Kirsten Blair-Johnson kept changing jobs. Manufacturing, higher education, public, private, corporate. Always in HR. Every time she left, she thought she was the problem.Now she sees it differently: “That’s your brain telling you something in your career is not right.”At 26, she was an HR manager on call for first, second, and third shift plus weekends. If the plant runs, I run. Then she got sick, and the fear stacked up fast. Could she pay her bills if she took time off? Would her work get done? Would she be reprimanded for being sick?Her hair was falling out in clumps. A C. diff infection went misdiagnosed for two years. Her labs came back normal. She did not feel normal. She was afraid she was dying.A holistic doctor finally took her off her medications and told her to go home and do yoga and meditation. Kirsten almost fired her on the spot. The doctor was right, and she’s now one of Kirsten’s good friends.Today Kirsten owns Yoga with KBJ in York, PA. She teaches 13 to 18 classes a week, sees private clients, runs pop-ups like pumpkin patch yoga, and is planning a gentle wellness retreat in Ocean City, Maryland for May 2027.She turns 30 this year. Ask her if she’d ever go back to HR and she doesn’t hesitate: “There’s not a salary in the world that I would go back.”If you’ve ever dragged yourself to work sick because you were more afraid of your boss than your body, this episode is for you.
