How do you break the cycle of burnout when everything in life feels overwhelming? In this episode, I sit down with Sydney Williams, founder of Hiking My Feelings, to explore how she went from corporate exhaustion to a purpose-driven career outdoors. After one life-changing backpacking trip, Sydney realized the power of nature in healing both mind and body. She shares how she overcame chronic stress, put her diabetes into remission, and completely redesigned her life around well-being and adventure.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that true healing doesn’t always happen in a therapist’s office—it can start with something as simple as stepping outside. We talk about the impact of stress on chronic illness, what most people get wrong about burnout, and why reconnecting with nature might be the missing piece in your own life. If you’re feeling stuck in the grind and looking for a new way forward, this episode is for you.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

• Why a single hiking trip had a greater impact on Sydney’s mental health than years of self-help books

• The unexpected moment that made her rethink her entire life—and take a huge leap of faith

• What most people get wrong about burnout (and the simple fix that changes everything)

• How Sydney overcame fear and left corporate life behind for a purpose-driven career outdoors

• The truth about stress and chronic illness—and how she reversed her diagnosis

• The key shift that helped her build a life around healing, movement, and freedom

• How you can apply Sydney’s lessons to your own life

Tune in now to hear Sydney’s inspiring transformation and discover how you can create more freedom, healing, and joy in your own life.
