I Was the "Problem Solver" Who Couldn't Solve My Own Tsunami.

The "Energizer Bunny" Era

For over 30 years, I lived at a relentless pace. I was the "Energizer Bunny" of the corporate world—highly strung, always on the go, and the ultimate "Yes Man". Nothing was ever too hard, and I was always the first to go the extra mile to help, achieve, and climb both the corporate and social ladders.

I was a C-suite executive, an entrepreneur, and a community leader known for lateral thinking and bringing people together. But beneath the recognition and the "overachiever" status, I was neglecting my health and my family. I realized too late that I loved the validation and praise of others more than I loved myself.

Those I trusted most didn't just leave—they betrayed, sabotaged, and scapegoated me. It was my own version of Everything Everywhere All at Once; a total collapse of my finances, my identity, my health and even my memory.
