From unraveling to unbreakable.
Burnout recovery for mid-career women focused on structural change over self-optimization.
Who We Are
The Threadsmith Group works with burned-out mid-career women who are carrying more than their roles were designed to hold.
We skip surface-level advice and coping strategies and go straight to what is actually driving exhaustion: misaligned responsibility, invisible labor, unclear authority, and systems that quietly demand overextension. Together, we rebuild clarity, boundaries, and stamina that hold under real pressure.
This is coaching and advisory work focused on structural change, not therapy. We do not treat medical or mental health conditions, and we actively encourage licensed care when that is what someone needs.
Who You Are
You are exhausted, stretched too thin, and done pretending you can keep running on fumes. You have built real success by being reliable, thoughtful, and capable, and it has come at the cost of your health, your joy, and sometimes even your sense of self.
You are not burned out because you lack resilience, you’ve got plenty of that. You are burned out because responsibility kept expanding while support didn’t. You became the one who noticed, remembered, smoothed, absorbed, and carried what never officially belonged to you.
You know this way of working is not sustainable. You are ready to stop patching holes and start rebuilding a foundation that can actually hold.
This work is not a fit if you are looking for productivity hacks, advice to take more walks outside, or short-term relief without structural change.
Our Services
Individual Mentoring
When burnout becomes chronic, a vacation or a bubble bath isn’t going to solve it. Recovery comes from understanding what is actually unsustainable and changing it.
Individual mentoring with Threadsmith is focused, honest, and structural. This is one-on-one work for people who are capable, overwhelmed, and tired of being told to manage themselves better inside systems that keep demanding more.
Together, we look at:
What you are carrying that was never formally yours
Where responsibility and authority are misaligned
How expectations quietly expanded without support
What needs to change for your work to become livable again
This is not motivational coaching and it is not therapy. It is practical, relational work that helps you recover capacity, rebuild boundaries, and redesign how you work so burnout stops being inevitable.
You do not need to become tougher or more disciplined. You need work that no longer requires you to disappear to function.
Workshops/Retreats/Speaking
Burnout is not caused by a lack of self-care. Most people are tired of being offered shallow fixes for structural problems. “Take a walk outside” is not groundbreaking or revolutionary advice. Sorry, not sorry.
Threadsmith workshops, retreats, and talks cut through the noise and go straight to what is actually driving burnout and what needs to change. This work names the patterns, expectations, and incentives that quietly drain people and gives teams and leaders language for addressing them honestly.
Whether it is a keynote that brings clarity, a workshop that equips people with tools they can actually use, or a retreat that creates space to reset how work happens, our work leaves people with shared understanding, practical frameworks, and momentum they can carry forward.
This is not motivational speaking. It is grounded, direct work designed to help organizations stop burning people out at scale.
