This was Jeanette.
This is the version of Jeanette that ultimately led to burnout.
She didn't know how to make her passions fuel her in a way that was nurturing. She didn’t know how her passions were meant to be the gateway to her gifts. Her gifts of compassion, love, and activating fire.
She later went on to college to study business. Finding it was rooted in such masculine energy and limitations - that it actually pushed her away from wanting to start a business in the first place. How was the very thing she knew she was destined for making her feel so icky?
That was the only way. Or so she thought. And she realized yet again, if you're not the owner of a business that you're working for, you are working in a system.
And she did not like the current way business was being run. So she didn't want to create a business, not without knowing a roadmap.
From there, she went into the family business.
Her family health fate took a turn for the worse and her family-run business became the culprit of their ill-health. When she, her mom, her dad, AND her grandmother were all hospitalized within two weeks of each other and they thought, why are they the sickest people they know?
With that, Jeanette slowly started pulling away from the business when each one of her and her family members was having different sicknesses. Jeanette became a caregiver - a reluctant caregiver.
Yes. A reluctant caregiver even to her grandmother. Knowing that it was right, she didn't know what to do intuitively. And unbeknownst to her, she became a mother.
That's when she stepped into a mothering energy. She treated her grandmother, her mother and her father like they were her children and tried to raise them.
She did this in the only way she understood - which was compassionate and empowering them. Through her doing this for the three of them all under one roof, Jeanette burned herself out while helping heal them.
And one thing led to another, ultimately burying her grandmother.
