She had the title, the team, and the track record—but Tona Restine was running on empty.
In this powerful conversation, former real estate broker / owner turned speaker / writer / coach, Tona Restine opens up about the moment she realized success was costing her more than it was giving her. Learn how she stepped away from the grind and rediscovered clarity, energy, and purpose.
Tona opens up about what burnout really looked like for her, how slowing down saved her, and why choosing rest over relentless hustle became the foundation for a business (and life) she’s truly proud of.
