Henri Hebert is a long-time television producer, specializing in reality TV. She’s worked on shows like The X Factor, Biggest Loser, and The Jacksons: Next Generation.

Henri shares the reality of what it’s like in a TV producing career, and how this fueled Henri’s need to find a better balance in life. The heart of our conversation is about how she found herself malnourished and dealing with a bout of pneumonia, and her subsequent realization that she was putting her basic needs and happiness second to her career.

This was a life change that she desperately needed and a lesson for all of us to learn.
