In this episode, I talk about what actually started to change after burnout, overworking, drinking, and feeling completely disconnected from myself.
The real shift.
What it looked like to stop pretending my life was working, and start doing things differently.
I share what led me to quit drinking, how therapy and grief work helped (and where they didn’t), and the moment I experienced breathwork in a way that changed how I understood stress in my body.
This isn’t about quick fixes or mindset shifts.
It’s about what actually changed in my day-to-day life, removing alcohol, working with my body instead of overriding it, and starting to rebuild self-trust in a real way.
If you’re in a place where you know something isn’t working, but you’re not sure what actually creates change…
this episode is for you.
