Welcome back to another inspiring episode of Hard Beautiful Journey, friends! In this week’s episode, I sat down with Matt Gerlach—an entrepreneur, coach, and aspiring author who's transformed his life from burnout to abundance. Matt has worked with powerhouse brands and built a successful business, but what makes his story stand out is the raw honesty with which he shares his struggles and ultimate healing.
If you’ve ever been driven by ambition but felt that internal crash waiting just around the corner, you’re not alone. Matt knows all too well the price that comes with being a high achiever. Seven years ago, he hit a breaking point. His relentless drive led to anxiety attacks, health scares, and the realization that success without boundaries comes at a heavy cost.
But this episode isn’t just about the hard times—it’s about the beautiful transformation that can happen when you choose to heal. Matt walks us through how he rediscovered his self-worth, learned to set boundaries, and embraced a holistic approach to healing that included yoga, therapy, and personal reflection.
We also laugh about some of the quirks of life as high achievers—like how Matt survived off frozen yogurt and wine (not recommended!) while juggling way too much. His humor and self-awareness are just what we need to remember that healing isn’t always pretty, but it’s absolutely worth it.
If you’re an entrepreneur, a high achiever, or just someone who’s felt the strain of life’s demands, this episode is for you. Matt’s journey from burnout to abundance is filled with wisdom, laughter, and actionable takeaways to help you find emotional and financial fulfillment. Don’t miss this conversation!
Key Takeaways:
- You are worthy of setting boundaries.
- Growth doesn’t have to come from pain; it can come from purpose.
- Healing is a process, not a destination, and it’s okay to need help along the way.
