EP. 95 | You Carried Your Burnout Into Your Business (w/ Candice Van Dertholen)

https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicevandertholen/https://heal.me/candiceCandice Van Dertholen spent years building other people's businesses — launching a YogaSix studio from four walls and a concept to 400 members, managing Anytime Fitness to 1,500 members, creating communities where people felt at home.Then she burned out. And when she started her own business, she realized she'd carried the exact same energy patterns with her.Today Candice is the founder of The Warrior Within Healing, a speaker, retreat facilitator, and private advisor to conscious business owners. We talk about why most entrepreneurs unknowingly duplicate their burnout in their own companies, what energy work actually is (without the woo), how clarity of self always comes before clarity of strategy, and why the best growth tool she ever used was just being herself in conversations.Timestamps:0:00 – Welcome + Candice introduces herself and The Warrior Within Healing0:37 – What a "conscious business owner" actually means1:20 – Who she works with: high performers leaving high-pressure industries3:36 – How it started: franchise work, Anytime Fitness, and launching YogaSix4:37 – From four walls to 400 members — how she built community from scratch7:12 – Why burnout patterns follow you into your own business9:29 – How to explain energy work to someone who's brand new to it10:04 – We all carry energy — and everything we put in our system affects it12:49 – The boomerang effect: what you give comes back13:42 – What transformation actually looks like: from burnout to first launch16:07 – Human Design and how it helps identify where your energy has been displaced19:00 – The identity crisis moment that comes before real clarity22:14 – The Jerry Maguire exit — and what really happens in business year one26:17 – The best visibility strategy: get really good at being you27:43 – Why AI is pushing everyone back toward in-person connection29:20 – How she built referral partnerships just by showing up as herself30:43 – Reputation takes time — put in the reps31:00 – How to hold space for people at a four-day retreat without burning out33:12 – In New Hampshire: asked the Divine for guidance before a heavy talk34:40 – Going back to a contract job in 2024 — and what she learned from it35:04 – What gives her the most fulfillment36:20 – Matt's personal takeaway: energy habits follow you from career to career40:19 – It's a constant evolution — and that's the beauty of it
