Do you look like you’ve got it all together — but inside, your nervous system is screaming and you feel like you are a fingertip away from losing it?
You’ve heard the duck metaphor: smooth and serene above water, paddling like hell below. This episode pulls back the curtain on the hidden anxiety of high-achieving women — the ones who check every wellness box but still feel disconnected, overwhelmed, and one breath away from burnout. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still feel off, this one’s for you.
The Key Takeaways of this episode:
How Survival Mode Can Wear a Super Suit: How perfectionism, people-pleasing, and performance-based worth quietly fuel anxiety even in the most “put-together” women.
Why Wellness Without Soul is Just Another Task- (just checking boxes):Why clean eating, meditation, and yoga aren’t enough if they’re being used to outrun emotion instead of owning and regulate it.
What Are the Subtle, and not so Subtle Signs of Survival Mode and How The Nervous System Doesn’t Lie: Signs you’re stuck in stress physiology even if your calendar says “self-care.”
Unmet Needs Wear Many Masks and Pausing or Asking for Support is a Power Move, NOT a weakness: How suppressed emotions, inherited beliefs, and unmet needs show up as control, overthinking, irritability, or fatigue. Giving yourself permission to pause and even get some support is empowering and helps you reconnect with yourself, with others and with what you need to thrive, not just survive.
You don’t have to go through the motions and work so hard just to stay afloat! You can switch off the autopilot and start living, doing and being intentional, showing up your best most present and purposeful self. The first step is to pause, and reconnect with yourself, your why and the power inside of you to live a soul-aligned, empowered and purposeful life. I am here to support you!
