A few years ago, I was completely burnt out after 20+ years in tech—especially as a woman in the industry. I felt empty inside, with no passion or joy. Each day became just another item to check off my to-do list. The burnout crept up so gradually that I thought it was just normal! When I finally talked to a therapist, I realized it wasn't. Being a "fix it" person, I dove into research and experimented with different approaches to healing. Through a combination of self-reflection, writing, community, and mindfulness, I've transformed into someone far removed from that burned-out person I used to be. That's why I created this community—to share what I've learned and build a space where we can support each other. To start: - Please write an intro post. Let us know who you are and why you're here. 😍 - Take the welcome poll and tell me what you're interested in - Check out the Classroom tab for what's new Welcome!

I want to know what matters to you!

Welcome to Reignite Your Life! I appreciate your joining this community & I'm excited to get to know everyone. Please introduce yourself! Who are you, why are you here is a great starter. I'll start. 😁 I'm Catherine Bassett, a product management leader with 20+ years in international software and e-commerce experience. I've worked in nimble startups all the way to Fortune 500 companies, giving me the rich perspective of a woman in tech and business. Throughout my journey, I've encountered and overcome many of the challenges that technology professionals face - from imposter syndrome to burnout. These experiences have helped me develop practical strategies and approaches that create sustainable success in our fast-paced industry. I'm passionate about sharing these insights and creating a space for meaningful conversations with others. I look forward to both sharing my experiences and learning from yours. 🥂
