Shedding Layers

Breakdowns are really breakthroughs- Burnout is a path to self discovery


Listen Later

Welcome back to Shedding Layers! In this heartfelt episode, we’re exploring the transformative power of burnout. Often seen as the end of the road, burnout is actually a profound call to awaken to your authentic self. What if your breakdown isn’t the end, but the beginning of a breakthrough?

Join me as I share my personal story of navigating burnout—balancing motherhood, a demanding career, and societal expectations—until the day I walked away from it all. From the ashes of my corporate life, I rediscovered who I truly am, finding freedom, purpose, and joy through the practices of yoga, meditation, and reflection.


We’ll discuss how breakdowns strip away the inauthentic, reveal our truth, and offer a path to healing. Drawing wisdom from spiritual teachers like Pema Chödrön and Eckhart Tolle, we’ll explore how moments of stillness can be the birthplace of transformation.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize burnout as a signal for change.

• Steps to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.

• A guided reflective exercise to help you release and realign.


Remember: You are not broken; you are breaking through.
