What happens when the very traits that make you a successful entrepreneur- pushing through, managing crisis, never stopping- become the barriers to your own healing? Janelle Bruland built a multi-state company with over 500 employees while navigating abandonment, single motherhood, and undiagnosed PTSD. For years, she thought she had moved past her trauma, until a routine flight triggered a complete breakdown that changed everything.

In this raw conversation, Janelle reveals how high achievers often mistake survival mode for strength, and why the "typical MO" of entrepreneurs can actually prevent us from recognizing and healing our deepest wounds. She shares her journey from pushing through to letting go and why being truly present (rather than being productive) became her path to freedom.
