#32 My Panic Attack Changed Everything with Luke Biermann

Curious AF

In this raw and honest solo episode, host Luke Biermann opens up about hitting a wall, a full-blown panic attack after years of pushing through burnout.

Luke shares what led to it, the warning signs he ignored, and what it’s teaching him about success, self-worth, and slowing down. This isn’t another “grind harder” story, it’s a vulnerable look at what happens when drive, ambition, and external validation take over your wellbeing.

He also explores the emotional and physical signs of burnout, the dangerous mindset of “just push through it,” and why self-care is not selfish, it’s for the people around you.

If you’re a high-performer, entrepreneur, or parent trying to do it all, this episode is a powerful reminder to stop before your body forces you to.

Key Takeaways:

• The real cost of ignoring burnout and overcommitment
• What a panic attack feels like, physically and emotionally
• The link between drive, self-worth, and the need for validation
• How to redefine success beyond constant achievement
• Luke’s plan to rebuild balance, peace, and presence
