In This Episode
In this heartwarming and inspirational conversation, Leah sits down with certified spiritual life coach, Janelle Lindemuth of Highly Sensitive Life Coach.
During this conversation, Leah and Janelle explore what often happens when high-achieving, sensitive women hit burnout, and how reconnecting with intuition can guide sensitive souls back to alignment, joy, and deeper self-trust.
Together, they unpack Janelle’s lived experience of having woken up one morning with the realization that the life that looked “good” on paper no longer felt right in her body. Janelle shares her journey from corporate burnout, to rebuilding her life from the inside out, to finally becoming a guide for women navigating similar challenges.
If you’re a sensitive human who has ever found yourself pushing through exhaustion, repeating cycles of burnout, questioning your path, or wondering why success still feels hollow, this episode offers both resonance and relief.

In This Conversation:
In this episode, Janelle shares how burnout, chronic fatigue, and persistent physical symptoms became the turning point that forced her to slow down and listen to what her body had been trying to tell her for years. She walks us through the moment she realized she could no longer stay in her corporate career—no matter how successful it looked on the outside—and how she began the courageous process of rebuilding her life from the inside out.
We explore how reconnecting with intuition doesn’t require dramatic rituals or hours of meditation; sometimes a single minute of silence, a deep breath, or a moment of stillness is enough to shift everything. Janelle also shares the synchronicities and inner nudges that ultimately led her to the spiritual life coaching program that transformed her path.
Together, we examine how to release the story that you’re “behind,” and what it looks like to trust that your timeline is unfolding exactly as it should. Janelle reflects on why joy—rather than performance, approval, or productivity—is one of the most reliable compasses for spiritual alignment.
We close with practical, accessible ways to begin trusting yourself again after years of burnout or self-doubt.
