When Success nearly kills you: A burnout specialist's story
About this episode
Charlene Gisele shares her journey from burnout to rediscovery, exploring the impact of childhood trauma and the role of hypnotherapy in healing.
I had a powerful conversation with Charlene Gisele about the deep roots of burnout and how it affects every part of our lives — our bodies, relationships, and emotional well-being. Charlene shared her own journey from being a high-flying lawyer driven by perfectionism to facing total burnout and rediscovering herself through radical transformation. We explored how childhood trauma and internalized expectations can shape our adult patterns, and how hypnotherapy can help us reconnect to repressed emotions and heal from addictive behaviors. This episode dives into how to build a healthier connection to work, love, and purpose through self-awareness and spiritual practice while maintaining ambition. It’s an inspiring reminder that recovering from burnout isn’t about giving up drive — it’s about aligning passion with balance and presence.
