In this fast-paced and deeply honest conversation, Di Gillett sits down with Mandi Gunsberger, five-time founder and visionary dealmaker behind Babyology and Nourish Travel. Together they explore what it really costs to build something extraordinary: the burnout, the identity traps, the pressure of keeping it all together and the courage it takes to stop, reset, and start again.

From founding a multi-million-dollar business to selling it and rediscovering herself through a year in Tuscany, Mandi shares powerful lessons on entrepreneurship, wellbeing, and the importance of connection over hustle. A masterclass in business growth, resilience, and the power of vulnerability, when success and self collide.

In this episode, we explore:

➜ The early lessons that shaped Mandi’s entrepreneurial drive

➜ The fine line between ambition and exhaustion

➜ How genuine connection beats traditional networking

➜ The reality of burnout — and how to spot the signs early

➜ What Tuscany taught her about slowing down to speed up

➜ How Nourish Travel helps others prioritise wellbeing without guilt
