In this episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with Stacey Kay, founder of hydr.ate, to unpack a powerful journey through addiction, anxiety, burnout, and personal transformation.

Stacey opens up about struggling with alcohol and drugs in her twenties, pushing herself through high-pressure sales careers, and the moment her body forced her to stop; heart palpitations, numbness, and an anxiety episode that looked like a heart attack. That wake-up call sparked a complete shift inward.

The conversation explores how stress, unresolved grief, and self-criticism can silently destroy mental and physical health, and how meditation became a turning point in Stacey’s healing journey.

 

Key Takeaways

-Burnout often shows up physically before we acknowledge it mentally.

-Addiction and anxiety thrive when emotions go unprocessed.

-Meditation creates space between reaction and response.

-True accountability must be paired with self-compassion.

-Slowing down is sometimes the most productive move.

-It’s never too late to pivot into meaningful work.
