This episode is a deeply moving conversation with Anne Whitehouse, a former Cambridge scientist turned power alchemist.

Anne shares how burnout ended her career in university engineering and became the doorway into a completely different way of understanding health, power, and identity. We talk about subconscious conditioning, inherited patterns, and why burnout and self-silencing are not personal failures.

Anne also speaks with extraordinary honesty about losing her daughter, Rebecca, and how that devastating loss reshaped her work and her purpose.

This is a powerful conversation about grief, trauma, and what it really means to rebuild yourself from the ground up.
