When Success Starts to Feel Like Burnout with Crystal Johnson
What happens when the business you built for freedom starts taking over your life? In this episode of Radiant Revolution , Kim sits down with Meta and growth strategist Crystal Johnson for an honest conversation about burnout, boundaries, self-trust, and what it really means to build a business that supports the life you actually want. Crystal shares her own experience of realizing she had essentially recreated a 9-to-5 at home, constantly checking Slack, answering clients on weekends, putting work before her own needs, and slowly losing sight of why she started her business in the first place. Together, Kim and Crystal unpack the pressure high-achieving women feel to constantly grow, scale, achieve more, and look outside themselves for the “right” answer. They also discuss the changing online coaching industry, the rise of AI, why human connection still matters, and the importance of building success around your own values rather than someone else’s definition of it.
