You call it high standards. Your body calls it on‑edge.

About Cristina
About Cristina
I built the thing I needed at my lowest.
For years I led teams, hit every target, and quietly fell apart between meetings. From the outside it looked like ambition. Inside, it was a critic that never let me feel finished.
Burnout finally stopped me — and that’s where I found Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). It didn’t ask me to think more positively. It taught me to stop wrestling my own mind and start moving toward what mattered.
I trained in ACT and built Learned Well‑Being for the women I recognize most: founders, executives, and entrepreneurs who are exceptional at their work and exhausted by their own standards.

How ACT Works
How ACT works, in plain language.
No reframing your feelings away. No hustle. Just a few practical shifts that change how you carry pressure.
Noticing thoughts without obeying
Step 01
Notice the critic.
Hear the harsh voice for what it is — a thought, not a command you have to obey.
Unhooking — Release
Step 02
Unhook from perfect.
Loosen perfectionism’s grip so it stops driving every decision you make.
Step 03
Move toward what matters.
Take the next meaningful step — even when it feels uncomfortable, especially then.
You’re not failing. You’ve just learned to never feel finished.
