Burnout, Divorce & How to Start Over with Purpose

from Pulling Threads, Weaving Authenticity · host Leslie Mathews

What if rock bottom is actually solid ground for the first time? Ariane Vera on starting over after burnout & divorce. ▸ THROUGH — Leslie's 8-week divorce coaching program: https://theloomlife.com/throughdivorceprogram ▸ The Atelier — Ariane's membership for women building businesses: https://www.thejournalofahealer.com/p/the-atelier3 In this episode of Pulling Threads, Weaving Authenticity, Leslie sits down with Ariane Vera — founder of The Atelier, 12-time author, and 3-time TEDx speaker — for a conversation about what it actually takes to restart your life when burnout, divorce, chronic pain, and a global lockdown all arrive at once. Ariane left the corporate world after a burnout her body had been warning her about for months. She moved to Mexico, started over from scratch, and turned her journaling practice into a book, a coaching method, and a membership community for women rebuilding their lives and businesses. Leslie and Ariane go deep on the parts of the journey most people don't talk about — the loneliness of outgrowing relationships, the fear of being too much, the patriarchal programming that teaches women to disappear, and the visibility wounds that quietly sabotage how we show up online. They also get into human design, re-parenting, money mindset, and why your podcast (or business, or art) only starts working when it's an energetic match for who you actually are. What you'll take away from this episode: • Why your body's signals matter more than your career plan • How to tell a "messy middle" friendship from one that's ready to break • Ariane's Inner Colors journaling method for tracking intuition and triggers • The difference between performing visibility and embodying it • How to price your work without flinching WORK WITH LESLIE ▸ THROUGH — 8-week divorce coaching program: https://theloomlife.com/throughdivorceprogram ▸ 1:1 coaching — book a discovery call: https://theloomlife.com ▸ Loom Life Therapy (EMDR, IFS, trauma): https://loomlifetherapy.com ▸ Leslie's writing & resources: https://leslieellenmathews.com CONNECT WITH ARIANE ▸ The Atelier membership: https://www.thejournalofahealer.com/p/the-atelier3 ▸ The 30-Day Reset ($7): https://www.thejournalofahealer.com/p/the-30-day-reset-1024661 ▸ Book — The Healing Journals (on Amazon) ▸ Instagram: @ariane__vera ▸ Substack: Heal & Scale FOLLOW PULLING THREADS ▸ Instagram: @the.loom.life ▸ TikTok: @leslieellenmathews ▸ Subscribe so you don't miss Thursday solo episodes and Saturday's new series for men.
