From overworked to on purpose

The 3 shifts to work less, earn more & feel better

By Adri Geyer

“You don’t need to change your job.

You need to change how your mind works within it.”

If you’re a healthcare professional, chances are you didn’t choose this path for the paperwork or the pressure.

You did it because you care. You wanted to help people.

But somewhere between the late nights, the admin overload and the endless giving… something shifted.

You started feeling tired. Trapped. Torn between serving others and somehow saving yourself.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone, most heart-led professionals eventually hit the same wall. They’re overworked, underpaid and running on fumes.

And despite all their effort, the balance they crave never seems to show up.

Let’s clear something up right now.

You are not the problem. You are not failing. 

It is your brain wiring. 

There is a neuroscience reason you feel stuck

Here’s what’s actually going on: your primitive brain is running the show.

Its main jobs are to:

• Avoid discomfort (so it tells you to please everyone),
• Seek quick relief (so you procrastinate or scroll) and
• Conserve energy (so you talk yourself out of bold moves).

This part of your brain is brilliant at keeping you safe, but terrible at helping you grow.

It’s why you stay busy, tired and stuck in survival mode.

The good news?

You have another part of your brain, your prefrontal cortex, your “CEO” brain, that’s built for vision, planning and execution.

And when you learn how to use it intentionally, everything changes.

You don't have to push harder. You need to just think differently. 

That’s exactly what I teach inside my Bring Balance to Life program (Click HERE) a neuroscience-based coaching approach to help you manage your mind, regulate your emotions and take back control of your time, money and energy.

Let’s look at the three key shifts that make this transformation possible.

Shift 1: Stop overworking → work less with more focus

“Busy is not the same as productive.”

If you’ve ever ended the day exhausted but unsure what you actually accomplished,  this one’s for you.

You don’t need another productivity hack. And you don't need to sacrifice more.

You need a brain-management system.

You can achieve more through clarity, identity and regulation. When you use your CEO brain to plan your week, and if you do it from calm clarity instead of chaos, everything changes. You stop firefighting because you start to supervise and parent your primitive brain. You start directing it. Imagine learning the skill of honoring your schedule, end your day on time and actually feel proud of what you’ve accomplished (ps. This is actually possible as a skill and exactly what I teach).

The result?

You work fewer hours but deliver higher-value results — because you’re operating from focus, not fatigue.

Shift 2: Stop underearning → earn more by owning your value

“Underearning isn’t about money. It’s about identity.”

You were probably taught that service means sacrifice.

That good people don’t “do it for the money.”

But here’s the truth:

Money is simply an exchange of value and you create incredible value.

Money is a mirror of what you believe about your value. 

Most people I meet don't believe in their own value, the value they already deliver and the value that is possible for them to deliver. So they underearn. 

When you clean up your money mindset, you stop feeling guilty for wanting (and earning) more. You learn to define your offer, speak clearly about your worth and confidently charge for the transformation you create.

Money follows value, and value gets created by your brain (your ability to think, believe and manage your mindset). 

The result?

You start earning in alignment with your impact, not your exhaustion.

Shift 3: Stop feeling exhausted → feel better and build capacity

“Feeling better isn’t indulgence — it’s maintenance for high performance.”

You can’t grow from depletion.

Your body, emotions and and brain need regulation before they can create innovation.

Through emotional regulation and capacity-building tools, you restore your energy and finally end your days with fuel left in the tank for yourself, your family and the life you’re designing.

We have to shift from thinking that feeling better means slowing down as a weakness or laziness. To understand it as a step to emotional Intelligence and a capacity-builder. 

 The result?

You feel calm, clear, and connected, not just coping. Thriving. 

The truth about balance

Balance isn’t about doing less of everything.

It’s about doing the right things - from a calm, grounded mind and a regulated nervous system.

You don't need more discipline. 

You need a new way of thinking - about time, money and yourself. 

When you learn to manage your brain instead of letting your survival wiring run the show, you stop chasing balance and start creating it. 

• You stop overworking - because your worth is no longer measured by exhaustion.
• You stop under-earning - because you finally own the value you create.
• You stop feeling exhausted - because your mind and body are working together, not in opposition. 

This isn't theory - it's a repeatable process that rewires how you think, feel and act in your work and life. 

It’s a skill set and I’ll teach you how.
