Hi!! I would love to hear from you!
Imagine reaching the breaking point—crying at the kitchen sink, feeling lost in the life you've built, and walking away from your family for several days just to breathe. This was certified coach Lilian de Vries reality before her extraordinary journey of self-discovery transformed her approach to life, relationships, and purpose.
Lilian, a former oncology nurse turned wellness coach, shares the raw and powerful story of how she took a six-month "sabbatical" from being a wife, mother, and daughter to focus solely on herself. What she discovered in the first hour of this journey changed everything: "I had full permission to look after me. I now had nobody to blame." This simple yet profound revelation became the foundation for her work with unstoppable women who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected from their own needs.
Throughout our conversation, Lilian reveals why nurses and healthcare professionals often struggle to prioritize self-care, and how the mindset that "the system owes me" prevents many from taking responsibility for their wellbeing. She explains the crucial difference between happiness (which depends on external circumstances) and joy (an attitude that defies all circumstances), offering practical strategies for cultivating the latter even in challenging environments.
Whether you're a healthcare professional feeling burnt out, someone struggling with boundaries in relationships, or simply seeking more balance and peace in your daily life, Lilian's insights will resonate deeply. Her mirror exercise for self-acceptance, techniques for recognizing saboteur voices, and perspective on relationships as a "third entity" provide transformative tools you can implement immediately.
Ready to move from surviving to thriving? Discover how asking yourself "What do I need right now?" rather than "What do I need to do?" can be the first step toward reclaiming your joy, purpose, and balance. Connect with Lilian's free support group for nurses or book a one-on-one call to explore how her coaching might support your journey.
