In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Athena Arena, a keynote speaker and trauma-informed life coach, for a crucial conversation about dismantling the myth that success requires sacrificing your health. Drawing on hard-earned wisdom from toxic workplaces, Athena specializes in helping professionals quit safely and reclaim their well-being. This is where radical self-love becomes a strategic exit plan.
Athena Arena is all about breaking the cycle of burnout and living on your own terms. We dive into the messy parts of toxic work environments and how those experiences are often a trauma pattern, not a failure. She shares her unique approach of blending nervous system science with music as a somatic superpower, a true rebellion against shrinking that allows for loud healing through movement and mindfulness.
This episode is your permission slip to prioritize your body and mind over corporate expectations. Julie May and Athena Arena explore how to set boundaries that stick, how to use your body to process the garbage-sauce of stress, and why honoring your health is the ultimate act of power. You'll walk away with the courage to make changes and stop editing the parts of your life that need to be magic.
