Hustle Rebels: Burnout & Identity Recovery for High Achievers
A podcast for burned-out professionals ready to build sustainable success without living in survival mode
Welcome to Hustle Rebels — the weekly wake-up call for driven professionals who are burned out, overworked, and done pretending the grind is normal.
This is a space to challenge the blueprint you were handed, question the conditioning you never consented to, and rebuild success in a way that’s actually sustainable — not just impressive on paper.
Inside the podcast, you’ll learn science-backed tools and practical strategies for:
- regulating your nervous system in high-stress careers
- recovering from burnout without quitting your job or blowing up your life
- setting boundaries that protect your time, energy, and identity
- rebuilding productivity through rest, regulation, and capacity
- navigating anxiety, workplace overwhelm, and dysfunctional leadership
- redefining success so it finally feels like yours
This isn’t hustle-culture motivation or a “fix yourself” self-improvement show.
It’s for professionals who are tired of paying for success with their health, relationships, and sense of self.
Hosted by Renae Mansfield — former firefighter-paramedic turned Burnout Recovery and Identity Coach, and founder of Wayward Wellness Coaching — Hustle Rebels flips grind culture on its head and teaches you how to build sustainable success that your nervous system can actually support.
If you’re done white-knuckling your way through a life that looks good on the outside but feels expensive to live — you’re in the right place.
This is Hustle Rebels.
And the rebellion starts here.
