When Empowerment Becomes Exhaustion
A Manifesto for Women Burned by the System That Promised Liberation

She did everything right.
The degree. The job. The grind. The glow.
She leaned in, leveled up, showed up again and again.
But somewhere along the way, what looked like liberation began to feel like a trap.

This book is for the woman who feels like she's falling apart but keeps getting praised for holding it all together.
It's for the woman who wakes up tired, performs power all day, and collapses at night wondering why she still feels behind.
It's for the woman who's done everything she was told would make her whole and ended up more fragmented than ever.

When Empowerment Becomes Exhaustion isn't a how-to guide. It's not a 5-step plan to fix your life.
It's a reckoning.
A truth-telling.
A rally cry.

Through bold chapters, real-life case studies, powerful letters from your future self, and poetic reframes called Bloom Buds, this book dismantles the myths that keep women over-performing, over-giving, and over-explaining. It redefines strength, unpacks burnout, and introduces the BLOOM Method, a somatic, soul-rooted framework for regulated, rebellious, real power.

You're not broken.
You're just done.

And this is where everything begins.
