Stella Grizont | From Burnout to Breakthrough: The Work Happiness Expert

Do you ever look around and think: how does everyone else seem so happy? If this thought hits you now more than usual, you’re not alone. Did you know that - on average - upwards of 30% of adults in the US report to the American Psychiatric Association that their stress levels significantly increase during the holidays? And 55% of us report experiencing loneliness throughout the season.Stella Grizont, named a leading happiness expert by Time Magazine, is a speaker and executive coach who helps leaders achieve career fulfillment and organizations enhance employee well-being. Some of Stella's corporate clients include Google, Johnson & Johnson, VMWare, and Genentech. Her unique approach to being happier and more engaged on the job has been featured on MSNBC, The Today Show, and Vanity Fair.Growing up, Stella often felt out of place. With immigrant parents from Ukraine, it was hard for her to relate to typical American childhood experiences, leading her to immerse herself in schoolwork in a bid for independence and self-reliance. As the first in her family to attend college, Stella pursued what she believed to be her path: climbing the corporate ladder. However, she soon found herself feeling stuck. It took a recession, being laid off, and ending an engagement for Stella to hit rock bottom—but in that challenging time (when many would give up) she managed to find her light and start anew… and it inspired her to help the rest of us do the same.Tune in as she discusses how to rediscover joy in your work, overcome burnout, and use life's toughest moments as stepping stones to a more fulfilling career and a more meaningful life overall. ************Show Notes:(Full episode release November 18, 2024) A big thank you to Stella Grizont for joining the podcast and sharing your inspiring story.

When Jamie Hess almost died, she woke up. As the daughter of legendary broadcast journalist Joan Lunden, it seemed from the outside that Jamie had everything… so why did she feel so empty inside? She pondered that question as she fell into a life of drug addiction, and when she hit her bottom, it hit her: *nothing feels good until we get grateful* … but we often don’t feel grateful until we have a wake-up call. Each week, we tell stories of turning pain to purpose... shared by some of the most inspirational people on the planet. Because an attitude of gratitude is the heartbeat of happiness... let's get there together.
