The Dark Side of 10x: The Finance Coach Who Walked Away from 'Success'

What if chasing 10x growth and entrepreneurial “success” is actually destroying your health, your happiness, and your business?


In this eye-opening episode of Leaders in Disguise, finance coach Serena Humphrey reveals the hidden costs of hustle culture. After surviving three financial traumas in her twenties and suffering a total physical and mental collapse, Serena exposes why the relentless pursuit of more nearly broke her - and why she chose to walk away.


This isn’t just a story about burnout. It’s a blueprint for redefining success, building intentional wealth, and leading with purpose (not pressure).


What You’ll Discover:

  • Why the 10x mindset and hustle culture are a fast track to burnout and chronic illness
  • The emotional and ethical toll of making an entire workforce redundant in your twenties
  • How surviving financial trauma redefined Serena’s ideas of wealth, security, and leadership
  • The difference between chasing an exit fantasy and building sustainable, intentional wealth
  • Why performative success (cars, status, revenue milestones) is a trap - and how Serena’s viral LinkedIn post challenged the narrative
  • Grounded, practical advice for leaders feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck


Subscribe for more powerful, unfiltered stories about the real cost of leadership and the courage it takes to redefine success.

Have you ever felt trapped by the pressure to scale or “succeed”?
