42: Burnout to Breakthrough: My Journey of Recovery, Self-Discovery, and Why I Help Women Thrive

Unleash the Badass Within

In September 2013, I was having the time of my life but burned the most important budget I had; my own health.
I was project managing a dream project. The idea was my own, and I got to run with it - Spotify style.
Everything would have been perfect if it wasn’t for my own health.
At the age of 27, when the project was finished, I just couldn’t get out of bed. I had burned out and was left a wreck.
I absolutely loved my job, but I had no idea how to take care of myself.
The recovery took many years but eventually, it led me to what I do today. For this, I am incredibly grateful.
I decided to share my story, to help others not end up where I did, or seek support, for themselves, a colleague, or a loved one if they can relate. Or get inspiration to what’s possible even if it seems really dark at the time.
I talk about my own burnout story, the background, the symptoms, the transformation, and the learnings.
I also share how this led me to become a wellbeing and performance coach for women leaders and how I support my clients today.
This episode was released for the first time exactly one year ago, but I decided to release it again, on the day, 11 years after my burnout, as it had a lot of downloads and is still as relevant today.
