She had it all—multiple six figures, luxury cars, a high-level executive role—but inside, she was crumbling. In this powerful Sovereign Session of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Minh-Thu Lam, an executive coach and one of the standout clients from the Awake & Winning Academy, to unpack her journey from corporate burnout to building a freedom-based business on her own terms. Minh-Thu spent nearly a decade climbing the corporate ladder, only to hit a breaking point. From her immigrant roots to redefining success through nervous system regulation and feminine energy, Minh-Thu shares her raw transformation. This episode is packed with insights on building a coaching business, overcoming productivity addiction, and the unglamorous truth about pursuing freedom. If you’re high-achieving, burnt out, and craving purpose—this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.
