This Is Me: Choosing Peace After Corporate Burnout with Lisa Hurley Pt. 2

What happens after you say, “This ain’t it”?

In this episode, Felicia continues her conversation with author, activist, and Reiki Master Lisa Hurley, diving even deeper into the emotional work of rebuilding your identity after corporate burnout.

Lisa opens up about the survival strategies that nearly broke her — from creating a persona to navigate toxic workplaces to being gaslit after George Floyd’s murder. Together, she and Felicia unpack what it really means to choose peace over performance and let go of a path that was never yours to begin with.

If you’ve ever found yourself smiling through exhaustion, shrinking to stay employed, or holding your breath at work just to get through the day — this conversation is your call to exhale and reclaim your truth.

• Letting go of “the path” and rewriting your own story
• How corporate gaslighting and microaggressions slowly wear you down
• The emotional labor of code-switching and performative positivity
• What it really looks like to practice self-love and boundaries at work
• Processing trauma, perimenopause, and anxiety in a world that doesn’t see you
• Creating space to breathe, rest, and just be yourself

Plus: Lisa shares the unexpected moment she broke character at work — and how it changed everything. This is your invitation to stop surviving and start choosing yourself.

This is the final episode in our two-part series with Lisa Hurley.
