90: Colleen Ofsanik in the hot seat
In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with Colleen Ofsenic, a business owner and wellness leader who walked away from a high-stress corporate career in banking and government to pursue a completely different path.
We talk about what it really costs to change your life—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—and why so many people stay stuck in environments that are slowly draining them. Colleen shares her journey through abandonment, burnout, and personal transformation, and how those experiences pushed her into doing deeper work on herself.
This conversation gets into leadership, ego, and the reality that a lot of people talk about healing but avoid the actual work. We also unpack fear, self-trust, and what it looks like to take responsibility for your growth instead of waiting for things to magically change.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, avoiding hard decisions, or trying to grow without facing what’s underneath… this episode will challenge you in the best way.
