After 25 years in the mental health sector, Hazel Hyslop found herself feeling lost and depleted. Yet within that difficult chapter, she uncovered a deeper truth: many of her colleagues and clients – particularly successful women – were also disconnected from their true passions and overwhelmed by the relentless demands of their careers. Recognising the familiar patterns of stress, identity loss, and burnout, Hazel developed practical strategies to guide her clients, and herself, back to balance and fulfilment.
Drawing from decades of professional experience and her own personal journey through burnout, Hazel introduces a transformative seven-step method designed to spark lasting change. The challenging path you take will awaken your passions and empower you to move forward with renewed energy, authenticity, and confidence.
At a time when so many are weighed down by overwork, overwhelm, and overthinking, Bringing Your Heart to Work offers a powerful, proven framework to reclaiming your clarity, purpose, and wellbeing.
