Ep. 108 with Bree Johnson | CEO & Founder, Executive Unschool
Tuesday, 7 July, 2026
Healing Work WoundsYour job can break your heart without ever breaking a law, and that gap is where so many professional women get stuck. We sit down with Bree, an attorney turned founder of Executive Unschool and host of the podcast How Good Can It Get, to name what so many people feel but rarely say out loud: workplace harm leaves real wounds, and your nervous system doesn’t forget them just because you switched companies. We unpack the legal career reality behind the prestige, including the associate grind, billable-hour pressure, partnership goalposts, and the golden handcuffs of student debt and status. Bree shares how motherhood, entrepreneurship, and major career pivots reshaped her view of ambition, identity, and what it means to be “successful” when you also want to be present at home. Then we get actionable with healing and work recovery. Bree walks us through her “work wounds” framework (burnout, bullying, bad behavior, betrayal), why betrayal can be the hardest to unwind, and how separating worth from work creates space for faith, joy, and better boundaries. We also talk nervous system regulation, micro recoveries throughout the day, breathwork for scattered minds, and designing seasonality into your year so you can create, recover, and show up with more clarity. If you’re craving a career that loves you back, hit play, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next. If you enjoy the conversation, leave a review and tell us: what would “enough” look like in your life right now?Resources Mentioned:How Good Can It Get PodcastConnect with Bree:Website: Executive UnschoolIG: @executiveunschool & @breejohnsonofficialLinkedIn: Bree JohnsonContact the Host, Kelly Kirk:Email: info.ryh7@gmail.comGet Connected/Follow:The Hue Drop Newsletter: Subscribe HereIG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirkFacebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook PageCAKES Affiliate Link: KELLYKIRKCredits:Editor: Joseph KirkMusic: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!
