FROM BURNOUT TO PURPOSE: A QUEER LEADER'S PATH TO IMPACT AND INNER PEACE

In this illuminating conversation with Michael Stephens, founder of We Create Space, we explore what happens when a leader dares to let go of corporate expectations and instead follows a deeper calling.

After a full-blown burnout that cost him his job, home, and sense of self, Michael embarked on a journey of radical self-knowledge. What began as a side project during COVID—a single Zoom link from his childhood bedroom—evolved into a global platform and learning community reinvesting over 1.2 million euros into the LGBTQ+ community.

Michael opens up about the realities of healing while building a business, the power and challenge of queer leadership, and why transparency, emotional honesty, and compassion are non-negotiable in today’s world. Together, we unpack what it truly means to lead with purpose, how to balance profit with impact, and why courage and risk always go hand in hand.

Whether you're a founder navigating uncertainty, a creator seeking deeper alignment, or a human craving meaning in a chaotic world—this episode offers a grounded, heartfelt reminder: your purpose doesn't have to come at the cost of your well-being.

Ya sea que estés luchando contra el agotamiento, buscando conexiones más profundas, o simplemente cansado de sacrificar tu autenticidad por pertenecer, este episodio ofrece una sabiduría refrescante para cualquiera que esté listo para vivir una vida plenamente vivida en lugar de meramente perfecta.
