Dr. Angela Kerek spent 17 years building a career in corporate law. She had the credentials, the income, the title. And then she hit the abyss. In this episode, Art talks with Angela about what it actually feels like when the plan you executed perfectly stops working, how to hear the quiet voice inside before things fall apart, and the small steps she took to rebuild from scratch. Angela's story moves from professional tennis to big law to burnout to coaching, and what she found on the other side was more real than anything she'd planned for.
