The Executive Exhale Podcast
98 | Is Your Success Hiding Burnout or Unresolved Trauma?
In this episode, I sit down with Laurel Van De Torn, a trauma therapist who works with high-achieving professionals, to unpack what really happens when ambition and old patterns collide.
We talk about how trauma isn’t always a single event. Sometimes it’s the quiet stress that builds over years and how it can show up in our leadership, our relationships, and even in our bodies.
We also explore the moment every driven leader eventually faces: realizing that the same habits that built our success may now be standing in the way of our health.
If you’ve ever told yourself “I’m fine, just tired,” this conversation will hit home. Healing isn’t just about slowing down but it’s about finally being able to move forward with clarity, steadiness, and purpose.
