What I've Learnt - Fleur Marks

from WHAT I'VE LEARNT · host Deborah Blashki- Marks

Fleur Marks was a high performer who built a successful career on drive and relentless high standards. Until the pace that fuelled this ambition triggered a life-threatening health crisis and landed her in what she describes as the ‘waiting room of death’. Fleur survived. But she also woke up. Because beneath a polished surface, countless other high achievers are silently exhausted and questioning whether relentless striving is worth the cost. The truth? Many are trapped in the ‘overachiever’s cycle’, an unsustainable pattern where self-worth is tethered to achievement and external validation. For Fleur, what followed was not a retreat from ambition, but a total life reset. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science and a decade of lived experience, she rebuilt how she lived, led and defined success. Now she shares this blueprint in her new book, The Overachiever’s Reset which combines Fleurs deeply personal story with practical tools for those who want impact without implosion.Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850

We specialize in unpacking the nuances of what is considered sacred and profane, particularly focusing on sex, death, and all that pertains to the circle of life. Our aim in focusing on such ”taboo” subject matter is to demystify what is unconscious, bring to light what has been known for centuries as ”the occult,” and empower the rapid transformation that is occurring on the Planet.
