If life had a “breaking point starter pack,” I checked every box this week - smoke alarms, paying $100 to break into my own car, then a full existential meltdown in my garage. So obviously, the next logical step was to sit by a dam on the lake and cry with my inner child.

Some weeks don’t fall apart — they crack something open.

In this episode, I share a real-time story of burnout, emotional overwhelm, inner child healing, intuition, surrender, and what happens when you stop performing and start listening to what your body and heart are actually trying to say.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, drained, stuck in survival mode, or like you can’t carry the same pain into another chapter… this one is for you.

• Burnout and emotional overload • People-pleasing vs authentic leadership • Nervous system exhaustion and release • Inner child needs vs survival patterns • Intuition and following subtle guidance • Letting go of old pain, roles, and stories • Faith, surrender, and trusting the unknown • Why not everything that feels broken is beyond repair
