EP: 32 | From Hustling to Wholeness: Why This Summer Needs to Be About You
This week, I’m pulling back the curtain.
In this solo episode, I share my personal journey—from growing up in a family of physicians to climbing the ranks in healthcare leadership, to the moment I realized I was chasing a version of success that no longer fit the life I wanted to live.
I talk about what changed for me after becoming a mother, how I saw my career differently after maternity leave, and why so many high-achieving women are quietly wondering:
“When does it get to feel good again?”
If you’ve been pushing through, showing up for everyone else, and wondering when it’s your turn to exhale… this episode is your invitation to shift.
Because this summer doesn’t have to be about burnout and busyness.
It can be about you.
💫 I’ll also share what inspired me to create The Summer of You, a new group coaching experience for successful women who are ready to reconnect with their joy, energy, and purpose.
✨ Key Takeaways:
- Why Vicki left healthcare administration to pursue work with deeper impact
- How motherhood reshaped her definition of success
- What many high-performing women are actually craving in their careers
- Why fulfillment isn’t found in doing more, but in coming home to yourself
- How The Summer of You coaching experience helps you reconnect, realign, and lead with more ease
