In this episode, I opened up about my battle with burnout, depression, and isolation — experiences that many high-achieving leaders face but rarely talk about. On the surface, I seemed successful and driven, but beneath it all, I was silently struggling. I felt trapped in the expectations of leadership, unsure of how to ask for help without appearing weak.
This is the story of how I hit rock bottom — and how I found my way back. Through self-reflection, vulnerability, and endurance sports, I rebuilt my life from the inside out. Training for Ironman triathlons became more than a physical challenge; it became a metaphor for resilience, mental strength, and personal transformation.
Lawrence and I also discuss how fear can both cripple and empower us — and how facing it head-on is the only way to grow. From long-distance endurance to rebuilding emotional stamina, I share how discipline, purpose, and vulnerability became the foundations of my recovery and leadership journey.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked successful on the outside but felt broken on the inside. It’s a reminder that no matter how far you fall, you can rise stronger, clearer, and more grounded in purpose than ever before.
🎧 Tune in to discover how embracing vulnerability, courage, and resilience can help you overcome fear and lead a truly limitless life.
