Welcome to the show.
In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring Chanel Robe, a Jamaican entrepreneur, author, and advocate for intentional living. Chanel shares her deeply personal journey through burnout, overcoming trauma, and ultimately embracing her “pink flamingo” identity—a metaphor for living authentically and joyfully.
Key themes:
Burnout and Transformation: Chanel recounts two intense bouts with burnout, highlighting how ignoring emotional wellness can manifest in physical and relational issues.
Intentional Living: She emphasises the importance of aligning your daily life with your core vision, explaining how she reclaimed her purpose by leaving corporate life with only three months’ savings.
The Pink Flamingo Philosophy: Drawing on her book, In Search of the Pink Flamingo, Chanel encourages us to own our uniqueness unapologetically. Flamingos are pink because of what they consume—similarly, we must carefully curate our environment and what we “feed” ourselves.
Serving from Overflow: Chanel’s powerful mantra—serve others only when you’re full—reminds us to prioritise our own well-being to truly help others.
The ONE Thing:
Burnout isn’t just about overwork; it often stems from living out of alignment with your true self. By embracing intentional living, you can rebuild from burnout and discover your authentic “pink flamingo.”
