    An Overuse of Energy Without Focus and Direction Had Broken My Compass

    The result of expending too much energy without clear direction led to a destructive pattern in my behavior. This self-destructive behavior impacted both my professional and personal life, and the timeline for a breaking point in one or both areas was relatively short.

    My coaching journey with Karina helped me uncover the root cause of this behavior, and from there, we began working on regaining focus—one step at a time. Changing behavior is one of the hardest things to do, especially with my personality type. Gaining self-awareness is relatively straightforward, and it’s easy to reach the conclusion that things must change to avoid a negative outcome.

    However, my behavioral patterns moved in circles, making it incredibly difficult to shift even slightly toward a straighter path. The coaching process helped me get back on track, bringing more balance into my daily life. The exercise itself was simple: reducing the actions that made things harder for me while simplifying multiple aspects of my life. This created the space and time I needed to focus on what actually brought me joy and balance.

    The internal conflict between ego and self—which I often struggled with—began to lessen. But this was also when the toughest part of the process hit: the depressive state. The aftermath of my energy overuse had led to a deep exhaustion that, for me, felt like depression. Karina provided me with the tools to allow and accept this state rather than fight it. Despite how difficult it was, I focused on adding resources and balance to my life. The breakthrough was the reward.

    Releasing that depressive state eventually led me to a sense of joy—something that had felt distant for a long time. This breakthrough became the turning point in my journey. The more I allowed myself to experience and process these emotions, the more often I could tap into that joy, making all the difference in my personal growth.

    I realized that my self-view had been lacking respect—the conflict between different phases of my life and aspects of my personality had blurred my sense of clarity. But with practice, the exercises Karina provided helped me balance this internal split. Over time, the depressive episodes became shorter and less intense. This is one of the most valuable tools I gained from the process, and I still rely on these exercises today. My journey is ongoing, as I continue working through unresolved emotions, but now with longer gaps between sessions and a stronger foundation.

    For me, the most important lesson is this: we all need a wingman—someone who helps us keep our internal compass aligned and, more importantly, reminds us to embrace life’s different phases. Sometimes, we need an external perspective to help us truly see ourselves.
