56: She Lost Herself to Hustle—Then Rediscovered Joy Through Curiosity | Lilian Santini

Lilian Santini opens up about the burnout that brought her to her knees—and the radical self-kindness and creativity that helped her rise again. After years of pushing through work, building her business, and carrying the expectations of being a high-achieving immigrant woman, Lilian’s body and spirit gave out. What followed was a year of deep healing, self-reflection, and choosing curiosity over productivity. She shares how she reconnected with her inner child through old diaries, poetry, songwriting, and coloring books—and why slowing down became a revolutionary act of self-love. This is a must-listen for anyone craving a life with more lightness, joy, and creative expression.
