Burnout, Boundaries, and Building a Life That Fits with Rachelle Collins | 027

She was taking care of everyone – her parents, her child, her career, and someone with cancer. Then she realized she was disappearing.

Rachel Collins was juggling a demanding HR career, raising a son, and helping care for her aging parents – when someone else in her life was suddenly diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. 

With zero warning, she became the full-time caregiver for a full-time crisis. She held it together like only an oldest daughter can – but beneath the to-do lists and doctor visits, Rachel felt herself vanishing. Until a moment of clarity (and a good cry with girlfriends) led her to reclaim something she hadn’t prioritized in years: herself. 

In this episode, Rachel shares the mindful productivity practice that helped her rebuild her identity, the art ritual that became her sanity anchor, and what it really takes to go from barely surviving to intentionally living. 

This one’s for every woman who’s ever tried to carry too much – and thought she had to.
