Burnout isn't just for us middle agers anymore...

However, unlike the Baby Boomers and Generation Xer's - this new generation is quicker to ask for help- reflect and pivot. Just ask Mallory Rowan.

In this podcast we talk about Mallory's quick rise with a global brand and the physical and emotional toll it took.

Mallory refocused, restructured and a rebuilt a business with a different focus: Health & Wellness. 

She now helps others, especially Millennials and Gen Z's to shift their behaviours and habits even when they face the uphill battle of "success porn" and the influence of social media. 

I love that we chat about authors and books that are shifting our view on success and the "hustle" and why the "hustle" isn't always what its cracked up to be. We hit on fitness, food, sleep, entrepreneurial life, breaking habits, shifting thought patterns and the list goes on.
