Burning Ladders

Share Your story

“Burning Ladders“, is a storytelling segment of The Work-Life Eubiosis Podcast. Each essay goes into the transformation of burned-out individuals who stopped climbing the corporate ladder to pursue a greater purpose. Their burnout also burned the proverbial career ladder but reignited their lives.

These extraordinary courageous individuals are now thriving in their work and at home. They have created their own path that is alternative to the cultural norms. They have won back their time by putting their family and health first. They have found freedom, balance, and purpose. They are now sharing their stories for the sake of helping others.
