Episode#017 - I Collapsed on a Flight: My Burnout Wake-Up Call

Send us a text

In 2015, I was a high-achieving conflict analyst, juggling major contracts and writing my fifth book. Then, I received devastating news about my brother. I did what many high-performers do: I suppressed my grief and trauma to keep working.

My body, however, had other plans.

This is the deeply personal story of the day my body decided it would no longer negotiate with burnout. On a flight to a speaking conference, I collapsed, leading to a terrifying hospital stay and ultimately costing me the chance to attend my brother's funeral. That is the true price of burnout.

This experience became the catalyst for my life's work. It forced me to understand the invisible forces that drain our energy and led me to create the 9 Dimensions of Well-being. If my story resonates with you, I invite you to begin understanding your own resilience before you're forced to.
