In this rich and inspiring conversation, I talk with Jennifer Quent, former professional ballet dancer with the American Ballet Theater, about what it really takes to pursue excellence, leave behind something you love, and reinvent your path with courage.

Jennifer shares her journey from childhood ballet dreams to performing on world-class stages—and what happened when the dream began to feel too small for her evolving self. We explore how identity can expand, how the relentless pursuit of growth requires discomfort, and how reinvention is not about starting over, but uncovering more of who you really are.

What if burnout isn’t just about doing too much—but about feeling disconnected from who you really are?

In this episode, I reflect on a pivotal moment in my life—when I hit a wall of burnout that forced me to finally listen to the deeper truth I’d been ignoring. I share what the experience taught me about aliveness, joy, and the quiet cost of abandoning what lights you up.

We’ll talk about the signs of burnout no one talks about, why self-care is about way more than sleep or breaks, and how reconnecting to your Zone of Greatness can change everything.

If you’ve been feeling numb, drained, or just going through the motions—this one’s for you.
