From Burnout to Dharma: Healing, Purpose, and Starting Over - Debbie Vojik

How a nurse walked away from the hospital, built a yoga studio, survived a fire, and found her true path.

Some stories entertain you. Then, some stories change you.

Debbie Vojik’s path is the latter.

On the latest episode of Whiplash Nation, we sit down with Debbie—once a pediatric ICU nurse, now a yoga therapist and studio owner—to talk about what happens after burnout. Spoiler: she didn’t just walk away from nursing. She walked into something that would ask more of her, challenge her beliefs, and ultimately align with her soul.

Her path includes:

→ Decades in medicine
→ An emotional break triggered by the loss of her grandmother
→ A yoga practice that quietly healed what medicine could not
→ A leap into entrepreneurship, yoga therapy school, and spiritual leadership
→ A pandemic shutdown and a literal fire that forced her to rebuild it all again

This episode isn’t just about yoga. It’s about what it means to follow your dharma—your truest life path—and how often that path begins with a sense of loss or disruption.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a loop, craving meaning, or wondering how to restart after everything falls apart—this one’s for you.
