#65: Breaking Free from the Corporate Box with Brittney Tollinchi: The Power of the Pivot, Part 1

Episode Overview

What if quitting wasn’t about failure—but about stepping into your highest potential?

In this episode, I sit down with Brittney Tollinchi, host of the Unjuggle the Struggle podcast, to talk about burnout, identity shifts, and the courage to walk away from a path that no longer serves you.

Brittney shares how she went from being a corporate high achiever to a purpose-driven entrepreneur, why she believes quitting can be the ultimate form of freedom, and how she helps others break free from burnout.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the hustle-and-grind cycle, this conversation is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Why quitting isn’t failure—it’s a step toward freedom.


• The “Pre-Identity Crisis” and how it can prepare you for change.


• How to break free from burnout and find clarity in your purpose.


• The ripple effect of joy and how small shifts can transform your life.


• The 6 D’s of Deliverance—Brittney’s step-by-step framework for realigning your life.

Actionable Insights:

✅ Pause and reflect: Are you living in alignment with your true purpose?
✅ Identify your “pre-identity crisis” moments—they might be the key to your next big move.
✅ Redefine quitting: Instead of seeing it as failure, ask yourself, Is this serving my higher purpose?
✅ Prioritize joy: What’s one thing you can do today to invite more joy into your life?
✅ Set boundaries: Creating space for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
