Lisa Spencer is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her passion and kindness.
She spent nearly three decades in senior leadership within the corporate technology industry, leading global teams in high pressure environments. From the outside, she looked successful, but internally she was deeply burnt out and disconnected from herself.
She experienced firsthand the identity loss and emotional exhaustion that burnout creates. Instead of rebuilding the same life, she chose to rebuild differently, transforming her own recovery into a new purpose.
She now helps women recover from burnout, regulate their nervous systems, and redesign their lives with clarity, boundaries, and intention, moving from survival mode to truly living. Here is what she said…
Name: Lisa Spencer
Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind
Who is this coach for: Women who are experiencing burnout or are on the edge of it and are ready to reconnect with themselves and rebuild their lives with clarity and intention.
How they can help: By guiding clients through her Reignite Method using emotional intelligence tools, nervous system regulation practices, reflective workbooks, and personalised coaching frameworks to restore safety, clarity, and aligned action.
Like many people, I have had to navigate uncertainty, loss, and change.
I have learned that resilience is not about pushing through at all costs.
It is about slowing down, listening, and responding with intention.
These times have deepened my commitment to living and leading more consciously, both personally and professionally.
My journey with coaching began after the pandemic, as I was on my own path of recovery during 2020 and 2021.
My view is that the pandemic did not create burnout.
It exposed it.
Many of the people I speak to realised they had been surviving on autopilot for years.
When they were forced to stop, they realised how burnt out they truly were.
For me personally, it accelerated my decision to step away from traditional definitions of success and build a business rooted in wellbeing, alignment, and meaning.
Being forced to slow down helped me realise that my passion for helping people could become something I could shape into a meaningful business.
I spent nearly three decades in senior leadership roles within the corporate technology industry, specifically telecommunications, leading teams, managing change, and supporting people through high pressure situations on a global level.
Ironically, it was that environment that led me to become a Burnout Coach because of my own experience with burnout.
Like many people on the outside, I was successful.
Internally, I was deeply burnt out and not living with intention, just holding it together for everyone else until I could not anymore.
Burnout forced me to pause and ask hard questions about identity, purpose, and what a meaningful life actually looks like.
My coaching journey began as my own recovery evolved into a calling.
I had finally found my purpose, perhaps the purpose I was always meant for.
I knew with every single cell of my body, as I still do now, that I needed to help others in burnout, either through prevention or recovery.
Today, I help women from all walks of life recover from burnout, reconnect with themselves, and redesign their lives with clarity and calm.
By far, the biggest obstacle was the identity loss that came with the abrupt end of my career.
Everything I knew, who I thought I was, that sense of belonging, being needed, and having important responsibilities was suddenly gone.
Letting go of who I thought I should be was far harder than rebuilding who I wanted to become.
My defining moment came when I realised that I no longer needed what I once had.
I did not need to miss it or rebuild it.
What I needed to do was let go and allow myself to be open to more fulfilling opportunities and growth that felt more aligned than ever before.
That moment was hugely emotional in a very positive way.
I had finally turned my pain into purpose.
Trust your gut.
It is telling you something important.
You do not have to start from zero when you rebuild from burnout.
Take the parts of your life that worked for you.
Understand that your life experience is priceless and build from there.
Always be open to the possibility that this could be the very best chapter of your life.
You will belong again…
You will be more fulfilled than ever before…
You must be prepared to put in the work that you have never had to do before.
Most of all, be resilient.
Do not give up.
Keep going.
I integrate emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, mindset work, and practical life redesign, not just goal setting.
My clients do not need more pressure or productivity hacks.
They need safety, clarity, and permission to rebuild.
Innovation for me means coaching the whole human, not just the ambition.
Using my own experience of burnout and knowing how awful it can be is hugely impactful.
Getting to the source of the energy drain is critical.
Understanding that this can be regulated with the correct teaching method and simple tools that can be used in everyday life is essential.
Small changes can have a profound impact.
Boundaries are also key to preventing burnout and supporting recovery.
Understanding how to implement these in all aspects of life without guilt is a critical part of my burnout coaching.
With a safe and simple approach, the impact can be huge.
Both steps require the client to be very honest, open, and willing to adopt a coachable mindset.
This is something I also teach in Pillar 1 of my Reignite Method, Reset and Reclaim.
I speak from lived experience, not just theory.
I can meet people exactly where they are and adapt to where they want to be.
I created The Reignite Method, a three pillar emotionally intelligent framework built around the support I wish I had during my own burnout recovery.
Pillar 1 is Reset and Reclaim, which focuses on calming burnout and restoring safety.
Pillar 2 is Reconnect and Realign, which focuses on rediscovering identity and purpose.
Pillar 3 is Rise and Redesign, which focuses on taking aligned action toward a meaningful life.
They gain clarity, confidence, emotional regulation, stronger boundaries, renewed energy, and a restored sense of self.
Most importantly, they stop surviving and start living with intention.
They are able to speak openly with someone who has lived through what they are experiencing or approaching.
Yes, I use reflective workbooks, emotional intelligence tools, nervous system practices, and personalised coaching frameworks.
The most powerful tool, however, is creating a safe and non judgemental space where people can finally exhale and be themselves.
It is a space where they can be honest, open, and speak freely without judgement.
You do not need to do this alone.
Burnout is not a weakness… it is a warning from your nervous system that something is wrong.
It is a sign that you have been living disconnected from yourself for too long.
You do not need to become someone new to create a better life.
You need to stop abandoning yourself to meet expectations that were never yours to live up to.
You need to find peace in what you love again.
I want everyone to know that with the right help, anything is possible.
You already have all the answers.
You just need to know the right questions to bring them to the surface.
That is where I can help.
Lead with love, always… you can be compassionate, ambitious, and successful without sacrificing yourself in the process.
Always listen.
Truly listen when you ask someone a question.
Most of all, do not quit.
Be patient and trust the process.
Burnout is not a personal failure.
It is a signal.
When we listen to it with compassion instead of criticism, transformation becomes possible.
You can be anyone you want to be.
You can become all that you have ever wanted to become.
You can have all that you have ever desired.
We simply need to reprogram where you have come from so you can take the path you truly desire.
Together, that is absolutely possible.
Make every day count.
If you do not know how, ask for help.
