Wellbeing in Entrepreneurship: Lucy Cullen's burnout recovery and reinvention

I had the pleasure of chatting with Lucy Cullen - a sustainability pioneer, musician, and wellbeing-focused business coach for entrepreneurs.

A doer at heart, Lucy started multiple first-of-their-kind companies to create a real environmental impact by addressing food waste. However it was this “hustle queen” lifestyle that led to a major burnout turning point, and she opened up about the moment her doctor told her, "Your body was already under so much stress... it's the straw that broke the camel's back."

Lucy was forced to take medical leave.

That experience was her wake-up call about the importance for entrepreneurs to prioritize their well-being. She's on a mission to equip others with mindset tools and self-care practices through her Thrive Framework.

Throughout our chat, Lucy's warmth and vulnerability really shone through. She doesn't hold back from the harsh realities she faced with burnout and health challenges, and her resilience is moving.

She's taken those experiences to build a new path supporting others caught up in their hustle. Her perspective is a must-listen for any creative feeling stress taking a toll.
