Description

We’ve been sold a vision of success rooted in burnout—early wakeups, relentless hustle, and constant optimization. But what if that version of success was never meant for you?

In today’s deeply personal episode, Fernanda shares her raw journey through burnout, imposter syndrome, and the soul-crushing pressure of hustle culture. From breaking down behind closed doors to numbing with alcohol just to feel peace—this is a story of unraveling... and remembering.

You’ll be guided through what alignment actually feels like and how to begin reclaiming your energy, presence, and truth. The episode ends with a powerful 5-minute meditation to help you embody a life rooted in your rhythm—not the world’s.

If you’ve ever felt like success was costing you everything that matters—this episode is for you.


Key Topics & Themes

  • The lie of hustle culture and the “one-size-fits-all” success formula

  • The emotional cost of trying to keep up with everyone else’s path

  • Imposter syndrome, emotional burnout, and escaping into numbing behaviors

  • How alignment isn’t stagnation—it’s intentional, sacred momentum

    💡 Key Takeaways & Reflections

    • Your bandwidth is sacred. If you don’t have energy left for what matters, it’s time to realign.

    • You are not failing because hustle doesn’t work for you. You’re waking up.

    • Resentment often shows us where we’ve abandoned ourselves.

    • Presence is power—especially in motherhood, partnership, and leadership.

    • True alignment isn’t found in the perfect morning routine, but in honoring your truth moment by moment.
