Burnout, Autoimmune Disease & Healing: Karen Goslin's Powerful Story

What if your biggest obstacle isn't failure... but believing you're never enough? In this powerful conversation, therapist and author Karen Goslin shares how a lifetime of perfectionism, burnout, chronic illness, and personal loss forced her to confront the deep-rooted belief that she wasn't worthy. From losing relationships and her marriage to battling chronic fatigue syndrome and autoimmune illness, Karen reveals the mindset shifts that transformed her life and inspired her book Yellow Paint: Learning to Live Again. Jeremy and Karen also explore perfectionism, trauma, accountability, therapy that creates real change, burnout recovery, self-worth, childhood wounds, ADHD, autoimmune disease, and why healing requires radical honesty. If you've ever struggled with anxiety, people-pleasing, overworking, or feeling like you have something to prove, this episode will leave you with practical insights and hope for lasting change.
