Time To Press Pause - Real-Life Stories from the C-Suite
Allow Yourself to Evolve with Jenn Gulbrand
In this episode, Ellen Williams interviews Jennifer Gulbrand, founder of Embody Your Essence, who shares her journey of breaking free from burnout and discovering authenticity. After 35 years in the health and wellness industry, Jennifer realized that her business success did not equate to personal fulfillment. Despite her achievements, she felt disconnected from her own truth. Through mindfulness, meditation, energy work, and intentional stillness, Jennifer reconnected with herself and shifted her focus toward promoting self-care and authenticity, eventually founding the SheBreathes Balance Women's Collaborative and later expanding it to the We Breathe Wellness Center.
Jennifer highlights the importance of listening to oneself and recognizing when life no longer aligns with one's deeper purpose. She emphasizes that pausing is not about giving up but rather about realigning with one’s authentic self. Her advice for leaders and entrepreneurs is to recognize signs of burnout and exhaustion as signals to press pause, reflect, and realign. Jennifer concludes by encouraging listeners to embrace introspection and courageously pursue their own evolution, as true transformation begins within.
