If your business—or your life—looks successful from the outside but secretly feels like it’s breaking you, this episode is your wake-up call. Burnout doesn’t always look like failure. Sometimes it looks like doing everything “right” and still feeling completely wrong.
In this episode of Ditch the Chaos, I’m sharing the story of how I walked away from a thriving marketing agency to recover from burnout, chronic health struggles, and a system that no longer fit my life. This isn’t a rebrand—it’s a reset. One built on clarity, calm, and the decision to finally stop performing productivity.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why more money, clients, or structure doesn’t fix burnout
- How chronic burnout forced me to stop—and rethink everything
- What it really looks like to walk away from something that “should” work
- The moment I realized peace mattered more than performance
- How Chaos Detox was built from this exact kind of pivot
These insights are pulled straight from the journey that created Chaos Detox. If you’re feeling the cracks in your current system and wondering what comes next, this is where we start.
👉 Start Chaos Detox and rebuild your system from the inside out—on your terms.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
