What happens when the life you’ve meticulously built—the six-figure corporate career, the high-achieving title, the constant striving—is shattered by a loss you never saw coming? This week, we are joined by the incredible Rebecca Muriuki, a Corporate Exit Strategist and Human Design Wealth Coach who experienced this exact collision.
Rebecca spent her career mastering the art of performance, climbing the ladder to become an Associate Director at Deloitte. But in 2019, an ectopic pregnancy forced a sudden, painful pause. It was a devastating loss that became a profound awakening, making her question the very foundation of the life she had built. She realized that her relentless pursuit of success had disconnected her from her own body, her natural rhythm, and the kind of present mother she truly wanted to be.
In this powerful conversation, Rebecca shares how that moment of grief became the catalyst for her own revolution. She walks us through her journey of leaving her corporate career, healing her relationship with perfectionism, and creating a life—and a business—rooted in presence, sovereignty, and joy. This episode is a must-listen for any high-achieving woman who has felt the pull to slow down and is ready to build a life that feels as good as it looks.
