She cares deeply, rarely does as told, and is suspicious of people with no potty humour. Through her podcast, the Scenic Route, and her coaching and consulting work, she's making the world a gentler place, one conversation at a time. Her core message resonates with both heart and theory: Your burnout isn't a personal failure – it's a systemic response to a world that commodifies human worth. When a system profits from your exhaustion, choosing gentleness becomes an act of rebellion. Mental health isn't just about individual healing – it's about dismantling the systems that made us believe burning out was normal. Her soft life approach isn't lazy – it's revolutionary.
