#19: From Burnout to Breakthrough: How Emily-Jane Saroff Found Alignment and Built a $100K Online Business
Manage episode 451841996 series 3593496
Ever wonder what it takes to walk away from a life you’ve meticulously built and start fresh?
In this episode of The Deeply Aligned, I’m joined by Emily Jane Saroff, a former architecture graduate who did the unthinkable: she left her nearly-completed degree and a stable career path to follow her heart into the unknown. At just 22 years old, Emily faced the daunting challenge of pivoting from a path she had invested years and thousands of dollars into, but in doing so, she found a life of fulfillment—and a $100,000 income in just eight months.
Emily shares the raw, real moments of burnout, the fear of wasting her education, and the courage it took to listen to her gut when everyone around her doubted her choice. This is more than a story about leaving a career; it’s about learning to trust yourself, rewriting the rules, and finding alignment with your true purpose.
We dive into:
- Emily’s journey from architecture to entrepreneurship
- The internal conflict of pursuing passion versus following societal expectations
- How she overcame fear, embraced opportunity costs, and built a new life
- Lessons in self-trust, clarity, and making the boldest decisions
- Balancing practicality with intuition to create a deeply aligned life
This inspiring conversation is a reminder that the hardest decisions often lead to the most rewarding transformations.
