Inspire - Rewire: Retreats and Events Permission to press pause! Early in my career, I stepped into leadership without the support I needed and found myself in burnout. What's the opposite?

Creating Space for Wellness through:
Global Keynotes on Leadership Psychology & Burnout | Retreats - 90+ designed & led | Retreat Partnering, Training & Mentoring | UK & UAE That experience sparked a fire in me: that I would not let circumstances, or my own mindset, or gaps in learning become a barrier. I went on to create learning cultures where people are not just developed - but genuinely suppo

rted through change, growth, and pressure, while achieving high impact bottom line business results without burning out. I’ve since worked with brands like Airbus, PwC, Merck, LG, Chalhoub, Tate & Lyle, scaling award-winning teams and sprinkling a little humanity into corporate. I went on to run my own business for 10 years (Inspire – Rewire) helping others with the same through coaching/hypnotherapy and group support such as running leadership retreats and leading wellbeing events. That doesn't mean there are not times I also feel self-doubt but I ask myself if it's compassion I need, or action to fill a gap? Either way - I don't stay stuck. It's not just inside of the mind where we 'do the work' on this, but in the small sutble day to day actions. Overthinking and hoping.... staying stuck. With that in mind, my aim is to help you to remove those pesky obstacles - to become the master of your mind and live the life you truly deserve. We help online and in-person events both in the UK and UAE. Get in touch if you'd like a personalised hypnotherapy recording to rewire those doubts. Or if you're interested in group workshops, retreats or webinars. Developed by the founder of Inspire - Rewire: Nic Wagstaff

What I do:

I give you permission to press pause. I help to inspire and rewire busy, stressed and run down professionals who are often unconsciously self-sabotaging their lives! From healing from the disease of 1000 names ‘Adrenaline Fatigue’ to identifying those niggling feelings that something's just not right, I open people’s eyes to anxiety; it’s symptoms, impact and red flags to remind people to press pause before it becomes an intrinsic part of their life, and when it's already gone too far I help free people from their despair. I do this because I have been that high achiever, unstoppable superwoman and suffered the devastating consequences and am passionate about using my unique combination of skills; corporate background as Group Head of Learning and Development, well-being practitioner, and most importantly personal experience, to help reverse the growing trend of burnout and instead create more peace and balance in our lives. You can be successful without burnout.

How would you feel having 2 nights completely on your own? Some feel nervous some feel bliss.

For 2 nights I’m excited to be in a pod just with this printed draft of my book… getting closer to the final stages of editing!

In a pod in a field with no other pods.

10 years this book has been my companion.

No internet and no phone service, but a gorgeous town nearby should I need to save myself from the silence!

This is my 3rd time back to this space dedicated for just writing. Yet years seem to pass in between.

You have to carve time out for your passions.

The weeks go by, the months go by, the years fly past.

Where can you press pause in the push and come back to yourself?

11/06/2026

Here CIPD balancing the pause and the push. We often get FOMO - fear of missing out. But strategy AND strategic energy management isn’t about pushing through and/ or saying yes to everything.

Strategy is choice

That means deciding what you don’t do, as well as what you do choose.

One of my favorite phrases is ‘just because you can, doesn’t mean you should’.

Pause before you say yes.

I’ve recently seen a lot of posts stating burnout isn’t caused by overworking but from x y and z. While the other reasons are also true and many apply to myself…

Let’s not forget, or pretend, it isn’t also caused by overworking.

I really don’t want people now thinking that they should still be over working because if they are not then there’s something wrong with their passion or purpose.

Those who are highly connected to their passion and purpose still burnout.

I wonder… what is driving this narrative 🤔 I have my own thoughts on this but what about you?

My month of book editing coming up. And very exciting. This book has been in the making for 10 years and over the last couple, I’ve really dedicated the time to it.

I reference dedicated time to your passions in my TedX talk The Power of the Pause. Still waiting for the link but will share soon!

I’m living what I talk about.

I’m writing about it and now it’s finally starting to feel like it’s about to be born.

What have you been putting off in your pursuit of the push?

Press pause. Life goes fast

My daughter said “knackered” the other day and it made me laugh… then pause… then realise just how often I say it.

As a trained hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, this is both a blessing and a curse. You hear the patterns. You hear the unconscious scripts. You hear your own language coming straight back at you in a tiny voice that has absolutely no filter.

And with a body that needs careful energy management: hypermobility, ligament issues, neuro bits, a history of burnout before I even understood what burnout was, I’ve had to pay more attention to the phrases I throw around without thinking:

“I’m sorry, I have a headache.”
“I can’t, I’m really tired.”
“I just need to lie down.”

All true. All real.
But kids absorb everything. They emulate everything. They build their worldview from the scraps we drop on the floor.

So I’ve started swapping a few of those lines for ones that are still honest, but not so loaded:

• “My body needs a quick pause.”
• “I need a minute to reset myself.”
• “I’m going to rest so I can feel better.”
• “I’m listening to what my body’s asking for.”
• “I need a quiet moment so I can come back properly.”

Same honesty.
Less identity-shaping.

It’s the same reason I never say, “We can’t afford that.”
Instead I say:

“People value different things at different times.”

Because money mindset is a beast to undo once it’s in there.

And of course none of us get this perfect.
We’re human. We’re tired. We’re doing our best with the bodies, histories, and bandwidth we’ve got.

We can be simultaneously working on those things too!

But noticing the language is half the work to prevent paying it forward.
Tweaking it is the other half.
