What you’re about to hear is a raw, unfiltered look at the part of career pivots no one prepares you for: that disorienting, “WTF is happening?” healing phase where the old you is gone, the hustle no longer fits, and you’re left figuring out how to move through the messy middle.I sit down with NLP master coach Leslie Thornton, and together we pull back the curtain on burnout, business identity loss, debt, surrendering to feminine energy (terrifying, but necessary), and how letting go, not pushing harder, is what actually gets you to the other side.
