Ep. 100 - From Burnout to Harmony: How Choosing Me Changed Everything (Sabbatical Celebration Episode)

“It’s not the load that breaks you. It’s the way you carry it.” – Lou Holtz This 100th episode is more than a milestone—it's a moment of refinement. After hitting burnout twice, I made the decision to pause. Not because I was weak—but because I was wise. This was my intentional sabbatical. A sacred, strategic step back so I could step forward in alignment with peace, purpose, and power. In this episode, I open up about: The top lessons I’ve learned from my season of self-neglect to self-advocacy The weight of being the strong friend and the cost of silencing your own needs Navigating toxic environments and releasing toxic people Creating stronger boundaries and choosing myself without guilt How Queen Esther inspired my faith walk from survival to sovereignty My journey from Martha to Deborah—and what that refinement has required Why getting in the room still matters, including my takeaways from the recent NURSE conference Redefining success, making money moves with purpose, and doing it on my terms I also share reflections from my viral YouTube episode with Michelle of The Michelle’s Touch, titled: “Putting Yourself First as a Non-Negotiable: No More Burnout, No More Self-Neglect.” That episode reached over 1,000 views in the first 10 days—and it’s still rising. My word of the year is Refinement, and this episode carries the essence of just that. I now move with conviction and clarity. I’m no longer waiting for permission to rest, rise, or speak. And neither should you. This episode is for every ambitious woman who’s ever held it all together while quietly falling apart. You are not alone. You deserve to bloom. Ready to take the next step?
