Most of the time I’m interviewing other women about their wild, brave, chaotic journeys… and nine times out of ten, there’s a burnout story buried in there somewhere.

So today, I’m sharing mine.

In this episode, I walk you through the year my body finally hit the brakes — the ignored symptoms, the hospital scares, the career misalignment, and the long, messy rebuild that followed. If you’re running on adrenaline, juggling too much, or quietly falling apart while pretending everything's fine… consider this your nudge.

This isn’t a dramatic “quit your job and move to Bali” story. It’s the real version — the hospital ECGs, the mozzarella-stick diet, the overthinking, the identity crisis, and the uncomfortable truth that you can only outrun yourself for so long.

• The moment a doctor asked me one question that exposed everything
• The physical symptoms I brushed off (and why that was a terrible plan)
• How 17 years in construction + 2 kids + 2 businesses became the perfect storm
• When stress masquerades as illness
• The identity shift that comes with leaving a career you’ve built your life around
• The slow rebuild: sleep, food, movement, and actually listening to myself
• Why purpose matters more than any “goal” you can tick off
• The three things I stopped doing so I’d never burn out like that again
• How this burnout became the catalyst for She Who Dares Wins

If you’re feeling stretched thin, misaligned, or stuck in someone else’s version of your life, this is the exact reflection tool I used (and still use).

Women who are:

• juggling too much
• burnt out but pretending they’re “fine”
• questioning their career
• rebuilding after a crash
• wanting a life that actually fits them

If any part of this episode hits home — you’re not weak, dramatic, or failing. You’re human. And your body is usually wiser than your ego.

Talking about burnout doesn’t make you fragile. It makes you honest.

Thanks for listening.

She Who Dares Wins. 🤘
