Burnout doesn't always come from overworking. Sometimes it's a delayed reaction to finally feeling safe enough to stop hyper-functioning and let a different part of you lead.

This typically happens after you've shown yourself you know how to make money.

In this episode, I’m sharing why burnout shows up differently for First Gen entrepreneurs—especially daughters of immigrants—and why so much of the advice out there is unhelpful or even harmful.

You’ll hear what I’ve learned from coaching First Gen and WOC clients through this specific type of post-success burnout, what happened when my own capacity disappeared after hitting my biggest launch ever, and how I kept my business running while letting a new version of me take the lead.

This isn’t a conversation about hustle. It’s about identity, capacity, and evolution.

Here’s what I’m breaking down:

• Why First Gen burnout has less to do with how much you've been working recently and MORE to do with how safe you feel to stop suppressing and over-functioning
• The difference between situational burnout and generational burnout
• Why your high-functioning self can’t carry you forever (and isn’t meant to)
• How burnout can hit when your nervous system finally stops overriding everything
• What it means to run a business with D+ capacity—and how it can actually serve you
• How to work with the season you're in without burning it all down

🎙 Plus: I’m sharing a peek into my upcoming workshop, Scaling Beyond Survival Mode as a WOC Entrepreneur, happening Oct 1st, and how I restructured my own business to stay profitable even while recovering from burnout.

I didn’t grow a multi-six figure business because I changed my offers.

I did it because I changed how I held my business—and myself.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the real, unglamorous shifts that helped me go from a 150K year to consistent 20K months in private coaching—before ever switching to a group model. These are the exact mindset, nervous system, and identity shifts I’ve seen take people out of business if they don’t happen.

And I get it. In 2021, I expected the success of my first six-figure year to continue. What I didn’t realize was that without healing, support, and emotional maturity, I couldn’t hold it. I got isolated, overstimulated, and my undiagnosed ADHD left me stuck in shame. But everything changed in the last 2 months of that year—and I want to show you what made that shift possible.

You’ll hear me talk about:

• What allowed me to go from 70K in 10 months… to 80K in 2
• Why therapy and emotional processing—not just mindset work—kept me in business
• How shame and hyper-independence can sound logical but sabotage your growth
• Why getting a job isn’t a failure, and how I reframed safety
• The moment I stopped asking my business to rescue me from my feelings
• Six shifts that changed my leadership, capacity, and revenue forever

Many of us grew up watching our mothers and grandmothers work themselves to the point of exhaustion—never resting, never prioritizing themselves, and often becoming sick in the process. We inherit those patterns, and before we know it, we’re ignoring pain, overriding our emotions, and treating our bodies like they’re machines that just have to keep going.

That’s where Naihomy Jerez comes in. She’s a Bronx-raised Dominicana, Certified Integrative Nutrition and Hormone Health Coach, and host of WELLthy Generation podcast. She helps women of color heal their bodies, balance their hormones, and build confidence—without restriction, burnout, or giving up their cultural foods.

Her own postpartum journey transformed her relationship with her body. After losing 50 pounds and maintaining it for years while keeping her plátanos and bagels, she turned what she learned into a coaching practice that now serves women across the country.

In this conversation, Naihomy shares the same principles she teaches her clients—practical, culturally aware strategies to move from survival mode into sustainable, joyful health. You’ll leave knowing how to recognize when your body is asking for help, and how to respond in ways that honor both your wellbeing and your heritage.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The hidden ways survival mode affects your health and energy
• Why punishing your body doesn’t lead to lasting change
• How to make health shifts without cutting out the foods you love
• The surprising first step to building confidence in your body
• How to create simple, sustainable routines that work with a busy life
• Why representation matters in health coaching—and what difference it makes
