Ever ask yourself:
“How did I end up here?”
There’s the career you chose for its promise of rewards and fulfillment, but now it’s sucking you dry.
Maybe you feel trapped in the corporate hamster wheel, burning your adrenals trying to meet deadline after deadline…
Then there are family demands… Relationship demands…
And let’s not mention the ever-present white noise of world disasters, a divisive political climate, and social media portraying the lie that everything is oh-so perfect for other people. (Sure, that new Insta filter makes her skin glow. But in reality? It’s breaking out into a flare-up of eczema.)
Does it ever seem too much to handle?
The pressure of it all building into a massive snowball of stress and overwhelm, with no relief or end in sight?
Still, you’re determined to “live your best life!”.
So you turn to yoga, meditation, self-help books (“The Power of NOW!”), and that expensive supplements’ kit—Detox in a Box!—you bought late one night because Gwyneth swears by it… And she should know, look at her skin!
Maybe…
… deep down you wish you could get off that stupid “self-help train” which, at this point, feels exhausting.
… you’re seeking means of escape and with your hectic life, who could blame you? Except Netflix and that extra glass of organic Pinot just don’t seem to bring the satisfaction they used to…
… you feel you should be able to handle what life is throwing at you. But the tools you learned from Brene Brown’s latest book? They’re failing you, big time.
Maybe, like sooooo many people nowadays, you’re suffering in silence and, frankly, you could use a little help from a supportive community and a trustworthy guide who can support you.
Hi, I’m Routh Chadwick, and I’ve been there.
My first job out of graduate school was on the inpatient psychiatric unit of a city hospital in New York. It was a real boot camp experience for many reasons, the least of which was the crisis work itself.
What was most challenging was working within a broken healthcare-sick care system that isn’t set up to support the provider or the patient. As a newly trained psychotherapist, they expected me to perform the impossible without the time, resources, or support to do so. Talk about stressful and draining.
Outside of work, my relationships were suffering, as I was frequently short-tempered and irritable.
It all came to a head when, one day, I passed out on the job from emotional exhaustion.
My work was slowly killing me, and I felt trapped. A New York rent and big fat student loans meant I needed a job, but I was at my breaking point: my nervous system was shot and something had to change.
Fast-forward to today, and you’ll find a very different Routh: a Routh that prioritizes self-care, that has fulfilling relationships and that LOVES her work. (If you’re wondering, I’m no longer working at the hospital— Hallelujah! Instead, I’ve created a thriving coaching business working with amazing clients!)

And this big life change? Is all thanks to a simple but game-changing understanding that completely shifted how I view myself AND live my life.
Stress, overwhelm and fear don’t get to me the way they used to. I’m able to navigate challenges with more ease and tap into my inner wisdom instead of getting caught up in the negative (and endless) chatter of my mind.
My life is better than I ever imagined it could be.
Many of the problems that used to keep me up at night have disappeared. If I start to feel stressed, I know how to find relief and get myself back on track, whereas in the past I would stress myself to the edge of burn-out.
Even though I am running a small business and have traded the demands of being an employee for the challenges of being an entrepreneur, my new outlook has provided me with the mental clarity I need to handle whatever comes my way with grace and ease.
The old Routh? Was anxious, depressed and depleted most of the time.
The new Routh? Is truly happy and fulfilled! And that means enjoying all the pleasures that life has to offer – like sushi, live music and regular trips to the Brooklyn Museum.
I have way more energy than I used to and my health, relationships, and overall quality of life have improved significantly.
And I want that for you too!
Which is why I created…
Drum roll, please…
The Work-Life Playbook 12-Week Program
“Routh, what is the Work-Life Playbook” you ask?
So glad you asked!
The Work-Life Playbook (WLPB), is a unique framework that enables participants to create inner transformation, which results in outer transformation.
When you go through the framework I teach you in the Work-Life Playbook, your work and life will begin to transform right before your very eyes.
Sounds airy-fairy? It’s not.
I’ve taught this framework to hundreds of clients who report real, tangible changes in their lives.
Who WLPB is for
Work-Life Playbook is for…
The closeted artist whose creative soul is slowing dying, buried under piles of academic papers awaiting to be graded.
The stay-at-home mom who’s taken care of everyone but herself and sacrificed her own dreams for far too long.
The burnt-out lawyer who yearns to get out of the rat race, make her health a priority, and start her own venture.
The overworked professional drained by his work who wants to find satisfaction and zest for life again
The talented architect who wants to branch out on her own but doesn’t dare let go of the “security” of a consistent paycheck.
The social media influencer that feels the pressure of constantly producing more content to satisfy the demands of an insatiable algorithm, but secretly wishes he could just stop for one second and enjoy the success he’s built.
The spirit junkie who has consumed every self-help book on the market in her quest to finally feel at home within herself and desperately wants to get off the “I’m not good enough” train.
Here’s what you can expect when you join Work-Life Playbook:
- Instead of constantly feeling overwhelmed or deflated when life throws you a curveball, you’ll know exactly how to tap into your creativity and inner resilience to easily solve problems
- Instead of having to live with unbearable stress-related health problems and exhaustion, you’ll feel energized and revitalized in your body again and you’ll actually have energy left to work on passion projects or go out on date night!
- Instead of burning out — physically or emotionally — you’ll naturally create a sustainable lifestyle that supports your work and your personal life, so you can feel fulfilled
- Instead of feeling like you constantly have to work on yourself to feel good, you’ll naturally feel grounded and connected to your innate well-being, even when the sh&t hits the fan or your family (or your kids!) are in crisis mode again
- You’ll be a better spouse, parent, and friend because you’re more connected to your Self
- You’ll be able to spot new opportunities in your life, have the courage to carpe diem, and stop waiting for the right moment to come!
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that nothing is more precious than our health (mental and physical), that there’s no better time than now to rethink our priorities, and that it’s up to us (not the powers that be) to create the life we really want.
It’s time to let go of the old—old fears, old systems, old beliefs. To take an honest look at what isn’t working anymore — Marie Kondo style — and make space for what we want to see flourish in our lives.
It all starts with a single, powerful, intentional step, and if you’re ready, that step is to delve into the Work-Life Playbook.

WHY WLPB IS DIFFERENT:
99% of what we’ve been taught about happiness and success is ass-backward.
People say “work smarter, not harder” but what does that really mean?
1. The thing is that success formulas developed by self-help gurus rarely work. That is because there is no one-size-fits-all formula for success. This course helps you find your own unique path to success.
2. Many motivational courses create momentum in a short burst that diminishes over time. That is because they are “giving the person a fish” as the adage goes. This course “teaches you to fish” so you will be fed for a lifetime.
3. Many stress management approaches give you prescriptions which I call “outside-in” and often involve more complicated steps than you need. What I’m proposing is a completely different “inside-out” approach to accessing well-being; no complicated, time-consuming mindset work.
4. WLPB will give you powerful, transformative tools to create a joyful and sustainable life that doesn’t require you to add anything to your already hectic schedule.
If you are afraid of this course because “change is hard,” then never fear: I will not ask you to change anything. WLPB is a doorway to a new perception that will lead to the pathway to effortless shifts and a joyfully fulfilling life.
Work-Life Playbook is a life-transforming program.

Think that you can’t possibly invest money in yourself right now?
So friend, let me ask you…
How much precious time have you wasted so far, feeling like life is passing you by, your cherished dreams becoming a fleeting memory?
How much money have you already spent on healthcare and attempts at self-care that didn’t yield the promised dividends? If you tally up the gym membership, yoga classes, doctor’s visits, seminars, prescriptions and subscriptions, I bet it would be in the thousands (at least).
Let me ask you this:
Instead of spinning your wheels trying to figure it out on your own, what if you could learn a new framework, one that shifts you to your core without having to ‘’work on yourself”, without “21 days of new habit formation” and without willpower?
What if resilience, clarity, creativity, joy, and playfulness became second nature?
Take a moment to think about what calls to your heart right now and imagine you had boundless energy at your disposal: how would that impact your life, your relationships, your health…?
I — and countless of my clients — are living proof that it’s possible to create a life that we don’t need a vacation from.
To wake up each day — our batteries fully charged! — excited about what lies ahead! Struggle, overwhelm and anxiety don’t have to be part of our daily life. You can be productive, creative, abundant, and fulfilled right now.
The time is now.
“I certainly would recommend this course to anyone who works in crisis mode for most of their waking hours and is ready for a change of perspective. I have tried it all before: The Seven Laws, The Seven Habits, The 12 Steps… I did not expect such a profound shift in how I view life itself. These concepts are simple yet fundamental, easy to understand and apply. I experienced results after just one session! This was just what I needed. World shaking, life-altering!”
“I took Routh’s course at a time when I felt completely burnt out–hated my job, hated myself for hating my job, and felt hopeless to make a shift. Particularly because I started my new job because I also hated the last one. I noticed some immediate effects, particularly a smattering of better moments and better days. Some of the concepts were somewhat familiar but had been lost.
The course restarted my focus, and I was able to start to picture dislodging myself from a very discouraging space. The material was on-point. Routh was able to pack a tremendous amount of knowledge in a relatively short period of time. By the end of the course, I felt satisfied–it exceeded my expectations.
What surprised me was that it had planted a seed. The course is relatively (and appropriately) short, but the work it starts catapulted a change in me.
One month after the course ended, I am still feeling the growth from the seed that was planted. Specifically, I have learned to be more gentle with myself, more forgiving of others, and more in touch with the love out there for the taking.”
“I feel I have experienced a major shift in my thinking in such a way that I’ve noticed myself slow down during a crisis and assess the situation and not so quick to react and get myself all hyped up and immediately stressed out. I hoped to find a “new” way of dealing with stress with my business and the program came at the perfect time as we were in the middle of trying to make a difficult decision as far as keeping the business or not. The most unexpected outcome is that I realized I DO have time to do things as I made time for this weekly session… which I thought I would have never had…. but it showed me that what I’ve been stressing about over the years is all in my head and all was truly not all that important or at a level of crisis. I feel so good about that realization. I would highly recommend this program.”
