What happens when success pushes you to the edge, and your body tells you the truth your mind has been avoiding?
In this powerful and deeply human episode, host Dionne Malush sits down with Chris Kille, a Boston-based entrepreneur, author, and operations expert who learned the hard way that achievement means nothing if you lose yourself in the process.
Chris shares the moment that changed everything, a sudden, terrifying health scare doctors believed was a stroke, and how it forced him to confront burnout, addiction, unsustainable habits, and the lie that entrepreneurs must carry every burden alone.
This conversation is honest, grounding, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from falling apart and choosing to rise stronger. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or alone on your entrepreneurial path, this episode will remind you that you’re not the only one and that rebuilding is always possible.
A raw and inspiring look at resilience, reinvention, and the courage to finally choose yourself.
