"I burned out so severely in my last job that I broke out in hives that lasted six years. The baseline was all over my body, from head to toe. On my face, it started as a small hive on both cheeks and gradually grew to the point where my entire face was swollen. They would peak for one whole week. Then it would take three weeks to return to normal and start up again in the fourth week."
"I worked in high-end estate management, overseeing multiple luxury properties, managing household staff, and handling a wide range of requests. I had to quit, and now I'm a business and executive coach. Once I got my stress levels under control, my hives went away. My first job in 2010 was incredible I managed a 20,000-square-foot estate in Santa Monica and continued to take on additional clients. Everything grew through word of mouth."
Audrey Wang experienced severe burnout during a career in high-end estate management that triggered chronic hives lasting six years. Hives covered her body, caused facial swelling, and followed a cyclical pattern of a week-long peak and three weeks of remission. Job demands included overseeing multiple luxury properties, managing household staff, handling extreme client requests, and frequent travel to work for international families. One impossible client demand involved chartering a helicopter to fly over a no-fly zone. Wang quit, prioritized her health, shifted into business and executive coaching, and saw the hives disappear after stress levels fell.
