Welcome to the burnout slayer podcast where this week, we delve deep into the captivating story of how OCD broke down the agency of my soul, and how I emerged stronger as a business consultant. Join me on this emotional journey as we explore the intersection of OCD and the world of entrepreneurship.
In the midst of ambition, I painstakingly built an empire—a thriving agency that once represented my beacon of hope. However, lurking behind closed doors was an unrelenting force, tearing at the very fabric of my dreams. OCD, an unwelcome companion, whispered incessantly, pushing me to the brink of sanity.
As obsessions gripped my mind, compulsions shackled my spirit. The essence of my agency, once fueled by passion and determination, trembled under the weight of anxiety and doubt. Each day presented a new battle, silently fought within the recesses of my soul.
While I projected a composed facade in the business world, I paid a steep price—my foundation crumbled, opportunities slipped away, and disappointment consumed me. My agency, once a symbol of success, stood precariously as OCD devoured every ounce of productivity and joy.
Behind closed doors, the real battle unfolded—a relentless war against intrusive thoughts and suffocating rituals. The toll on my mental and emotional well-being was immeasurable. Guilt, self-doubt, and isolation became an unwelcome companions on this treacherous journey.
Yet, even in the darkest nights, a glimmer of hope emerged. Seeking help became my lifeline—a path to recovery and redemption. With each therapy session and step towards understanding, I discovered strength and resilience buried deep within. I confronted my fears head-on, embracing vulnerability and growth in the face of adversity.
Rebuilding my agency, I dared to dream again. Armed with newfound wisdom and a renewed sense of purpose, I vowed to dismantle the chains of OCD that had held me captive for far too long. With each brick laid, I redefined success, prioritising self-care, and cultivating a supportive environment that embraced mental well-being.
This episode isn't just a tale of shattered dreams; it's a testament to an unyielding spirit that refused to be defeated. It showcases the power of resilience and emphasises the significance of open conversations about mental health on the road to success. Join me on this gripping journey as we unveil the shattered fragments, piece by piece, rebuilding not only an agency but a life reclaimed.
It's important to take care of yourself and your mental health. This is not just for your own sake, but also for the sake of those around you. So if you see any of these signs in yourself, it's time to take a break.
- Feeling like you're not making progress

There's a lot of hype when it comes to creating an online business.

Hello lovelies, I’m Michelle originally from south west Ireland but now I park myself in central London, a mum of 2 pre-schoolers, a bride to be (2021, oops now 2022) a Women’s Nutritionist & Personal trainer, and a red wine lover! I HAVE WALKED IN YOUR SHOES LADY… as a mum and a woman running a business I have to be a ninja warrior with my time and priorities. Just like you I would put myself at the end of the do list until burnout hit and a lot of mom guilt soon followed. It was a slap of reality, I was not superhuman even if I was doing my best to be the supermom. I was supporting and looking after everyone else except myself, and I am supposed to be the expert ! I mean I have been educating myself for the last 15 years on all topics women’s health, fitness, and mindset. I realised by not putting myself as a priority everything else around me would fall apart. I am now on a mission to help women between the ages of 35 to 45 to achieve their goals and dreams without burn out, and free of guilt through working SMARTER NOT HARDER. To stop feeling guilty and get long term results from small CONSISTENT actions. Find YOUR happy place in their YOUR life, focusing on food that nourishes and energises YOU. Movement such as strength training that will help build a healthy strong metabolism and body with the time you have. Working with your body, not against as once I did. We are not men so working out like a man, and eating rice and chicken all day counting calories is not the path to a healthier, happier fitter you. I am so excited to grow my tribe of amazing women looking to live their best life making small incremental changes to get life long results.

About Michelle Milner-Eradhun:
I am a lover of all things business and spirituality, combining both to bridge the gap between people and how businesses operate in the world. Since 2009, I've helped entrepreneurs elevate their service-led businesses by using a step by step Conscious Business Framework model to shift them from stuck to flow, so they accelerate growth from a place of both business-savvy know-how and intuition.
I believe operating from a place of kindness encourages everyone else to be kinder which makes for a kinder world, and this domino effect is where I feel true joy in my work and interactions.
I'm also an accredited Life Purpose & Law of Attraction coach, Reiki & Quantum-Touch practitioner, Spiritual Healer and Spiritual Medium in training, which I love! My methods and frameworks in business draw on these modalities. I often have my nose in a book, I love getting creative with drawing and painting, exploring new places or creating new memories with my friends and family loves.

Hitting the balance - listening to my body when it tells me to stop, if I have not been able to listen to my mind before that. Learning my own personal tell-tale signs. Learning to walk away, even if I haven't 'finished'. Loving and nurturing myself first so I am not constantly living in the loop of 'pouring from the empty cup' and wondering why I struggle!
