About this Episode

Welcome to The Online Prosperity Show, and I'm your host, Prosper Taruvinga.

This is your number one destination for exclusive insights into how extraordinary individuals turn personal evolution into professional impact. In today’s episode, we’re joined by Ana Smith — a woman whose career has danced through the boardrooms of Microsoft, GE, Hewlett Packard, and American Express, and whose transformation now fuels a mission to help high-achieving leaders build lives they no longer need to recover from.


Now, Ana isn’t just your average leadership strategist — she’s the Chief Learning and Wellbeing Officer at Brightflare Performance Solutions, a TEDx speaker (twice!), an executive coach, author, and a beacon of sanity for those who’ve been thriving publicly while quietly burning out privately. Her resume reads like a Fortune 100 dream, but today, she’s here to reveal the real story behind the accolades — and how she rebuilt success on her own terms.


From navigating motherhood mid-Zoom call, to quietly questioning if burnout was the price of being “admired,” Ana's story is as relatable as it is riveting. There’s laughter in the irony, tension in the transitions, and powerful lessons in the quiet realizations she now helps others face. You’ll discover how a fleeting glance at her sleeping daughter during a leadership call became the turning point that changed everything.


Ana opens up about the invisible costs of overachievement, the identity crisis of stepping away from big brands, and the rebirth of a mission that no longer tolerates sacrifice as the price for success. You’ll hear how neuroscience, psychology, and leadership science now fuel her holistic approach to coaching leaders who crave clarity, not just clout.


We dive into how she integrates wellness without compromising results, how she helps leaders say “yes” to alignment and “no” to expectations, and why she believes leadership must evolve to include presence, purpose, and peace.


And somewhere in the middle — if you’ve ever looked at your to-do list and wondered if this is really what success is supposed to feel like — you’ll find yourself nodding. That’s your cue to drop a comment and share where Ana’s journey mirrors your own. Because transformation doesn’t start with a big decision — it often starts with finally admitting the truth to yourself.


This episode is for the driven, the burned-out, the quietly questioning, and the ones brave enough to rewrite the script.
