My Super Type A Attempt at Being Zen is a journey through pattern breaking, self-discovery and rebuilding your world around you to bring you more joy, less stress and a balance that works for you.

You feel overwhelmed, overworked and are quick to fly off the handle…. You have lost the fun…. You aren’t acting like the person you want to be…. You walk around angry all the time feeling like the taskmaster or the enforcer.

You wish you could just take time off, find joy in your life again, indulge in your hobbies, passions and release the pressure of all that you carry on your shoulders, but you have an overwhelming sense of responsibility and you feel like you are the only one who can do it, or at least do it right…then you are in the right place.

Dear Overworked Overachiever,

You are so tired. Like, you’re already tired tomorrow.

You are an efficient, brilliant, leader. You take great pride in being an integral part of your community, your career space and your family. You don’t run away from hard work, you admire a strong work ethic. You have all the lists! Not only that, you take great joy in crossing off the items as you complete them. You shine when you are achieving your goals.

You have your head down, achieving, growing, prospering and somewhere along the way, you forgot that it’s not all about that and you’re feeling anxious all the time. You are quick to react to little things that are kicking you off into bouts of frustration or anger. You feel guilty and overwhelmed more often than not. Your lists just keep getting longer, but you feel like you’re the only one working to get them done.

You are burning out and you are afraid that if you stop, the whole world will fall apart around you, so you just keep going, even though you are out of steam.

I am here to tell you that, the fate of the entire world does not rest upon your shoulders!

You want to feel relaxed, balanced, joyful, while still feeling accomplished. You want to be your best self at work, at home and at play (but play has been almost non-existent). You wish there was a way to put more hours in the day, more energy in your body, more gas in the tank.

You’ve tried having a bubble bath, or going to yoga, and it’s just not cutting it.

Let’s do this together, build more balance in your life. Today is the day to make the change, before the patterns you are locked into now give you a heart-attack!

Take the first step on your journey to Zen and do this important work for yourself. You deserve to enjoy this beautiful life you have created for yourself.

Love,

Risha Yorke

I have been there…

I’ve had the full-time job and the side hustle and the start-up business at the same time.

I’ve managed my small business while caring for small children and feeling that pull to be in both places at once.

I’ve done the hard work, gotten the accolades, been celebrated only to feel burnt out and unsatisfied.

I’ve lost my mind over a dirty dish, a schmeer of peanut butter, a stained shirt, a missed task, an unfinished job, etc., etc., only to later feel guilty and ashamed.

I felt overwhelmed, overworked, overtaxed, overtired, over touched, over used and over scheduled.

I made a promise to myself, the year my mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, that I would make it my life’s goal to learn to relax. So I did. I did all the things. I took all the baths. I went to all the spas. I took all the vacations. I started to chip away at this mindset I had created that told me that my value came from my productivity.

It turns out, the stress wasn’t as inescapable as it felt. It turns out, I was getting in my own way.

The problem was I couldn’t see the big picture and I was drowning in the minutiae.

Then came my biggest test, a pandemic hit, I’m home with a baby and a toddler and my business comes to a grinding halt. Next, my best friend, my mentor and my mother died and I felt an overwhelm I had never experienced. It was crippling.

I’m not going to lie, I’m still recovering and I’m not sure I’ll ever fully heal from the losses I have experienced in the last year. What I do know, is that it all taught me valuable life lessons that I can now impart to you.

Zen is different for everyone. Your path will be unique. What is the same, is the goal of balance and the shared experiences and support needed to get to that place. That is what I’m offering, you only have to say YES to the help…even though I know you can do anything on your own, in this case, you don’t have to...

You are probably thinking…

“This won’t work for me…”

“I don’t have time to focus on myself...”

“I struggle with mental health, this won’t do anything…”

“My friends and family will help me get there…”

“ I can’t afford this…”

You know better.

You know that you need to take control before this feeling of burnout and exhaustion leaves you a shell of your former self.

You don’t want to waste any more time ignoring your needs and devoting yourself to everyone and everything other than yourself.

So, I created My Super Type A Attempt at Being Zen.

What is My Super Type A Attempt at Being Zen all about? What can I expect?

During this 9-week program, I will support you through a personal discovery and awareness journey. You’ll receive skills and tools that will allow you to recognize when you’re burning out or overwhelmed and calm your nervous system! No more blow ups, melt downs or freak outs! (Or at least, a lot less of them.)

In working with me you will learn about the way you find peace, how you process information, value your time and prioritize, changing your work, life and romantic relationships for the better! You are going to feel peace and calm, instead of your current overwhlem and anger. You are going to find your path to Zen!

You will leave this program with:

A deeper connection to yourself and your needs:

- Weekly modules including video training and workbooks.

- Self-assessment tools and guidance on using them.

- A curated reading list that supports the growth you will experience throughout the program.

1-on-1 Focus:

- Weekly 90 min video chat or phone coaching sessions with Risha.

- 24/7 access to Risha via email for 9 weeks.

A realistic vision for your more balanced future:

- A plan for your self-care

- Workbooks that build upon themselves so you can reference back to your goals and priorities.

- More quiet in your mind than you ever thought possible.

How is this program different?

My Super Type A Attempt at Being Zen, The Program sets itself apart from other programs by being adaptive and ever-evolving. It’s built on tools and techniques that have been compiled over the last 10+ years in order to support you on your journey in a more efficient and impactful way.

It combines theories from the experts in the field of personal development, psychology and Zen Masters and allows you to experience the best of what the industry offers.

You get full access to your coach on a weekly basis for 90 mins. It’s not pre-recorded. It’s not a scaled program that removes the 1-on-1 connection. It’s human.

I, Risha Yorke, have an out-of-the-box approach that is organic, inspirational and exhilarating.

By the end of this program, you’ll have gained perspective on what your priorities are, how you want to spend your time and what will bring you more peace and balance.

Throughout My Super Type A Attempt at Being Zen, The Program, I’ll introduce you to human behavior theories, communication styles, mindset exercises, and so much more to build a sense of safety and calm.

You can sign up for a variety of personal development programs offered around the world, but I promise you, there is no other program like this. This experience brings together personal growth best practices, advice from leading psychologists and Zen Masters and human behavior science in a way that has never been done before. Giving room for your discovery and growth in the process.

Your graduation from My Super Type A Attempt at Being Zen, The Program will be the beginning of a marvelous new chapter in your life. You will feel confident with your decisions, be calmer in your everyday and more joyful overall. You will overcome your past anxieties and obstacles with ease and grace.

You will have to work for it.

It’s not going to be an overnight change. (Nothing ever worth having is.)

There may be days where you forget how powerful you are. (We all doubt ourselves.)

But then…things will all start falling into place.

As you practice all you’ve learned, implement and build habits, a bright shiny, exciting world will reveal itself to you…and you’ll be astonished.

I Guarantee you!

I Guarantee you! Following your 9 weeks in this course, you will have a better understanding of how you get triggered, where your stress comes from, how to fuel yourself in a healthy way and how to find more peace, more calm, more balance and in turn, more happiness in your day to day life.

I am telling you, if you put in the work, you will see the results.

●       You are still making excuses and apologizing for yourself. If you think you’re ok working a million hours, burning out, and are happy living there, I can’t help you.

●       You are skeptical about the results of this program. I KNOW it works. I KNOW it changes lives. If you don’t have faith in me, you’re not going to be open to all I have to offer.
