Content Creator Series: Burnout, Boundaries & Growth with Patrice Bobo-Miles

Hey friends! In this bonus episode of Unzipped, Amanda sits down with Patrice Bobo Miles, a life coach, author, podcast host, and former mortgage industry pro who walked away from burnout to step into her truth.
Patrice opens up about navigating grief, reclaiming her identity after years of being “everything for everyone,” and how she reconnected with her inner self through deep self-work. This episode is for every woman who’s been stuck on the hamster wheel wondering, “What about me?”
From frosty-dipped chips to unpacking generational patterns and unlearning self-sabotage, this one’s full of warmth, wisdom, and wild honesty.
Key Takeaways:
You’re more than the roles you play. Patrice shares how losing both parents in one year forced her to reevaluate her identity beyond “wife,” “mother,” and “employee.”
Stop calling stress your normal. Years of overwork led to burnout — and ultimately, breakthrough.
Make yourself a priority, for real. Self-care isn’t just massages and nails. It’s pausing, grieving, journaling, and rediscovering the parts of you that got lost in the hustle.
Boundaries are love. Learn how to navigate hard conversations while preserving your peace, your power, and your relationships.
The inner critic isn’t truth, it’s programming. Patrice reveals how she shifted her self-talk, silenced her inner “little b!tch,” and stepped into full self-worth.
Her journal is a must. Going Miles Within offers 90 days of affirmations and space to unlearn what’s holding you back and rewire your mind with what’s real. Snag your copy HERE
