The "success lie" nearly destroyed this award-winning entrepreneur's life—until a blackout on an airplane forced her to face the truth.

Janelle Bruland had it all: a thriving multi-state business, three daughters, and the appearance of having life "figured out." But when she lost time during a flight and underwent a brain scan, doctors discovered classic PTSD symptoms—her amygdala was "lit up like New York Times Square."

What she learned changed everything about how she leads, lives, and defines success.

In our latest episode, Janelle reveals why society's definition of success keeps us overwhelmed and exhausted, and how unresolved trauma shows up as invisible barriers to authentic leadership. She shares the framework she created to move from overwhelmed to inner peace, and explains why accepting the present moment "as if you had chosen it" is transformative.

One of the most powerful moments comes when she describes the divine message at a funeral that led her to spend her precious final years with her father, traveling together and creating memories that became priceless when he suddenly passed away from cancer.

This is one of the most vulnerable, powerful conversations about the intersection of success, trauma, and spiritual awakening. Tune in!
