Bye Wanxiety

In this episode of Bye Wanxiety, I sit down with Shamian, a child education specialist now pivoting into the medical industry and wellness space, to talk about what it really means to restart your life at any age. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s, it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and build a life that feels aligned.

We explore how toxic relationships impact your physical health, mental well-being, and sense of identity, and what it takes to walk away, move to a new country, and rebuild from scratch. We talk about anxiety, meditation, movement, and the importance of getting your health back on track.

We also dive into listening to your intuition, the signs your body gives you, the signals from the universe we’re taught to ignore, and how to protect your peace when life pulls you in every direction. For women especially, we’re often taught to put everyone else first. This episode invites us to put ourselves back at the center and choose what’s best for us.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or afraid to start over, this conversation is an empowering reminder that your next chapter can begin at any time.

Welcome to Season 3 of the Bye Wanxiety podcast 🎙️
We’re kicking things off with an important conversation about burnout, resilience, and mental health in nursing.

In this episode, I sit down with Taylor, a nurse and the founder of Taylor’d Wellness, to talk about work anxiety in healthcare, nurse burnout, and what it really takes to stay mentally balanced in a demanding career. We discuss why burnout is so common in nursing, how Taylor manages stress and mental health as a nurse, and the daily tools she uses to create balance both on and off the clock.

Taylor also shares:
• Why she became a nurse and how growing up around the YMCA shaped her career path
• What resilience in nursing really looks like in today’s healthcare system
• How she started her wellness coaching business, Taylor’d Wellness, alongside nursing
• Why she created a wellness journal for nurses to prevent burnout
• Advice for aspiring nurses and anyone navigating career transitions or starting something new

If you’re experiencing career anxiety, healthcare burnout, or looking for wellness tools to support your mental health at work, this episode is for you.

I sat down with Adi, who spent a decade in investment banking before reaching a breaking point with burnout.

We talked about the reality of working long hours in high-pressure environments, the toll it takes on mental health, and what it means to pause, seek support, and start again.

After stepping away from banking, Adi leaned into therapy, took time to reset, and eventually found a new path in real estate. His story is a powerful reminder that career pivots are possible—and that mental health should never be the cost of success.
