Excellent. The feeling of becoming mentally "unstuck" is great. This experience has helped me find the correct words to effectively express what I was thinking and feeling. I feel like I've been freed from mental quicksand.  The feeling of a safe space and deep support put me at ease and allowed me to relax right away.  As a man in a high-stress role who isn't accustomed to such support, this was a big deal.  I can confidently say that the Hum no longer rules my life. I am even losing weight. I feel more in control now than I can ever remember.

Before working with Celeste, I was so overwhelmed that I seriously questioned every career move I ever made and wondered if the sacrifices I made were even worth it. I realized that it wasn't the moves I made themselves, but the way I navigated my life in general. The patterns I perpetuated to keep me in overwhelm by default.  I could have gone on for the rest of my life like this and made rash decisions I would have certainly regretted in an attempt to get some relief. I am very grateful that I didn't have to do that. Thank you!

I gained a lot of clarity about MY personal type of overwhelm.  I was able to articulate my thoughts and feelings in a way I never could before because I just didn't have the language. I always knew something wasn't right, but didn't know how to figure out what was happening. I just knew I wasn't happy anymore and life felt like a treadmill of never-ending stuff to do and think about. I feel like I suddenly have a mental translator and a way to navigate what felt like foreign territory. The peace I feel right now is so surreal. I would recommend working with Celeste to anyone!

Excellent. For me, everything starts with the "why". I never truly viewed perfectionism as problematic or understood the breadth of its manifestation apart from spending a little too much time on trivial modifications (to emails, presentations, etc.) in ways that fit my standards, but did nothing to advance the message conveyed. I now see perfectionism is much more pervasive than that. Valuable, interesting, engaging, practical... I can apply this to my life immediately. 10 out of 10.

Working with Celeste and participating in The Hum has really helped me find myself amidst the overwhelm.  I suffer from perfectionism, procrastination, and struggle with all the "shoulds". I never thought I would ever find a way past this. I am now able to avoid the traps that I routinely set for myself (without guilt!) and enjoy a healthier, mentally-free life again.  I haven't felt this way in decades!

Understanding my procrastination and being able to zero in on it in a given moment makes me feel empowered. I found this very practical and easy to apply right away to better understand and modify my behaviors.

Understanding the foundation of my overwhelm was pivotal for me. It helped me understand why certain "asks" for my time have led to overwhelm. I love that I now know how to navigate it.
