Why I Deleted 300 Videos (and Started Fresh)
From Burnout to Reset: My New Beginning
After five years and nearly 300 videos, I did something bold. I unlisted almost all of them and started over.
It was terrifying.
But also freeing.
And if you’ve ever had to let go of something you worked really hard on—whether it’s a job, a project, or even a relationship—you know that mix of fear and relief.
This is my fresh start. And it comes with a story that might sound familiar to you. (Continue Reading Below…)

The “Dream Job” That Wasn’t
A few years ago, I had what looked like the perfect role. I was leading wellness for a company. My days were filled with building gyms, running health fairs, creating programs for employees. On paper, it was my dream.
But behind the scenes?
I was burning out.
The culture shifted. Leadership changed. The heartbeat of wellness—caring for people—turned into a checklist. Suddenly, the thing I loved most became something I dreaded.
And that broke me.
I was anxious. Drained. I questioned everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything.
That painful experience became a doorway. It showed me what I never wanted again. It also gave me clarity about what truly matters in wellness—and in life.
Toxic Work vs. Ideal Clients
That season taught me the sharp difference between a toxic workplace and an ideal client. They are not the same thing.
A toxic workplace eats away at your energy. It makes you doubt yourself. It values numbers over people.
An ideal client, on the other hand, is life-giving. They’re the kind of leader or business owner who values their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of their team. They don’t just want a “program in a box.” They want meaningful change.
I’ll be sharing a full episode on this soon, because if you’ve ever felt like your workplace was draining your soul, you’ll understand.
Why I Don’t Love the Word “Corporate”
Now let me be honest.
Even though I’m a corporate wellness consultant, I can’t stand the word corporate.
It takes me back to boardrooms and policies that cared more about compliance than compassion.
But here’s the funny twist—when I’m networking, that phrase makes people perk up. “Corporate wellness” is like a magnet. It gets attention.
Still, my ideal clients don’t even call themselves corporate. They’re leaders. Executives. Business owners. People who care about energy, people, and heart.
So yes, I’ll use the word sometimes. But what I really do is help people reset. Humans. Leaders. Teams. That’s what lights me up.
The Pivot: Content With Heart
Here’s the truth: I’m done creating content just to create content.
From here on out, everything I share will come from a place of honesty and heart.
That means:
Personal stories — because we all learn best through stories.
Practical tools — because I want you to walk away with something you can use.
Heart-centered lessons — because resilience and joy come from the inside out.
And here’s what you can expect on this channel moving forward:
Burnout solutions (for work and everyday life).
Resilience training (how to recover without grinding yourself down).
Sleep and energy hacks (because when sleep is off, everything is off).
Corporate wellness—redefined (with people at the center).
Sports psychology lessons (because athletes know how to bounce back).
Ted Lasso stories (because humor, hope, and heart are powerful teachers).
The Energy Reset Method
All of this ties into the work I do with my clients. I call it the Energy Reset Method.
It’s a coaching framework built on three pillars:
Body – sleep, fitness, recovery rituals.
Mind – stress resilience, mindset shifts, clarity practices.
Lifestyle – daily habits, identity, and leading from your true self.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need to be a CEO to benefit from these tools.
My goal is that every single video gives you something you can try right away. Because burnout and exhaustion aren’t reserved for boardrooms—they show up in homes, schools, and small businesses too.
The Reset We All Need
If you’ve ever felt exhausted. If you’ve ever wanted to just hit reset. If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “Something has to change…”
You are in the right place.
This isn’t just about wellness. It’s about resilience. Joy. Hope. Leadership. And leading from the heart.
I’m starting over.
And maybe you need to start fresh too.
If so, I invite you to come along. Subscribe, stay tuned, and let’s reset together.

A few years ago, I was working in what looked like a dream role on the outside. I was leading wellness for a company, building gyms, running health fairs, creating programs for employees. But behind the scenes, I was burning out. The culture shifted, leadership changed, and suddenly wellness. The very thing I cared about most felt like a checkbox.
Instead of something real, I was anxious, drained, and questioned everything, and I mean everything. That experience hurt, but it also became the doorway to the work I do now. It showed me the difference between a toxic work environment and an ideal client. And trust me, they're not the same thing. I'll be sharing a full episode on this soon because if you've ever felt like your workplace was eating away at your energy, you will relate.
And let me be really honest with you, even though I now work as a corporate wellness consultant. I can't stand the word corporate. It brings me right back to those boardrooms and policies that cared more about numbers than people. But here's the funny thing, when I'm networking, the phrase, corporate wellness makes people's ears perk up.
It stands out, it brings them to me. But my ideal client, they don't even call themselves corporate. They're leaders, executives, business owners. They're people who care about their team's wellbeing and their own. So yes, I use the word corporate sometimes, but what I'm really about is people, humans, energy and heart.

All of this ties into the work I do with my clients in something I call the Energy Reset Method. It's a coaching framework for executives and leaders that focus on three pillars.
Body, mind, and lifestyle. In the body, we look at sleep, fitness and recovery rituals. In the mind. We build stress, resilience, mindset shifts and clarity practices. And in lifestyle it's about daily habits, identity and aligning leadership with who you really wanna be. But you don't need to be an executive to learn from those tools.
My goal is that every video gives you something practical you can use right away. So if you've ever felt exhausted, burned out, or just like you need a hit reset, you are in the right place.
