Maybe you’ve had that moment too. The one where burnout shows up quietly, and you sit in your car before work holding back tears, wondering how your life became so small. For anyone experiencing career burnout or questioning their sense of self, this conversation may feel familiar.

For Lin Yuan-Su, that moment was a quiet breaking point. She had the job, the title, the security. But none of it felt like her. What began as a career built to please others became a life that asked her to finally listen to herself. That morning became a line in the sand moment where she realized success alone was not enough.

Her story is about what happens when you stop performing and start trusting your own truth. It’s about learning to make peace with the child who only knew how to survive, and letting her grow into the woman who can finally breathe.

What You’ll Hear:

1. The hidden pressure of living up to other people’s expectations
2. The breaking point that began in a silent parking lot
3. How cultural and familial stories shaped her sense of worth
4. The moment she chose to walk away from success that no longer fit
5. Reconnecting with her inner child after years of silence
6. Building a life that feels aligned instead of approved
