Burnout is something many women experience, especially when trying to balance careers, businesses, family responsibilities, and personal expectations. In this episode of the Refine and Shine Podcast, Angelina Rivera speaks with entrepreneur and coach Michelle Paczesny about the biggest mistake burnt out women make and how they can begin rediscovering their purpose. Michelle shares how her entrepreneurial journey began in 2011 when she needed the flexibility to work from home while caring for her daughter. What started as a necessity turned into a mission to help women rediscover their passions and create businesses aligned with their values and lifestyles. Through her work, Michelle has coached women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what direction to take next. She developed the Ignite Your Passion Formula, a framework designed to guide women through discovering their passion, validating their ideas, and identifying how to turn those passions into sustainable businesses. Angelina and Michelle also discuss the importance of reflection, learning from failures, and surrounding yourself with the right mentors and community. Michelle believes that coaches should always continue learning and that investing in yourself is one of the most powerful steps a woman can take. Michelle also shares insights from organizing several summits that bring women together to collaborate, share expertise, and grow together. Events like the Rise Up Summit create spaces where women can support one another, build connections, and learn from each other’s experiences. This conversation is a reminder that burnout doesn’t have to be the end of the story. It can be the beginning of a new chapter where purpose, passion, and business come together.
