The Moment I Realized I Didn't Recognize Myself Anymore

There was a moment—7 months pregnant, sitting in my home office after a leadership call—that I realized I didn’t recognize myself anymore.

I was successful. Respected. In a senior role at a global company. But I was also exhausted, silenced, and pushed so far beyond my edge that my body went into early labor just two days later.

This episode is not just about corporate burnout—it’s about what happens when we abandon ourselves to survive in toxic environments, and how we begin the journey back to the woman we used to be.

What You’ll Hear:

• The slow unraveling behind professional success
• A traumatic meeting that sent me into early labor
• How I lost myself—and what helped me find my voice again
• Why burnout is not a mindset issue, it’s a nervous system response
• A gentle invitation to reclaim your calm

This episode is especially for you if:

• You're stuck in a high-pressure job that’s draining your energy or identity
• You feel anxious at the thought of another Monday
• You've normalized survival mode but know something has to change
• You want to feel calm, safe, and confident again—but don’t know where to start
