Managing Your Generosity to Prevent Burnout with Saleema Vellani
On this episode of The Prosperous Empath®, I’m thrilled to sit down with Saleema Vellani, an accomplished 9x founder (3 exits) and award-winning author of the bestselling book, Innovation Starts with I. She’s the founder and CEO of Ripple Impact, which helps seasoned professionals and corporate exiters build profitable, purpose-driven portfolio career businesses and pursue their dreams. She invests in women-owned early-stage startups, sits on the National Speakers Association DC Chapter board, and teaches Entrepreneurship at Johns Hopkins University. Saleema also speaks five languages and has traveled to 100+ countries. But what many people don’t know about her is that Saleema experienced profound burnout as she was scaling her business. As part of her recovery process, Saleema had to accept the realization that entrepreneurship is, first and foremost, a personal growth journey. She had to dig deep into herself to uncover what it means to truly invest in your well-being, come out of crisis mode, and build a business strategy that was aligned with her values. Listen to our conversation to learn more about burnout recovery and the valuable lessons Saleema discovered along the way..

RECONNECT WITH
Your inner disruptor and make those power moves in business and life, unapologetically
Ironic isn't it? As high achievers who are smart, kind, and intuitive, we're capable of so much more but our internalized capitalism keeps us exhausted and striving.

Imagine a world where you can be your joyful, badass self all the time - without suppressing your natural tendencies of warmth, intuition, and kindness.
Here, you build and scale your business with plenty of white space on your calendar and lead your team with wisdom and grace. Decision-making is easier because you trust yourself and truly believe in your potential.

And look at that - you're blossoming in all your relationships - professional and personal - without resentment or compassion fatigue.

Who We Are
Life, leadership, and executive coaches who hold space for your audacious dreams and biggest leaps
Founder Catherine Wood is a Master Certified Coach (only 4% of coaches in the world are MCCs), and as a team we bring 80+ years of coaching experience to the table.
But we're not just about that.
We coach with a whole lotta empathy and vulnerability because we know how it feels to do everything by the book and still feel like you don't belong in your own life.
Catherine discovered coaching (with major skepticism at the outset) at a time when everything looked enviously good on the outside, but out of alignment on the inside.
Working with her own coach guided Catherine back to her truth and helped her create the life and business she always dreamed of.
Now we help our clients become the architects of their own destiny and experience JOY beyond socially defined success markers.
Our Promise
Masterful coaching that transforms how you relate to yourself and helps you reconnect with your desires, your confidence and your joy
Here you're seen and celebrated in your whole humanity: as a trailblazing CEO and an intuitive, big-hearted human who's done living someone else's idea of an ideal life.
Develop self-trust and take ownership of your narrative in a safe space to create holistic success. We believe you're the expert on your life.
Challenge your inner ceilings and shift from dreaming to doing, while being grounded in your truth.
