In this episode, I get to speak with Rebecca O’Brien. Rebecca, a caring and active child who was born in Ireland and grew up in California, moved with her family to Sweden at the age of 11. She grew up to be an ambitious outgoing perfectionist who longed to graduate and spread her wings around the world. By 2014 she had spent 15 years in the International Sales and Marketing industry, in global companies, working long hours with high-end clientele, traveling, attending award shows and trade shows, hosting client entertainment, events, conferences, budget meetings, quarterly & annually reports. This felt exhilarating to her as she grew in knowledge and experience through her career in Europe, including, a socially fun-filled life. But all of this eventually caused her to hit a wall through burnout as she started losing hair, couldn’t remember, started losing focus, and just went downhill from there.Now she’s a burn-out prevention coach helping folks stay focused and add breaks in their lives.
