Burnout Prevention with Grace Buffa

Burnout prevention to be a successful businesswomen and role model for her co-workers or employees, family and community.

Grace's journey has started out over 20 years ago when she started helping people heal as a Physical Therapist. After 8 years of working in a busy Physical Therapy department, she became a mom and stayed at home to raise her children. Life looked good from the outside. On the inside, she had struggled with bouts of depression, as this was a huge transition for her.  She thought by giving all her time and energy to her family that she was being a good mom and spouse. Little did she know that not having her own passions, dreams and desires to fulfill that she was living an unbalanced life that was depleting her and keeping her from living a life she fully loved.

Her journey evolved over the last 13 yrs or so as her love for studying nutrition, becoming a yoga teacher and finally a Certified Coach has lead her on a journey of self-discovery. She found out that wanting to fulfill desires and needs for herself didn't make her a bad mom, as she learned how to shift her mindset and through habit change she learned how to balance her passion for helping others in her career all the while raising her family.  She understands how important it is to balance her life in order not to experience burnout as well as be preventive in her health to continue to live the life she loves.  When she found balance, she became a better mom, spouse, business owner and leader in her community.  So, taking time for self-care and stress management is a vital part of being preventative in her over all physical and mental health. This is the cornerstone on how she thrives in all areas of her life.

She has become an ICF Certified Coach and Motivational Speaker to help others do the same. She understands what it's like to not be confident, worthy, and to be spread thin.

This is why she is passionate in helping women in Corporate and women Entrepreneurs to not only prevent burnout but stay healthy and find balance in all aspects of their lives and love who they are inside and out.
