Because the problem isn't you. It's the system you learned to survive in.
What Kind of Tuning Fork Am I ? A 🦌Deer, 🦝Racoon, 🦦Otter or 🦔Hedgehog?
Tuningfork your workplace. Lighten your invisible load. So you come home with something left for yourself.
If you’ve come to this site, you’re likely working in a stress-producing culture. You’re not alone, and you’re not crazy. The problem isn’t you - it’s the system you’ve learned to survive in. It’s hard, but I can help.
You handle the team. The targets.
The emotions no one else wants to touch.
Meanwhile:
18:30: "what's for dinner?" (fantastic question)
20:00: laundry situation is getting personal
22:47: "quick" email (sure)
23:18: tomorrow is already running in your head
So why are you
so damn tired?
Somewhere along the way, survival became leadership. And maybe you’re starting to feel the cost of that.
HELD was created for women who are tired of functioning without being held themselves.

You’re the one people turn to
when things get complicated.
At work...
Congratulations.
You got the promotion.
Apparently, that also made you...
- the unofficial therapist
- emotional air traffic controller
- fixer
- the person who somehow knows where everything is
- peacekeeper
- unofficial project manager
Funny.
None of that showed up in your job description.
Yet somehow, everyone acts like it comes with the job.

I understand the pain and
frustration of trying to
lighten your invisible load.
The invisible load isn’t a knowledge problem.
It’s not a talent problem.
It's a work design problem.
Most companies are unintentionally mounting systemic pressure,
by trying to fix people instead of fixing work. Calming is essential.
The answer to a stress-producing workplace is always NO!
Three ways to lighten your invisible load.
Not everyone needs the same kind of support. Some women need a place to land. Some need practical tools they can use today. Some need structure. Some need space to breathe again. Start where your nervous system says: "yes… this."

Yeah...been there.
I’m Yolande Waasdorp.
For more than 35 years, across four countries, my work has moved through prisons, boardrooms, recovery spaces, trainings, meditations, and the lives of people carrying more than most others can see.
I know what it means to function inside systems that slowly disconnect you from yourself.
And I know how quietly that disconnection can become normal.
My work isn’t about fixing people. It’s about helping women recognize what was never theirs to carry in the first place.
