From Burnout to Boundaries: Sophia Salmon on Building a Sustainable Business After Corporate

June 04, 2025 • Evelyn Lopez Delon • Season 2 • Episode 91

What if hitting rock bottom was the moment you finally found clarity?
That’s what happened to Sophia Salmon — after a mental health crisis forced her to walk away from a high-level corporate career, she rebuilt her life and business from the ground up.

But this isn’t just a comeback story. It’s a call to every woman who’s ever thought:
✨ “I can’t do this anymore.”
✨ “Something has to change.”
✨ “There must be a better way to live and work.”

In this episode, Sophia shares the raw truth behind burnout, the toxic hustle culture in corporate life, and how she chose freedom, alignment, and mental sustainability instead.

If you’ve ever felt like you're suffocating in a life that looks successful on the outside but feels anything but — this conversation will land.

💔 Why This Episode Matters:

So many women leave corporate not because they’re not ambitious — but because the system wasn’t built with us in mind. From being sidelined after maternity leave, to navigating mental health alone, to constantly proving our worth… it’s exhausting.

Sophia’s story is one of reclaiming her voice, redefining her values, and saying: “There has to be another way.” And she’s built it.
