Nicole Barksdale Coaching
Explore how prioritizing yourself can move you beyond burnout.
And how to do it without guilt, fear of judgment, or damaging relationships.
Learn the skills necessary to get to the root of your burnout, prioritize your own needs guilt free, let go of what causes resentment and rediscover what brings you joy.
Imagine a life without feeling burned out. A life where you can enjoy your work again. A space to maintain healthy relationships with both yourself and those around you.
Mindset and Wellness Coaching is for you if......
On the outside, people think you have it all together, but on the inside it's a different story!
You're feeling exhausted both at work and at home. You're experiencing an internal sense of failure and self-doubt. Leaving you feeling helpless, trapped, and defeated. Feeling alone in the world despite being surrounded by people. You're experiencing a loss of motivation at work and finding yourself becoming increasingly cynical.
Taking time off of work not helping?
Find yourself becoming resentful of what you've lost at the expense of "doing it all" and make sure those around you get their needs met and you don't know how to ask for help?
I have good news for you. Burnout happens but staying burned out is a choice! Time to take control of your busy life and choose joy! You don't have to live like this!
I can help!
Working with me means that you not only have a clinically trained coach, but you also have someone who has first-hand experience of overcoming burnout.
I help high-achieving women with high-functioning anxiety manage stress, avoid overcommitting, and achieve a balanced life without guilt or burnout.
In fact, I've created a free guide for it.
FIND OUT:
If you're struggling with high-functioning anxiety and learn effective strategies to navigate it.
You're experiencing complete mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion and have tried all the tricks you've read on the internet but nothing seems to be working.
You need help figuring out what step to take next.
Coaching with a clinically-trained expert is the fastest way to get there.
What is Mindset and Wellness Coaching?
1:1 and/or group coaching to help you get the clarity, motivation, and creativity back into your professional life while prioritizing yourself so that you can be present in your personal life.
A safe place to learn the skills necessary to SUCCESSFULLY
Create a life that reflects what's important to you as you pursue your desired success!
As a clinically trained psychotherapist turned Mindset and Wellness Clini-Coach®, I can help you do these things. I'm also:
Your Accountability Partner
I will support you to maintain progress on a desired goal.
Your Guide
Rather than telling you what to do, I'll give you guidance on what has worked for others...and then it's up to you to choose whether, and how to, incorporate that information into your own life!
Your Motivator
Rather than telling you what to do, I'll give you guidance on what has worked for others...and then it's up to you to choose whether, and how to, incorporate that information into your own life!
A Mindset and Wellness Coach is NOT...
A Therapist
Therapists manage mental illness and treat clinical issues, whereas coaches do not. Therapists can often see people over long periods of time, whereas coaches tend to work with people for short periods of time.
A Bestie
As your coach, I'm completely objective and non-judgmental. Even with their best intentions, friends come with their own biases and agendas. I'm also a trained professional who will challenge you and push you outside of your comfort zone much more so than your bestie will likely do.
A Crutch
My goal is to help you clarify your goals, explore and build your own internal motivation for change, and provide you with the education and tools necessary to help you achieve those goals. I'm not here to do the work for you. I will empathize and support in a compassionate way, while challenging you to take action..
So how does this Coaching thing work?
If your still reading, then chances are your....

Feeling disconnected from your authentic self leaving you feeling unfulfilled in many or all aspects of your life.

Meet Your New Coach
Hi, I'm Nicole.
I am a Certified Clini-Coach® with more than 17 years in the mental health field. Running a psychotherapy practice and working for the state of California for years resulted in me feeling completely burned out. I realized that my professional experience coupled with my personal experience makes me the perfect coach. I'm excited to begin working together so I can share how I learned to move beyond burnout and create a life I love.
A few fun facts about me:
After 15 years into my career, I realized that I was burned out and no longer had to feel that way. This aha moment was the best thing that ever happened to me.
While I did not realize that at the time, I can now see that this was a lesson-filled, life-changing moment in my life. More importantly, I realized that I was burned out, but staying burned out was a choice and I decided that burnout does not get to run my life!
I may be badass, but I can't give 100% to everything all the time.
I've worked hard in my personal and professional life and I can handle whatever is thrown my way, but it gets exhausting and I need a break too! Prioritizing my own needs allowed me to create the life I deserve!
I'm a wife and a sports mom to two teenagers.
The balance between work, personal life and SPORTS can be tough. But I wouldn't change watching my kids play the sports they love for anything.
