I had the income, the title, the lifestyle.But behind the success...I was disconnected. Numb. And quietly falling apart.
This isn’t a burnout story.
It’s the story of what happens when your performance becomes your personality...
And you finally have to choose between success… or yourself.In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, I share:
- The invisible cost of “having it all”
- Why hitting my biggest career goal left me emptier than ever
- The quiet moment that made me walk away from the life I’d built
How childhood conditioning shaped everything I chased, and everything I avoided...
The grief, healing, and transformation that came after I resigned without a plan
What I’ve learned about emotional presence, intimacy, and leading myself
And how I finally stopped outsourcing my worth to the world around meIf you’ve ever felt like your drive was a mask,
If you’ve built a life that looks great, but feels hollow underneath…
This is for you.
