    🔗 Take the Quiz and Sign up for the FREE class this Friday: 

    This Friday, March 29th, I’m hosting a FREE, short class that will help you “spring” into your energy where I’ll be guiding you through the fast and simple “Get Your Degree of Heat Number to Get Out of Burnout” so that you will know:



    Exactly where you are in your burnout right now

     What that means for your energy 

    and 

    What to do next to begin your journey out of burnout without feeling like you are adding something else to your “to do list.”



    When you take the Spicy Pepper Burnout Quiz you get a Pepper Level result from a Level 1 Poblano Pepper where there is just a little bit of heat up to the Ghost Pepper Level 5 where you’re so hot, you’re not.  Every Spicy Pepper level has a scale within it called the Degree of Heat.  



    The Degree of Heat gives you deeper insight and understanding into how burnout is impacting you right now in 7 key areas:

    Your sleep quality and patterns

    How you plan, monitor & execute

    How much info you can retain and process during an activity 

    Your 8 sensory areas

    Your emotional regulation and processing

    How you communicate under stress



    When you know your Degree of Heat number within your Spicy Pepper Level you then have the first Energy Map GPS location on your journey out of burnout.  This number lets you know if you’re closer to moving deeper into burnout and a hotter pepper level or moving closer to gaining more energy.  



    Each GPS location has a unique, step-by-step Energy Map to support your journey out of burnout with ease. 

    When you show up live to this event next week, you’ll also receive a PDF download of your unique Spicy Pepper to Energy Master Map with timeline markers and insights on where to begin as my gift to your future, Energized self.
