In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, I'm kicking off a special six-week series called the Burnout Breakthrough Accelerator. After years of coaching professionals through overwhelm, I've distilled the key steps to help you move from constant exhaustion to more clarity, space, and joy. In Week 1, we start with an honest self-audit—writing down every “should” that weighs on us in work, home, health, and relationships. This eye-opening purge reveals just how much pressure we pile on ourselves and sets the stage for reclaiming time, energy, and control from burnout.
Today I'm speaking with Seth Quig. Seth is a seasoned outdoor professional with over two decades of experience in outdoor education and international adventure travel. Facebook Twitter Instagram Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! I didn't pay rent for nearly 10 years. Seriously. I was either crashing in guard houses, sleeping in a tent, or living out of my truck between Idaho and Baja. Some might call it dirtbagging—I call it my MBA in life. Back then, my “home” was wherever the river ran or the mountain rose. I wasn't building a business. I wasn't even thinking about one. I was chasing adventure, guiding people through whitewater and Himalayan passes. But somewhere between the third trip up Kilimanjaro and watching bulldozers drop boulders into a rapid I was about to run… I realized something. Adventure wasn't the goal. It was the vehicle. A vehicle for connection. For transformation. For pushing people out of comfort and into character. PRINCIPLE: If you want to create something meaningful in the outdoor industry—or in life—you've got to stop thinking of adventure as the destination. It's the doorway. The best guides (and entrepreneurs) don't just lead people outside. They lead them into themselves. And to do that, you don't need perfect branding or a 10-step funnel. You need to understand people, risk, fear, group dynamics—and how to hold space when someone's terrified of peeing in a Porta-Potty. TRANSITION: But most aspiring adventure entrepreneurs never make it to that level. They get stuck thinking passion is enough. That loving nature or guiding people qualifies you to build a sustainable business. But loving rivers doesn't teach you finance. Running the Inca Trail doesn't show you how to manage a team, onboard a client, or navigate a cultural crisis in Kathmandu. So what happens? Burnout. Disconnection. Businesses that are all sizzle, no soul. THAT'S WHY: That's why this episode with Seth Quig isn't just about whitewater and trekking tales. It's a masterclass in what it really takes to make a living in adventure travel today. We're talking risk, realism, radical honesty—and how to build a business that doesn't just profit, but gives back. CALL TO ACTION: Tired of feeling like your passion for the outdoors isn't enough to build the career you want? That's because it isn't—not without the right mindset and mentorship. Discover what most outdoor pros get wrong and how to flip the script. Listen to this episode now and find the trailhead to a better business.
Ahu Hettema didn't hedge her bets—she burned the boats. No Plan B. No safety net. Just a belief that betting everything on one restaurant could rewrite her life. And it did. But not through stubbornness. Through adaptation.In this episode, Ahu breaks down how listening—really listening—to her guests saved her concept, why comfort matters more than cuisine, and how leadership based on likability, not fear, created a team that shows up like it's opening night, every night.This is for every operator who's done the math and knows the numbers don't work unless the heart of the place does.For more on Istanbul Hawaii and her story, visit istanbulhawaii.com
Starting a microschool comes with incredible joy—but it also comes with the pressure of making everyone happy: parents, students, even your staff. If you've ever felt the weight of parent expectations on your shoulders, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm pulling back the curtain on how new founders can manage parent pressure without burning out. We'll talk about: ✨ Why boundaries are essential for your sanity and your school's success ✨ How proactive communication reduces conflict and builds trust ✨ The reality that confidence doesn't come overnight—it grows with systems, support, and consistency ✨ Practical ways to onboard parents, clarify expectations, and foster community involvement And most importantly, I'll remind you that you are not alone. What if you had a community of founders who reminded you that you're not crazy for doing this—and helped you do it well? That's exactly why I created Microschool Masterminds and the Open House Playbook. These resources are designed to give you the clarity, tools, and encouragement you need to lead with confidence.

In this episode, we dive into why self-acceptance is the real antidote to self-abandonment. We talk about how patterns of people-pleasing, over-functioning, and constant apologizing were survival strategies that made sense at the time, and how they can now keep you stuck.

The Strong Friend Unmasked Are you the “strong friend” in your circle? The one who always shows up, holds everything together, and carries the weight of everyone else's struggles?

Feeling exhausted, anxious, or like you've lost yourself in motherhood? You're not alone—and it's not “just stress” or “part of being a mom.” Burnout, anxiety, and constant fatigue are often signs of deeper, correctable imbalances. Through functional lab testing, we uncover the hidden root causes—like gut issues, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or other stressors—that conventional approaches often miss. When you finally see the data, you realize you're not crazy, you're not failing, and it's not all in your head. You just need the right roadmap. That's where the D.R.E.S.S. approach (diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, supplementation) comes in. With small, sustainable changes that fit your busy life, you can restore your energy, balance your mood, and feel calm and confident again—without overhauling everything at once.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Lillian (Lilly) Field—entrepreneur, mentor, and founder of WombWise and the Founder Flow Accelerator—about replacing hustle culture with a cyclical, body-aligned approach to work. Lillian breaks down how women entrepreneurs can map strategy and marketing to the four phases of the menstrual cycle: vision during menstruation, planning in follicular, visibility in ovulation, and analysis in luteal. We discuss burnout signals, shifting identity from doer to leader, and practical first steps (cycle tracking, capacity design, and month-over-month optimization). Direct, actionable, and built for creators and founders who want energy, clarity, and results without the grind. About the Guest Lillian Field is the founder of WombWise and creator of the Founder Flow Accelerator. She helps women build mission-driven businesses aligned with biology, values, and seasonality—drawing from women's health, sustainable business, and systems thinking. She has built companies from a web studio to an agroforestry farm to an AI startup. Key Takeaways: Track your cycle first; data plus daily self-reflection drives better decisions. Menstruation: step back for vision, messaging clarity, and strategic direction. Follicular: convert strategy into a plan—channels, timelines, resources for 1–3 cycles. Ovulation: prioritize visibility—speaking, collaborations, interviews, and content creation. Luteal: close loops; edit, measure, and optimize campaigns before the next cycle. Shift identity from doing everything to leading; remove hats and design capacity. Consistency comes from re-choosing your agreements (e.g., Do Your Best) when hustle patterns return. Burnout is a signal, not a moral failure; align operations with biology to regain energy and creativity.

The 5 Spiritual Cycles That Keep You Stuck in Fitness (And How to Break Them With God's Word)Are you a woman over 40 trying to get healthier, stronger, and more confident in your body—but feel stuck no matter how hard you try? You're not alone. Often, the roadblocks to fitness aren't just physical—they're spiritual cycles that keep us in loops of shame, fear, and frustration.In today's episode, we break down 5 spiritual cycles that can keep you from seeing real results, and I share practical steps you can take to break free with God's Word.Pattern: “I blew my diet again. I'll never get this right.” → Quit → Start over.Scripture: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)Practical Step: When you mess up, replace self-attack with confession + reset. Write: “I failed today, but I'm not a failure. I begin again in grace.”Shame keeps us trapped in self-sabotage. Remember, God's grace allows you to start fresh each day.Pattern: Stress → Food/Couch → Regret → Repeat.Scripture: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)Practical Step: Pause before reaching for comfort food. Pray a quick 20-second prayer: “Lord, be my portion right now.”Turning to food or habits for comfort is normal—but your ultimate comfort and satisfaction comes from God.Pattern: Obsessing over calories/results → Fear of slipping → Burnout.Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)Practical Step: Release control daily. Start workouts with: “I train from love, not for love.”Fitness isn't about perfection—it's about trust and consistency, not fear.Pattern: “This is just who I am” → Low belief → Half effort → Stuck.Scripture: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)Practical Step: Make an “I Am in Christ” list and read it before workouts. Let your true identity fuel your actions.Your results follow your beliefs about who you really are in Christ.Pattern: Emotional heaviness → No energy → Numb out with food or inactivity.Scripture: “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)Practical Step: Write down one name (even your own) and pray blessing over them before meals or workouts. Release the weight in your spirit so your body can follow.Bitterness and unforgiveness weigh down the soul—and the body follows suit.Fitness isn't just physical—it's spiritual too. When you break these cycles, you're not just losing pounds; you're releasing spiritual baggage that has been weighing you down.Faith + Fitness Skool Community:We help women 40+ get stronger in their walk with Christ and drop pounds.

For many of us, “the hustle” has become a way of life. Long hours, endless responsibilities, and the constant pressure to do more often come at a cost—our health. Few people know this better than Umashnee Naidoo, who faced the heavy toll of burnout, weight gain, and depression before transforming her life through holistic healing. From Burnout to Breakdown Like so many professionals, Umashnee poured herself into her work. On the outside, she was driven and successful. But inside, the stress of hustle culture was taking its toll. The result was emotional exhaustion, severe depression, and a body carrying 60 extra pounds of weight. It wasn't just about how she looked—it was about how she felt. Every day became a struggle. Choosing a Different Path Umashnee realized that if she didn't make a change, she risked losing more than her health—she risked losing herself. That realization led her to embrace holistic health practices: yoga, meditation, and energy medicine. These weren't quick fixes, but powerful tools that helped her reconnect to her body, calm her mind, and begin the journey of true healing. Through consistency and self-discovery, Umashnee not only shed 60 pounds but also regained her joy, energy, and sense of purpose. Her story is proof that sustainable transformation happens when you address both the mind and the body. The Power of Mind-Body Healing What makes Umashnee's journey so impactful is her focus on the whole person. She learned that depression, weight gain, and burnout are often symptoms of deeper imbalances. By aligning her nutrition, movement, and mindset with her values, she was able to heal from the inside out. Today, she shares her knowledge and experience to help others reclaim their health and happiness. Her story is a reminder that true wellness isn't just about losing weight or following a diet—it's about creating harmony in your life. Lessons for All of Us There are three key takeaways from Umashnee's journey that anyone can apply: Listen to your body. Fatigue, stress, and weight gain are signals, not just inconveniences. Prioritize mental health. Depression and burnout require attention, compassion, and care—not silence. Small, consistent changes matter. Yoga, meditation, and mindful eating create long-term transformation when practiced regularly. Connect with Umashnee If you're ready to step off the treadmill of hustle culture and into a healthier, more balanced life, you'll find Umashnee's work inspiring and practical.

Most of us are doing it 20,000 times a day—and doing it wrong.Breathing isn't just automatic. It's foundational. And when your breath is off, your body and mind feel it: stress spikes, energy crashes, and your nervous system can't find its footing.In this episode of Alive & Well, I'm joined by integrative physiotherapist Campbell Will, who has spent years studying the breath across ICUs, neurosurgical wards, elite athletic settings, and private practice. What he's found is simple but profound: when you breathe well, you elevate your health, performance, and emotional balance. When you breathe poorly, you drive dysfunction.We're diving into: ✔️ How the breath directly impacts your ability to self-regulate and co-regulate ✔️ What dysfunctional breathing really is—and the surprising ways it shows up in daily life ✔️ How poor breathing patterns keep your body stuck in stress (and what to do instead)If you've ever felt tired, tense, or like your body is stuck in “on” mode—this episode will help you reconnect with the most powerful (and accessible) tool you already have.

This week on Inside EMS, Chris Cebollero welcomes Patrick Pianezza — former EMS Leadership podcast co‑host, paramedic and co-writer on the new action-comedy EMS film ‘Code 3.' Pianezza teamed up with writer Christopher Leone to push for authenticity, insisting on medical accuracy and avoiding cliches — no guns‑in‑ambulance heroics, no patients as punchlines. There are scenes that will make medics say, “That's us!” — from nursing home calls to behavioral health crises, the pressures from society, as well as moments many will recognize in their gut. For EMS professionals, this is about being seen, valued and having your story told well. For everyone else, it's an invitation to look deeper at the people showing up to help you on your worst day. Memorable quotes “What I really care about, what I want people to take away from the movie, especially if you're still actively doing the job, is that they feel recognized. They feel seen, they feel like we did them justice.” — Patrick Pianezza “CPR is so terribly shown on screen that we were committed to like, at least one movie's gonna get it right.” — Patrick Pianezza “There is a heart to it that I think is universal and speaks to not just people who do the job, but for outsiders to get a view into this world and be like, ‘Oh, so that's what this job is.'” — Patrick Pianezza Additional resources: Burnout, bravery and gratitude: The story behind ‘Code 3' Why ‘Code 3' might be the most honest EMS film yet ‘Code 3': A love letter to fire and EMS Enjoying the show?

Why does resentment creep into the relationships of ambitious women - especially when you feel like you're “doing it all”? In Part 4 of our 5-Part High-Functioning Burnout Exposed series with Awaken the Muse, Natalie, Alexi Panos and Emily Gallagher unpack how unspoken needs, over-functioning, and self-betrayal quietly erode intimacy + how to rebuild connection without abandoning your drive. You'll learn a clearer frame for reverse polarity (respect vs. cherish), how to shift from blame to vulnerable truth, and a simple reset that restores your sense of power and wholeness in a relationship. You'll leave with tools to read your nervous system, name the desire under the complaint, and create more safety, softness, and spark - without carrying all the emotional load.
