Episode notes

Transitioning through burnout can be a lengthy process, often taking longer than expected. It can feel like a period of grief and transformation, where time seems to stretch and bend. It is important to allow oneself the grace and time to acknowledge the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. Just like in life, where change and transitions are constant, it is essential to accept and adapt to the evolving phases.

When award-winning author Emma Gannon burned out writing a book redefining success, she took a radical year away from nearly all work. Hear her raw journey barely able to function, winding down her podcast, and stripping life's essentials.

But one project remained: her Substack newsletter—a lifeline for creative rebirth. Emma shares the profound freedom of letting go, reclaiming her voice through solitude, and emerging with a "smaller but better" life of true integrity and ease.

If you've ever felt disillusioned by society's idea of "making it," Emma's courageous reinvention is a bold masterclass in choosing yourself.
