057: When Success Costs Too Much and What It Takes to Reclaim Yourself with Alenna Trusik

In this episode, I’m joined by Alenna Trusik, an attorney turned coach whose story is both powerful and deeply human. We explore what happens when high achievement, resilience and responsibility are built on survival mode. Alenna shares her journey from building a successful law practice as a single mother, through burnout, health collapse and identity loss, to ultimately reclaiming herself and her life. This conversation goes beyond business and success. It looks at the cost of constantly striving, the weight of perfectionism and the moment when your body forces you to listen. We talk about scaling back, making difficult decisions, and what it really means to honour where you are while still moving forward. Alenna also shares how her lived experience now shapes the work she does with women who feel exhausted, disconnected or unsure of what comes next. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve built something that no longer fits, or you’re carrying more than you can sustain, this episode will resonate deeply.
