In this episode, Bethany shares what happens when your ambition and love for work outpaces your wellbeing and ability to function — and what it actually takes to walk away from a life you worked incredibly hard to build. On paper, Bethany had everything in her VP Creative career managing major brands in LA. But underneath it all, she was miserable managing extreme burnout, chronic illness, trying to hold it all together for the sake of her career goals. Until her body shut down. Two-week migraines, ER visits, nerve blocks, and a brain tumour.. We dive into the biggest reflections and lessons looking back on climbing the ladder, how she set herself up to step off it, finding a job and lifestyle that aligns with you, and learning to envision your future self's live beyond your work meetings.
We cover:
* How high achievers learn to ignore their own limits (and why it works until it doesn’t)
* The moment she knew she had to leave with nowhere to go
* What identity looks like when you strip away the title
* Specific advice to guide you out of your job for the life you want
* How to refine success for the version of you that no longer cares to burnout for the sake of a company’s bottom line.
This episode is for the ambitious woman who is tired of following a path she no longer feels fits her, and is wondering if any of it is actually what she wants for herself anymore. This is your reminder to listen to your body, follow your gut instincts, and enjoy the journey. Talking with Bethany absolutely did that for me!
