In this powerful opening episode, Lauren Ellis strips away the performance mask and speaks directly to every high achiever who’s ever wondered, “Is this all there is?”

This isn’t another hustle sermon — it’s a wake-up call. A reminder that the cost of success isn’t just burnout… it’s betrayal.

Through raw truths and grounded hope, Lauren unpacks what it means to climb without losing yourself, why exhaustion isn’t a personal failure, and how you can start rewriting the rules — without walking away from your ambition.

Because you’re not broken. The system is.

And the clarity you’re craving? It’s not at the top — it’s in the reclaiming.
