About Yvonne Lee-Hawkins

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Yvonne Lee-Hawkins, Founder of Burnout Proof Coaching, and I help high-performing professionals reclaim their energy, purpose, and confidence—without burning out.

Before launching this coaching practice, I spent nearly 20 years leading teams and shaping strategy in fast-paced corporate environments, including nearly a decade at Amazon in HR and Operations leadership roles. I was the one who always stepped up. The one who believed that if I just worked harder, pushed through, and held it all together, everything would eventually fall into place.

Instead, I fell apart.

Despite promotions, recognition, and a fulfilling life with my husband and three kids—I was exhausted, emotionally detached, and questioning everything. I didn’t just hit a wall. I carried it on my back for years.

The wake-up call? Realizing that burnout wasn’t a personal failure. It was a systems problem. And it was also a signal—pointing me toward a new, more sustainable path.

That moment sparked a deep transformation. I dove into the science of stress, the psychology of leadership, and the power of nervous system healing. I became certified in multiple modalities and designed a holistic framework that blends leadership development, energy management, and emotional intelligence.

Now, I coach professionals and emerging leaders who feel stuck, stretched thin, or off-course—helping them realign with what truly matters and build careers that feel both successful and sustainable.
