This 30-year-old COO quit a career in private equity and a starring role at Pinterest to work in wellness tech after finding purpose in Buddhism

Burnout is a term regularly bandied around in an age where emphasis on work-life balance is higher than ever, but difficult to achieve.

"It was a cut-throat culture, with little room for stepping outside the box," she told Business Insider in an interview. "I had never liked the taste of coffee, but then once I realized it was an acceptable break from the office I quickly became a coffee aficionado. I'll never forget those walks to the coffee shop — my head fuzzy, my body moving but it was like I wasn't there.

The next step was more drastic yet. Wary of burnout and feeling confused she opted to take a brave step, selling her possessions, quitting a dream job and leaving LA on a one-way ticket to travel solo aged 28. She hopes that her own journey through the up and down world of employment can help allow others to find time to put themselves first in an attempt to find balance.
