From Burnout to Business Owner (Client Case Study)In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful career coaching case study with my client, Maren. After moving from the Netherlands to Sweden and building a “squiggly” career across physiotherapy, admin, tech support, HR tech and customer success, she hit a point of exhaustion and misalignment at work.Maren came to coaching feeling tired, frustrated, and unsure of her next career move. Together, we explored her strengths, values and ideal work life. What started as a search for a new role turned into something bigger: the clarity and confidence to start her own business and design work that truly fits her.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeHow career coaching creates clarity The tools we used to help Maren understand her strengths, preferences and ideal working environment.From self-doubt to self-advocacy at work How Maren went from “keeping quiet” to confidently speaking up, communicating her value, and challenging assumptions about what was possible in her career.A practical path from employee to business owner How she made a calculated, low-risk transition into entrepreneurship in Sweden, including using a legally protected leave to start her business without losing job security.In this episode, we talk about:What burnout and misalignment looked like for her day-to-dayWhy trying to “figure it all out in your head” keeps you stuckHow informational interviews and LinkedIn outreach gave her real-world dataThe mindset shift from “maybe one day I’ll start a business” to “I’m a business owner now”The emotional reality of starting a business: fear, excitement, headaches… and growthMaren also shares how coaching helped her avoid taking the long, indirect “multi-stop flight” in her career, and instead take a more direct route to the work and life she actually wanted.Connect with Maren Today, Maren runs Floohi, where she helps small and growing businesses:Create calm, systemised operations behind the scenesStreamline workflows and processesUse tools like Notion to bring structure and clarity so founders can focus on what they do bestIf you’re a business owner who feels like everything is in your head and your backend is chaos, you’ll love hearing how Maren supports her clients.👉 Connect with Maren and learn more about Floohi via the links in the show notes.Considering Coaching?If you’re:Drained and disengaged in your current roleWondering what else you could do with your experienceConsidering a career change or starting a business but don’t know where to startthis episode will give you a real-life example of what’s possible with structured career coaching, accountability, and a clear plan.If you’re ready to explore your next chapter and want support, book a career clarity call.
