#209 Terry Tateossian - Busy, Burnt Out, and Done: Terry Tateossian’s Wake-Up Call
Terry Tateossian had it all on paper—founder of a successful tech agency, two beautiful kids, and a reputation for being the one who always delivered. But behind the scenes? She was running on caffeine, chaos, and the belief that being "on" 24/7 was just the price of success.
Then came the hospital visits. Not once, but twice.
In this episode, Terry shares the raw truth about how she broke the cycle—ditching the sugar, the wine, the self-neglect—and lost over 80 pounds in her 40s. But this isn’t a story about weight loss. It’s about regaining agency, learning how to eat (really eat), and lifting more than just dumbbells—lifting herself out of survival mode.
💡 Why listen?
If you’re a high-achieving woman who keeps telling yourself “I’ll deal with it later,” this is your wake-up call. Terry’s journey will make you rethink what you’re tolerating in your own life—and how to finally put yourself on the to-do list.
