In this deeply resonant episode of The Secret KeepHers, I'm joined by the brilliant and deeply grounded Lorraine Berg—Founder of Human Centered Workplaces and a Strategic Leadership Analyst certified through the BG5 Business Institute.
Lorraine shares her powerful journey from leading a top-tier, high-performance beauty business to experiencing a total system collapse—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. What followed was a radical unraveling, a health crisis, and ultimately, a return to alignment.
We talk about:
• The hidden burnout of overfunctioning leaders
• Ego death and the grief of letting go of what no longer fits
• The cost of outsourcing your worth to performance
• The new workplace paradigm—and what human-centered leadership actually looks like
• The role Human Design and BG5 play in personal and professional transformation
• The ripple effect of internal clarity on external leadership
Lorraine gets real about what it took to step away from a nationally recognized business—and into her truest, most sustainable work yet. This is not just a story of career change… it's a story of reclamation.
