Episode 1: What “Heart-Led Hustle” Really Means (And How Losing Everything Taught Me to Rebuild From the Inside Out)
In this first episode of Heart-Led Hustle, I share the deeply personal story of how I went from running a seemingly “successful” business — with awards, recognition, and all the shiny external markers of success — to losing absolutely everything.
I open up about:
✨ The toxic hustle culture that drove me to burnout
✨ The pivotal moment I hit rock bottom (and the breakdown that changed everything)
✨ The nervous system patterns, childhood conditioning, and beliefs that shaped my decisions
✨ How I rebuilt my life, business, and sense of self-worth from a place of alignment, compassion, and nervous system safety
If you've ever looked successful on the outside but felt empty, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside, this episode will meet you where you are. I’ll share how I transformed financial hardship, shame, and people-pleasing into a values-led, sustainable business and a life that finally feels as good as it looks.
This is the foundation of Heart-Led Hustle: redefining success, rewiring your nervous system, and creating impact without burning out.
🎧 Listen now if you’re ready to unlearn hustle culture and discover a slower, aligned way to grow your business and your life.
