Awakening Wisdom After Burnout: Episode 1

Episode 1 of the Awakening Wisdom PodcastHow stepping away led me back to myself—and why this podcast is returning with a new rhythm and deeper truth.After recording 183 episodes of the Wise Woman Podcast over four transformative years, I reached a breaking point.In this first episode of Awakening Wisdom, I share the honest, behind-the-scenes story of what led me to step away from podcasting, the deep burnout I experienced after launching my book Little Failures, and the surprising path that opened up when I stopped trying to do it all.I talk about rediscovering myself through painting, how creativity became my lifeline, and the unexpected way my art began to financially support me during a major career pivot. I also share about my current breast cancer diagnosis, the ways it's slowed me down, and the clarity it's brought to what truly matters.This is the beginning of a new chapter—one that prioritizes sustainability, depth, and intuitive timing. The podcast is back, but in a new form: mini-series drops released weekly, created when there’s something true and alive to share.If you’ve ever felt burned out, craved more alignment, or wondered what happens when you follow the energy instead of the hustle—this episode is for you.Mentions:* The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron* My art brand: The Painted Way* My book: Little FailuresIf you loved this episode:Please subscribe, leave a review, or share with a friend who needs this message.
