Experience the blueprint of successful founders using strategic rest and energy management to break free from #FounderOverdrive and burnout.
Course overview
Not because they run out of funding - or because their product or service sucks. They fail because the person holding it all together— you, the founder—is in FounderOverdrive, running on fumes.
Most traditional startup accelerators obsess over MVPs, product-market fit, fundraising, and scaling fast. Important stuff, for sure!
But the irony is that they completely ignore what really makes or breaks the success of ANY startup: your health, brain power, and energy levels.
So even if conventional wisdom says that sacrificing sleep and rest to work longer hours is the path to success, the stats are clear...
📉 85% of founders experience extreme stress
🧠 45% have experienced burnout
😴 55% struggle with insomnia
🔎 49% have considered quitting their company
THE GRIND isn't the way succeed.
❌ No strategy works if you're running on empty.
❌ No funding round will fix a clouded mind & accelerated heart rate.
❌ No amount of late nights will turn exhaustion into creativity.
A successful business doesn’t come from operating in overdrive — it's built on strategic rest, resilience, and energy management.
Founders and leaders who prioritise mental well-being are more likely to succeed, with stronger team engagement, sharper decision-making, and greater innovation capacity as byproducts.

FemTech Founder | Culture Designer | Leadership Expert
Fifteen years ago, my brain hit a wall.
I was working in a high-pressure role while caring for my terminally ill mother. My nervous system was in overdrive, I couldn’t sleep, and even the simplest tasks felt impossible.
Like most folks, I kept going, thinking everything would be okay - until one day, I couldn’t hold it together. I crashed and burned.
Nidra napping was one of the practices that helped me rebuild. It reset my nervous system, boosted my energy levels and helped me find my way back.
I learned the hard way that energy is my most precious currency. With it, anything is possible. Without it, nothing meaningful happens.
Now, I’m on a mission to redefine how we work and empower fellow founders to rebel against the cult of busyness through the transformative power of deep rest and intentional energy management.
Fueling yourself with the capacity you need is an inside job—it starts with rest, renewal, and learning how to manage your energy, not (just) your time.
Sof, if you’re ready to choose well-being over exhaustion and balance over burnout, join me! I’d love to have you along!
