What happens when all that you’ve built - career, purpose, status - starts to crumble… not through failure, but simply because your body says ‘No more’?

Dr Jeanne Retief started life on the front lines of international human rights law, but after a diagnosis of panic disorder, she saw the kind of invisible collapse that so many high performers experience.

Rebuilt and reimagined, she’s forged a new identity and launched Figgi Beauty, and the story of how it came to be might just help you reclaim your power, whatever you’re facing…

CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses sensitive topics around sexual abuse, attempted suicide, and alcoholism - listener discretion advised.

Lee and Jeanne discuss:

• How high-achieving professionals can turn mental health challenges into business strengths
• The transformative power of vulnerability in leadership
• Strategies for managing anxiety and building a purpose-driven business
• Why sensitivity isn't a weakness, but potentially your greatest asset
• How community and authenticity can heal you
