She left the job.
The title.
The hustle.
And finally - she found herself.
In this raw and soulful episode, I’m sitting down with Crystal Ellis - a wellness coach, speaker, and self-described “spreadsheet yogi” whose story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we stop performing and start living with intention.
Crystal built the life she thought she should: Successful career, fitness ninja, Auntie, girlfriend, daughter - all the boxes checked and ready to say yes to the next ask.
And behind the perfect resume was a woman who was depleted, disconnected, and living by other people’s expectations. Until one question cracked it all open:
Who am I, really? Without the job, the hustle, or the title?
What followed was a full-body unraveling - and a soul-deep rebuild.
Today we’re talking about:
· Burnout, sobriety & nervous system resets
· Breakups and breakdowns as turning points
· Letting go of the identity you outgrew
And wrapping it all up in a bow of what it feels like to live life on purpose.
If you’re questioning, rebuilding or wondering what a more aligned life could look like - this one’s for you.
You’re not too late. You’re right on time, Thrivesters.
Now go thrive like you mean it.
