You're Not Broken-You have a Capacity Crisis!
-
You're exhausted, yet you keep pushing through.
-
You've become so good at "pushing through" that you don't even know when you're breaking, until it's too late.
-
You're praised for being strong, but no one sees how much it costs you.
-
You hold space for others—lead teams, manage homes, run classrooms, serve clients—but can't recall the last time someone held space for you.
-
You're doing all the "right" things—yet still feel behind.
-
You check off the self-care boxes, but feel more defeated than restored.
-
You bouce between overworking or perfectionism and quiet resentment or shut-down.
-
You're trying to self-care your way out of burnout from leadership and caregiving roles.
-
You want to protect your energy—but you've never been shown how to say "no" without guilt.
-
You've normalized some form of chaos, chronic stress, or overwhelm, but deep down, you're craving clarity.
-
You don't want to burn out or abandon your dreams—but slowing down or finding balance feels impossible.
-
You're tired of surviving and ready to reclaim peace and purpose...but don't yet know what thriving really looks like.
-
You know there's a better way, but don't know where to start.
In The Capacity Code™, capacity strategist and trauma expert Valarie dismantles the myths keeping us stuck in cycles of exhaustion, overcommitment, and frustration. With sharp insight and practical tools, she introduces a new way to think about energy, resilience, and success—one that doesn't require you to do more, but does require that you think and do differently.
