From Corporate Burnout to Purpose Driven Entrepreneur
5/7/202615 min
After 22.5 years in corporate, everything Caylene Salii built collapsed at once, her marriage ended, her career disappeared, and her identity shattered. Instead of rebuilding the same life, she chose something harder, healing. In this episode of Living Your Legacy, Caylene shares how trauma, alignment, and authenticity became the foundation for her next chapter as the founder of Tunnel Vision Coaching. She breaks down how internal healing directly impacts business growth, why entrepreneurs stay stuck in misalignment, and how awareness and self reflection unlock a new reality. This is not about surface level success. It is about rebuilding from truth and turning pain into purpose.
Key Takeaways

• Alignment matters more than stability or comfort
