Your Energy Is Your Empire: Meet The Woman Redefining Burnout Culture If burnout had a whistleblower, it would be Sharise Nance LCSW, CCTP. Licensed clinical social worker. Trauma specialist. Award-winning author. Globally known as The Compassion Fatigue Lady. She doesn’t just “raise awareness” about burnout she walks in, flips on the fluorescent
lights, and says, “Sis, this is not sustainable, and we both know it.”
FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS MAGAZINE Vitamin C Healing & Becoming “The Compassion Fatigue Lady” Her second company, Vitamin C Healing , started as a book idea. Her husband named it. A mentor pushed her to find her thing. Her first business, Hand in Hand Counseling Services , started part-time with a college friend. When the private practice got busy, she had to choose. At a conference, another woman dropped the line that changed everything: “You’ve got to put a bad win date on it.” So she did. July 7, 2017. The day she walked out of her full-time job and into full-time entrepreneurship terrified and powerfully aligned. From Little Girl Boss Vision to Full-Blown Empire Sharise grew up watching entrepreneurship at the kitchen table. Her grandparents ran businesses. Her grandmother, lovingly nicknamed “The General” was the definition of a boss: finger pointed, standards high, heart soft. By seven or eight, Sharise already had the vision: Sharp suit. Red shoes. Corner office. A building full of people doing meaningful work. She chose the helping path first social work, mental health therapy, agency, and corporate roles and even dabbled in network marketing. The real gift? That world toughened her up for entrepreneurship: rejection, asking for the sale, and doing it scared.
