2. From Burnout to Breakthrough: My Story of Hitting Rock Bottom
Are you constantly striving for more, but feeling further away from yourself than ever? Have you ever wondered what happens when ambition, perfectionism, and stress collide?
In this solo episode of Resonance, I share the most vulnerable story I’ve ever told: my own. From growing up as a third-culture kid, to chasing perfection in my career, to the family crisis and health collapse that left me in burnout and at rock bottom, this episode is an honest look at what it took for me to finally choose healing.
This episode of the Resonance podcast will show you a real-life example of how to move from survival mode into resonance, so that you can reclaim your wellbeing and rediscover yourself on the other side of burnout.
Ready to hear my story of the journey from burnout to breakthrough? Let’s dive in!
