High performance looks great on paper. Until your body starts keeping the score.

In this episode, Aoife Reilly shares how she went from thriving at IBM and Meta to facing a quiet health crisis that changed everything. What began as burnout symptoms turned into a complete rethinking of success, work, and well-being.

We talk about:

• The physical cost of pushing through and why most people miss the early signs

• Why Aoife didn’t leave corporate overnight — and what changed when she became a parent

• How she built Juvelo to support leaders who want to thrive without burning out

• The surprising link between nutrition, energy, and executive performance

This isn’t your usual burnout story — it’s about making space for health before your body forces you to.

What do archaeology, the Peace Corps, and SaaS revenue architecture have in common? More than you think, especially when Beth Yehaskel is the one connecting the dots.

Beth didn’t set out to build a career in tech. She started in the dirt (literally) as an archaeologist. But her love of writing and curiosity about people took her from field reports to technical writing, and eventually to customer success, go-to-market strategy, and coaching executives across the globe.

In this episode, we talk about how to spot the systems and patterns that hold businesses (and careers) back, and why stepping away after a bad job can sometimes be the best decision you ever make.

We also explore:

• The red flags she missed and what she learned from a role that didn’t work

• Why consulting helped her rediscover confidence and clarity

• Why AI is about systems, not shortcuts.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “I’ve worked hard for this” and “I’m not sure I want it anymore,” Beth’s story will speak to you.
