    Brunch with Chrissy - Boundaries, Burnout, and Building a Life That Actually Feels Good

    What does “having it all” actually look like… and at what cost? In this episode of Beyond Brunch, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Chrissy — trauma surgeon, wellness coach, new mom, and the person who keeps me honest when I try to overcommit (which is often). We get into the real conversation behind balance, boundaries, and what it actually takes to build a life that feels aligned — not just impressive on paper. Chrissy shares her journey from chasing achievement in medicine to redefining success on her own terms. We talk about burnout, people-pleasing, and the quiet realization that you don’t have to do everything to be enough. This one is equal parts grounding and eye-opening — with a few mic-drop moments you’ll want to come back to. In this episode, we cover: Why balance isn’t about doing it all — it’s about choosing intentionallyThe trade-offs no one talks about in high-achieving careersHow to set boundaries without guiltThe power of a simple morning routine (that actually sticks)“Triggers are treasures” — and what that really meansReframing setbacks with 3 simple questionsWhy purpose matters more than hustleThe truth about success, money, and fulfillmentIf you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, stuck in hustle mode, or unsure what actually matters — this conversation is for you.
