In this eye-opening episode of Break Free to Brilliance, Seema Giri calls out a silent epidemic—burnout disguised as dedication. When did exhaustion become proof of ambition? Why do we treat self-care as optional instead of essential?
Drawing from her own life-changing experience—where ignoring her well-being led to a health breakdown—Seema shares a powerful message: if reaching your goals requires abandoning your body, peace, or identity, it’s time to rethink the journey.
You’ll discover:
🚫 Why hustle culture harms more than it helps
💡 The emotional cost of sidelining your well-being
🔄 How to shift from self-abandonment to self-alignment
🧭 Ways to lead with clarity, compassion, and boundaries
🌱 How true success starts from within—not from burnout
This isn’t just motivation—it’s a mindset shift. Whether you're an entrepreneur, creator, or leader, this episode is your reminder to pause, reconnect, and lead without losing yourself in the process.
