With a master's degree and a wealth of personal experience, she guides women through radical self-evolution using innovative, holistic approaches. Sherisse's unique methodology, born from overcoming her own adversities, focuses on forging indestructible embodiment and authentic empowerment.
She has done everything right, yet something still feels wrong. For high-achieving women who feel the weight of constant doing and the quiet ache for something more, this article explores the divine feminine energetics behind burnout and the invitation to rise in a new way. It is not the end. It is the beginning of a deeper and truer kind of power.
She’s a woman the world admires.
Bold. Visionary. Unstoppable.
She’s mastered the art of creation, manifestation, and magnetism, on the outside.
But lately…
The doing feels heavy. The striving feels hollow.
And she can’t quite put her finger on it, but something inside is whispering:
“This isn’t it anymore.”
If you’re nodding, welcome, woman of power.
You’re not breaking down.
You’re breaking open.
This is your rebirth.
Burnout in disguise: When success isn’t nourishing anymore
We don’t often talk about the women who “have it all” and still feel like something is missing. Because they’re not allowed to feel empty. Because their team depends on them.
Because they’ve built a brand on being “the one who holds it all together.”
But here’s the truth most won’t say out loud:
Success that costs your peace is a slow, sacred death.
Not the kind that destroys you, the kind that asks for your evolution.
Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. Sometimes it looks like smiling on Zoom while your soul quietly begs you to stop. Sometimes it looks like planning next quarter’s launch while secretly craving a year off. It looks like wanting to tell your team to “just figure it out for crying out loud!”
You’re not tired because you’re not capable.
You’re tired because you have poured every once of your being into everything else but yourself and now your soul is craving for something more aligned.
The divine feminine way: Power in the pause
The feminine doesn’t rise through force. She rises through truth. Through soft surrender. Through the radical act of doing less, so she can become more.
This is the paradox most high-achieving women resist:
The moment you stop trying to hold it all is the moment you start truly leading.
Divine feminine leadership isn’t about how much you can do. It’s about how deeply you can trust. How courageously you can release. How willing you are to sit in the void before the new vision arrives.
The deeper you sink into your inner knowing, the higher you rise in embodied power.
This feels so uncomfortable because its unknown, you have shaped your life around doing everything for everyone especially in your business. But if you cant step away from you business from time to time you don’t have a business you have a job and thats not what you signed up for is it?
The beauty of rebirth: When asking for more invokes the death of the old
Here’s the energetic truth I’ve witnessed again and again:
The moment you ask for more More freedom. More truth. More alignment. Life begins the sacred process of removing what no longer fits.
Clients drop away.
Projects crumble.
Relationships shift.
Your old identity begins to feel like a costume you no longer want to wear. This isn’t punishment. It’s preparation.
Your rebirth begins the moment you stop clinging to what once worked, and start listening to the woman you’re becoming.
And yes it will feel like death. But only to the parts of you that were never meant to lead the next chapter.
Embodied leadership begins with letting go
True leadership, the feminine kind starts with a decision:
To no longer lead from scarcity, fear, or performance.
To lead from soul.
So ask yourself…
Where am I still performing just to be perceived as powerful?
What would I release if I trusted that more is on the way?
Who am I beyond the achievements, the strategy, the perfection?
Because the women who will lead the next era?
They’re not the loudest.
They’re not the busiest.
They’re the ones who chose to surrender and were brave enough to rise anyway.
Ready to rise differently?
If you're in the void or dancing on the edge of it know this:
You're not lost.
You're becoming.
And the version of you that emerges from this season will be more powerful than you can imagine, because she will be rooted in truth.
I invite you to explore 1:1 Rise, my bespoke private journey for the woman who knows she’s meant to lead from a deeper place. One where burnout isn’t the price of impact and alignment is the new metric of success.
And for deeper reflection, you can tune into the latest episode of my podcast Permission to Shine: Empowering Women to Overcome Obstacles and Lead with authenticity, where I speak more on surrender, feminine power, and leading from the inside out.
You were never meant to do it all.
You were born to rise in your own rhythm, your own way, and with unapologetic softness.
Let the old burn.
Let the new breathe.
It’s time.
Sherisse Bisram, Inner Power Activation Leader + Intuitive Healer
Sherisse is the embodiment of everything she stands for: authentic strength, loyalty, and empowerment. Although, the journey to get there did not come easy. Growing up in a volatile household and as a woman of colour in a predominantly white area added understandable hardships, and like all young women, Sherisse faced unwanted attention. In addition, she was undermined by society for being outspoken in her opinion rather than playing to the expected norm of being “seen and not heard.” Understandably, she was forced to build resilience, and as a result, at 23, she noticed that she had difficulty showing vulnerability and emotions. Sherisse realised that this was not a healthy way to live, and with this in mind, she decided to embark upon her own journey of self-discovery.
Combining her self-evolution, education, and life experiences, Sherisse has gained tools that have helped her to release the pain of her past, understand and conceptualise her emotions, and regain true authentic strength. These tools, which consist of meditation and mindset work, journaling, and mindful movement, have shaped her into the empowered, confident woman she is today. These practices have had a tremendous impact on her life. Sherisse believes by sharing these tools with others with the incorporation of dance through her workshops, classes, and programs will, in turn, help whomever she teaches become the healthiest, happiest, and most confident versions of themselves.
