In this honest and engaging talk, Inga Orth shares her journey from burnout to breakthrough—from losing herself in overwork, people-pleasing, and perfectionism to reconnecting with her worth, her joy, and her land. As a farmer, cheesemaker, and former PBS host, Inga speaks from lived experience about the emotional toll of constantly pushing through and the powerful process of slowing down, setting boundaries, and rebuilding a life that feels like home. She offers real-world insights into healing from emotional exhaustion, redefining success, and finding self-compassion—without a wellness retreat budget.
This is a talk for anyone who’s ever felt like they’ve lost themselves while trying to hold it all together. Expect storytelling, humor, and hard-won wisdom from a woman who’s been there—and found her way back.
