What drives someone to seek a life that feels calmer, truer, and less consumed by work? This conversation between host Ellen Stewart and business coach and burnout recovery specialist Jenevieve Hubbard sits right in that space, and it’s especially relatable if you’re rebuilding life in recovery and wondering what “healthy work” should look like. You’ll hear Jenevieve share how a seemingly dream career as a wilderness-based florist turned into physical exhaustion and emotional overload.
She talks openly about grief after multiple miscarriages and how chasing an Instagram-ready life became a way to outrun pain, until her body and mind simply hit a wall. As Ellen points out, that “shedding process” mirrors what many people in addiction recovery experience: letting go of identities, careers and old coping mechanisms that no longer fit. From there, the episode shifts into how Jenevieve now supports heart-led business owners as a coach.
She explains her approach to burnout, framing it as a signal that “I can't go any further” rather than a personal failure, and stresses the need for permission to rest in a culture that rewards constant productivity.
Her analogy of life and business as seasonal—“we have to go underground… letting the winter come over, and just gestating for a little while”—offers a gentle reframe for anyone scared of being “stuck.” Mindfulness and spirituality weave through the chat, with practical tools like nature therapy.
Jenevieve describes asking clients to take off their shoes and "put your feet in the soil" to re-ground themselves, and closes with simple, clear advice: "Put down your phone, close your computer at 5:30 sharp, and go outside." If you’re questioning your relationship with work while healing your relationship with yourself, this honest, calming episode might nudge you to ask: what would your life look like if feeling peaceful mattered more than being busy?
