What happens when you look successful on paper but feel completely empty inside?

In this candid conversation, executive coach and leadership consultant Iris Cullinan shares her personal story of leaving a high-pressure corporate role that pushed her to burnout—and how she rebuilt her life and career around a human-first approach to leadership.

We explore:
The hidden costs of chronic overachievement
Why burnout is often a symptom of broken systems
How leaders can integrate emotional intelligence, nervous system awareness, and sustainable performance
Practical tools—like breathwork and simple nervous system resets—to create balance without sacrificing results

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the hustle, this episode will inspire you to redefine success on your own terms.
