From Burnout to Clarity—My Life Story

Hi, I’m Belky, a Certified Life and Health Coach (HCI-CLC) and Certified Clarity Catalyst Mindset Trainer, based here in sunny Florida. I share my life with my husband Victor, our three sons, and our cat, Olivia. But years before I embraced coaching, I was deep in the high-energy, high-expectation world of hospitality management—especially during the nearly three decades I spent working at Walt Disney World.

I held various leadership roles, from Training Manager and Housekeeping Manager to Project Manager overseeing hotel refurbishments. I loved supporting my team and watching them grow, but over time, the relentless pace and the constant giving of myself began to take its toll. I burned out. My health suffered. I became depressed, my energy vanished, and my body ached under the stress. It was a wake-up call I could no longer ignore.

Stepping away after so many years at Disney felt like a leap into the unknown. I took three months off, tried a new role in a school program, and began focusing on my own well-being for the first time in a long time. Little by little, I made changes—losing weight, managing my health without medication, and rediscovering my passion for life. That’s when I found the Health Coach Institute (HCI), and something clicked. I realized I could take what I’d learned through my own healing journey and help others who were feeling just as stuck and drained as I once did.

Becoming a coach gave me the tools to guide leaders and professionals to reduce stress, gain energy, and focus on what matters most. Now, I’m dedicated to helping people create the kind of balance and clarity I worked so hard to find for myself. Integrating mindfulness practices, emotional intelligence, and a strong wellness foundation, I support others as they transform their lives—from feeling overwhelmed and burnt out to feeling empowered, present, and purposeful.

My story has taught me that we don’t have to carry the weight of our responsibilities alone. We can choose to put ourselves first, invest in our own well-being, and emerge stronger than ever. If you’re ready to find that clarity, restore your energy, and finally put yourself at the forefront, I’m here to walk this path with you—every step of the way.
