What if burnout was never the problem—but the signal?

In this episode, Jessica Rice sits down with Vicky Daugvilavičiūtė, founder of Just Be Better, to explore how ambition without alignment leads to burnout—and how restoring humanity to the way we work and hire can change everything.

Together, they unpack how leaders can hire with heart, how AI is reshaping trust, and why redefining success starts with rebuilding self-trust.

Whether you’re leading teams, launching something new, or leaving toxic success behind, this conversation will remind you:

Belonging Beats Burnout.

Humanity Empowers Metrics.

🧭 In this episode:

The hidden cost of overachievement and toxic alignment

How AI and automation impact human connection at work

Redefining success in leadership, hiring, and purpose-driven work

Why empathy is a leadership advantage, not a liability

How to build systems that protect your peace and your purpose

We glorify leadership as the ultimate solution to everything—career stagnation, burnout, purpose, even fulfillment. But what if leadership isn’t the cure?

In this raw and reflective episode, Jessica Rice, Legacy Leadership & Brand Coach, shares her story of leaving a toxic corporate culture, walking away from the “golden child” title, and realizing that leadership alone can’t heal what’s broken inside.

She unpacks what happens when your success looks great on paper but feels hollow in your heart—and why alignment, conviction, and calling must come before leadership.

💡 You’ll Learn:

Why “leadership” can become a mask for burnout and misalignment

The hidden cost of corporate golden handcuffs

How conviction and calling redefine success

What fulfillment really looks like beyond the next title or promotion

Faith-driven women entrepreneurs: If you're feeling trapped by the shiny success that looks good on paper but quietly strangles your peace—this episode will give you permission to trust what you already know.

I left a successful corporate career not as an escape, but as an evolution. And I'm sharing the neuroscience, the faith, and the framework that made it possible.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The "certainty trap": Why your brain keeps you stuck in familiar patterns

• How cortisol (stress hormone) numbs your creativity and dulls decision-making

• The difference between working hard and working disconnected

• How to rewire hustle by activating self-generated dopamine (fulfillment that sustains itself)

• Why freedom isn't a lack of structure—it's choosing the right ones

• How to build from alignment, not adrenaline

This is for you if you're:

✓ A high-achieving woman ready to leave corporate for purpose

✓ Feeling burnt out from chasing productivity for validation

✓ Craving peace, alignment, and meaningful work

✓ Building a faith-driven, legacy-focused business

Golden handcuffs still leave marks. They just shimmer under better lighting. But when you finally set them down, the silence that follows isn't loss—it's freedom arriving.

YOUR MOMENT OF REFLECTION:

What's the badge you're still wearing even though it no longer fits who you're becoming?

Are you showing up in your business as the real you—or just the version you think people expect?

In this soul-check episode of the Hello You Show, Jessica Rice explores what it really means to let go of the polished, professional persona to lead, serve, and build from a place of authenticity.

You’ll hear why releasing the “old you” is necessary for growth—and how identity, self-trust, and your actual voice are the most powerful tools you have in business.

If you're in a pivot, stepping into visibility, or craving a brand that feels more like you... this one is for you.

We’re asking:

👉 Is the real and raw YOU showing up in your message?

👉 What are you holding onto that no longer fits where you're going?
