Successful on the Outside, Empty on the Inside?

In this raw, eye-opening episode of the Ascend and Ignite Podcast, Shannon Howard shares the story of Jessica—a high-achieving corporate mom who had it all on paper but felt lost within. If you've ever wondered, "Is this really it?" this is your wake-up call.

🔥 Whether you're silently burning out or thriving publicly while struggling privately, Jessica’s story will hit home. Shannon dives deep into the hidden cost of success when it's out of alignment—and how women can reclaim clarity, balance their hormones, and lead with confidence on their terms.

🎧 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why success can feel so unfulfilling for high-achieving women

  • How burnout shows up even when you're "doing it all right"

  • Steps to reconnect with yourself and realign with purpose

👉 This is more than a story—it’s a transformation. Share this episode with another woman who needs to hear: You don’t have to lose yourself to lead powerfully.
