Today’s conversation is one every working mom needs to hear because sometimes the life that looks successful on the outside slowly starts breaking us down on the inside.

My guest, Adrian “AJ” Jones, is a two-time Widowmaker Heart Attack survivor, former financial services executive, and founder of MORE, a career wellness platform helping high-achieving professionals move from autopilot to alignment.

After two near-death experiences, AJ completely redefined what success means and now he teaches others how to recognize burnout before life does it for you.

This episode is raw, grounding, and deeply clarifying. If you’ve been quietly wondering, “Is this really how I want to live?” this is your sign to lean in.

In This Episode, We Cover:
💔 The wake-up call that changed everything — twice
📉 The subtle signs you're sliding toward burnout (even if you're still performing at a high level)
🏡 Why high-achieving moms often hit misalignment faster
🧭 The radical honesty that pulls you back into alignment
🌱 How to become the authentic version of yourself (not the one others expect)
💛 A simple, powerful “I Want” exercise to help you get clear on what you truly need NOW

Three Takeaways You’ll Love
1️⃣ You don’t need a crisis to change your life. You can choose alignment before life forces it.
2️⃣ Looking successful and feeling fulfilled are not the same thing.
3️⃣ Authenticity isn’t a soft skill rather it’s your protection against burnout.
