In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, I chat with Alyona Brivkina—mindset coach and courageous changemaker—who shares her journey from fear and self-doubt to bold confidence and purpose-driven living. Together, we dive deep into the signs of burnout, how to prevent it, and the mindset shifts that empower us to rise stronger.
Alyona opens up about her experience overcoming stuttering, immigrating across countries solo, and ultimately becoming a life coach for women founders—especially those in male-dominated industries. We also explore the power of dance, the importance of filling your own cup, and how fear, when met with compassion and courage, can actually become your greatest teacher.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just in need of a reset, this episode offers grounded advice and soulful encouragement to help you return to your inner rhythm.
We Talk About:
- How burnout sneaks up—and how to recognize the signs early
- Strategies for preventing and recovering from burnout
