becomes yours to lead (again) and you have to (again) put your own creative pursuits on the back-burner.

Sound familiar?

So why do you keep doing it?

Because at some level it feels like a win. And if you dig deeper, maybe there is an ego-boost for being the person that is always needed and relied upon.

Yet underneath it all that your body is really tired.

So what can you do? Start with a NO.

Simple but not always easy.

Say no to the extra project to manage, no to giving up your gym time, no to being the 7am carpool on Sunday. Pick a NO that gives you some space.

If this resonates, follow along, and maybe share it with someone else you know who also needs to stop saying yes to everything, just because they can get sh*t done.
