From Burnout to Breakthrough: Rediscovering Your Purpose

Ever feel like you’re trapped in a life that no longer serves you? In this episode, Alana Light shares her journey from corporate burnout to a life of deep fulfillment. 

After years of saying yes to things that drained her, Alana faced a health crisis that forced her to reconsider everything. 

She discovered the power of positive psychology, self-inquiry, and radical alignment—and now helps others navigate their own transformations. 

This conversation explores the societal conditioning that keeps us stuck, the power of listening to our bodies, and why freedom begins with remembering who you truly are. 

If you’re feeling the nudge to change but don’t know where to start, this episode is for you.
