Episode Synopsis

From international criminal law to skincare for anxious souls, Dr. Jeanne Retief’s journey is anything but typical—and exactly what this podcast is about.
In this raw, soul-baring conversation, Jeanne opens up about the panic disorder that forced her to walk away from a career she loved, the grief that nearly broke her, and the reinvention she never planned—but ultimately needed.
We’re talking:

Why anxiety doesn’t need to be hidden—or healed to be honored
Grieving the life you thought you’d have
The brutal truth about addiction, judgment, and compassion
What wholeness really looks like—especially when it’s messy
How to honor your pain and still make room for purpose

This isn’t a before-and-after success story—it’s a truth-telling, heart-opening invitation to stop performing and start becoming.
