When Ambition Meets Exhaustion: Why I Stepped Away (and Why I’m Back)
In this intimate relaunch episode, I share the real story behind my unexpected rise from Director to Senior Vice President in just four years — and the burnout that nearly took me out along the way.
This is the honest reflection I wish someone had shared with me sooner:what it’s like to grow fast, lead big, juggle motherhood and ambition, carry the emotional labor of leadership, and still feel like you’re losing pieces of yourself in the process.
If you’re a woman who’s ambitious but exhausted, hopeful but stretched thin, deeply capable yet sometimes filled with doubt — this episode is for you. I talk about why I stepped away from the podcast, how burnout changed me, and what it means to come back wiser, softer, and more grounded.
We’ll explore what real leadership looks like in a world moving at the speed of AI — and why women can’t afford to sit out this next era of change.
This is a space for honesty, growth, and the messy parts of leading a life that matters. It’s good to be back.
