The Lo-Down

Breaking Free from Corporate Burnout | Michelle Yu E5

Lorenzo Mercado Episode 5

In this episode of The Lo-down, I sit down with Michelle Yu, a former corporate high-achiever who made the bold decision to walk away from a successful career and embrace a life of growth, purpose, and coaching. Michelle shares her powerful story of corporate burnout, taking a leap of faith, and ultimately transforming her life to help others as a certified growth coach. We dive deep into the importance of mindset, making conscious life choices, and how to break free from the grind to live a more authentic, fulfilling life.

It’s easy to get stuck in the grind and focus so much on the hustle that we forget to ask ourselves if the sacrifices we’re making are really worth it. Michelle’s perspective is a breath of fresh air because she shows us that success isn’t just about pushing harder, but about realigning with what matters most—our health, relationships, and personal fulfillment. Today, she’ll share her incredible journey from burnout to building a thriving coaching business, and how she helps others navigate their own path without losing themselves in the process.

Whether you’re stuck in a corporate job, facing burnout, or simply looking for inspiration to take your next big leap, Michelle’s journey offers valuable insights and motivation.
