Corporate America broke her, and that’s when everything changed.

In this episode, Danielle Zilg shares the unfiltered truth about what it’s like to lose yourself in a toxic work culture. Not just burnout — we’re talking panic attacks, insomnia, short-term disability, and a full-on mental health collapse.

Her story isn’t about managing stress better. It’s about becoming someone who refuses to normalize harm — someone who listens when their body says “no more.”

Danielle’s collapse was the catalyst. What followed was deep healing, a new mission, and a path toward guiding others out of the same darkness. She’s now a coach, a mental health advocate, and studying Marriage and Family Therapy — all rooted in the same mission:“To light up your path toward a purposeful, fulfilling WHOLE life.”

This isn’t self-help. It’s self-rescue.

We cover:

* How toxic corporate culture manifests in the body

* The moment Danielle knew she couldn’t keep going

* Depression, panic, and the real cost of pretending you’re okay

* Why short-term disability might be the bravest move you make

* Reclaiming your identity after it’s been crushed

* The mission she’s now on — and how it might help you, too

Teresa discusses the importance of intention and kindness in our daily lives. She emphasizes that true intention involves uplifting others and highlights the positive physiological effects of kindness on both the giver and the observer. Through research, she reveals how acts of kindness can create a ripple effect, fostering a culture of positivity and well-being in communities.

Takeaways:

Intention is about lifting others up. Being intentionally kind should be part of daily activities. Acts of kindness positively change our brain physiology. Serotonin levels increase with acts of kindness. Witnessing kindness also boosts happiness in others. Acts of kindness can merge to create a larger impact. We need a wave of kindness in society. Research supports the benefits of kindness on mental health. Kindness can foster community and connection. Small acts of kindness can lead to significant change.

Teresa’s Bio: I am an award-winning author, motivational speaker/kindness ambassador for loving parents who want to raise kind children. Healthier, happier, kinder children create a more compassionate world. Resulting in reduced violence in our schools. And when she’s not encouraging parents to create completely obsessed, kinder, happier children, she dedicates her time to community service, enjoying time with her sons, delighting in her pets, hiking and kayaking.

Meet Teresa and get ready to change the world.
