Welcome to the Intrepid Wellness blog, a space where we navigate the path to holistic well-being together. I’m Valerie, and I am the captain of the ship at Intrepid Wellness. With Club Phoenix and all of my programming, my mission transcends beyond helping you take control of your health; it’s about elevating you from merely surviving to Vibrant and Thriving. We believe in empowering you to discover deeper purpose, find your inner strength, and live your truth.

The Vicious Cycle of Burnout and Low Self-Esteem

In our society, burnout often stems from a deep-rooted issue – the clash between our inner voice and the external world’s expectations. We tend to value others' opinions over our own, driving decisions that lead us away from our true needs. This constant pursuit of external validation depletes us, as we ignore our own needs and desires. It’s not just about physical exhaustion; it's an emotional and mental drain fueled by the neglect of our inner voice. Trust me, I know - I spent most of my life in a cycle of burnout because I wouldn't allow myself to embrace my own value, and spent years and countless dollars trying to get the next degree, the next certification, the next project that would finally validate my worth. But it never did, and I got farther and farther from my true desires and goals.

That is why I stand so strongly behind my mission to reignite the light from within.

At Intrepid Wellness, my mission is to guide you not just to health but to a life pulsating with purpose and vitality. I'm here to help you break free from the cycle of self-doubt and exhaustion, to a state where you live your truth and thrive in your authenticity.
