What happens when the career you’ve worked so hard to build becomes the very thing that drains you? For Michelle Niemeyer, a former attorney turned coach and keynote speaker, burnout and autoimmune struggles forced her to stop, reevaluate, and ultimately reinvent her life.In this episode, Michelle shares how she created The Art of Bending Time—a framework for reclaiming energy, clarity, and joy. She unpacks why clarity is the cornerstone of fulfillment, how to release goals that no longer fit the person you’ve become, and the ways mentorship, movement, and emotional reconnection can transform not just your work, but your entire life.Through her story, you’ll discover that burnout isn’t the end—it can be the invitation to redesign your life with more freedom, purpose, and resilience than you ever thought possible.Key takeaways from this episode:

• Burnout can be a beginning, not an ending.
• Clarity is the foundation for time wealth and true fulfillment.
• Outdated goals may be holding you back—it’s okay to release them.
• Health and emotional connection fuel sustainable success.
• Mentorship and community make growth possible (and lasting).

Take this as your reminder that clarity, courage, and connection can transform even the heaviest seasons of burnout into new beginnings. Trust that the version of you who’s ready for what comes next will always arrive on time.If Michelle’s story resonated with you, we’d love to hear your thoughts, send a message, leave a comment, or share this episode with someone who might need the encouragement. Let’s keep learning to bend time, build clarity, and create lives we truly love, together.
