In this episode I share an everyday burnout conversation with Dillan DiGiovanni.

Dillan is a certified integrative health coach, a former classroom teacher, a speaker (with two brilliant TEDx talks under his belt!), a consultant for nurturing workplace wellness and a host to popular workshops & community events.

Dillan's life and work inspires people of all identities. His lived experience with change shines brightly through his compassionate support for clients navigating the lifelong and challenging path to finding and becoming their true selves. 

Since Dillan has experienced transformation with his own health, career, transition and spirituality, he strives to share the beautiful wisdom that highlights our wellness as fuel for our resilience and as the foundation that roots and holds us as we face and thrive through adversity.  


Dillan identifies as a Buddhist and a beginner every day, making him a beloved coach for those facing challenges in the modern human experience, particularly with issues around identity, belonging, purpose, wellness, self-acceptance and compassion for others.
