Sometimes in life you come across people that you instantly notice that you share an energetic connection with. They tend to become people who are so much fun to be around and spend time with!

Carmen is one of those people for me.

She is Founder of Carmen Balacianu (Bala-chi-anu) Coaching, Partner & Chief Happiness Officer of Adaptaa, a coaching and leadership development organisation.

Coming from humble beginnings in Communist Romania, she took the courageous step to immigrate to the US at 21 years old. With the immigrants mentality she forged a corporate career in Finance, Business Development and Talent Management, flying high, before completely burning out and falling into a major depression. Her light went out.

Carmen very kindly and humbly shared our work was a catalyst for her to rise from the ashes and generously provides great insight into the experience of severe burnout and other trauma she experienced in her life. She shared off the cuff after we finished recording that this is her first ever podcast interview! I feel privileged to be her first. But this is also an example of how she is, as she says, letting her light shine as a result of her experience. And I feel privileged to have helped provide her with a tool to shine brighter in any moment.
