Is it possible to be driven and ambitious while still being gentle with ourselves?

Today?s guest is Dr. Danielle De La Mare, a former tenured professor who found herself stuck in a cycle of burnout and overwork. She was confused, frustrated, and burned out about the future of her career: her imposter feelings--including shame and fear--drove her to intense levels of over-working & often debilitating anxiety.

Today, as a career wellness coach, Danielle helps those who are stuck in that old familiar cycle of burnout start healing so they can define their goals, make a plan to work towards it, and be gentle with themselves along the way.

Here?s what you?ll learn in this episode:

How to pave a self-compassionate career path that honors both personal/professional desires & needsHow to tell the difference between desires & ?shoulds?How to digest difficult emotions so your career/life path doesn't get "fogged up" 

?I see self-compassion as welcoming everything: all of your emotions, desires. Everything gets to be there. It?s welcoming yourself fully and holding yourself.? ? Danielle De La Mare

It?s not just about mindset shifts or deep breathing; it's about understanding that the body keeps the score. Real, lasting healing starts when we work with our body, not just our mind.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why anxiety stems from unresolved alarm stored in your body, not just your thoughts.What trauma really means?and why it?s not just about big, life-altering events.How inner child work can be a powerful tool for healing anxiety by addressing emotional wounds from your past.

Do you ever feel like you?re running on autopilot, stuck in a cycle of stress, overwhelm, and burnout? 

Your nervous system is the control center for everything you experience in your body?whether you feel calm or on edge, how you react to stress, and even how you connect with others. 

But here?s the catch: your nervous system doesn?t just control how you feel, think, and act; it?s also influenced by your daily habits and routines.  Some of your habits might be great for your nervous system and others, not so much.

In today?s episode, we?ll dive into the everyday habits that either soothe or stress your nervous system. You?ll learn how even small, unconscious actions can push you into a state of chronic dysregulation and what you can do to reset.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How your nervous system controls your reactions to stress, calm, and connection.5 sneaky habits might be dysregulating your system and causing you chronic stressActionable tips to shift your habits and help your nervous system find balance

Today?s [rewind] is a throwback to episode 185 helping you identify 3 reasons why you might have high-functioning anxiety.

The thing with high-functioning anxiety is that it?s not always easy to detect.  We seem to be functioning well in our day-to-day lives, but under the surface we feel edgy, stressed, and overwhelmed. 

It?s that sense that there?s not enough time and we?re running behind. We feel tired, but wired.  Our body is telling us to slow down, but our brain is convincing us we can push harder.  I?ve been there, and I know how exhausting it is to live with anxiety.

In today?s episode, we explore 3 of the most common roots of high-functioning anxiety, and I coach you through ways you can start the healing process and help your body move out of an anxious state and return to regulation.

What is your first reaction when you think about money?

If anxiety or shame arises when it comes to managing your cash, you?re not alone (wait ?til you hear about my panic-attack moment the first time I met with a new financial advisor).

Or maybe you feel under-educated or in over your head when it comes to making important financial decisions. 

My guest today is Meghan Dwyer, a Certified Financial Planner and host of the ?Money Isn?t Scary? podcast where she helps women take an active role in their money management. 

Society has fed us the narrative that women aren?t competent with money and perpetuates that claim by making a joke out of it on social media (can we stop with the IG Reels about women hiding Amazon boxes from their husbands?).

Meghan aims to empower women to make money decisions out of a sense of abundance and confidence, rather than scarcity and fear. 

3 things you?ll learn in this episode:

How societal messages disempower women to take a front seat when it comes to their finances.The biggest areas where women play small with their money (knowledge, earning, spending, negotiation)Why you feel like you can?t trust yourself with money and what to do about it

Being a mom is hard. Can we just say that without being chastised for complaining? 

Raising kids, managing a household, pursuing work-life balance ? it?s a lot.  So if it feels like a lot - it?s not that you?re not cut out for this - it?s just a lot.

We juggle busy schedules, often neglect our needs, and don?t have the tools to regulate our nervous system.  So it?s no wonder that more moms are experiencing burnout than ever.

In today?s episode, you?ll learn 5 signs of mom burnout and a simple approach to start the healing journey.  You don?t have to overhaul your life all at once, but there are effective changes you can make today that'll make a difference in how you feel.

Have you ever wondered if you?re actually chill or if you?re just really good at suppressing your emotions?

Before doing this work, I never thought of myself as an ?emotional? person ? I didn?t cry at movies, I didn?t lose my temper ?but I was completely unaware of the emotional storm brewing beneath my cool exterior.

We?ve all been conditioned with implicit messages that certain emotions are unacceptable or weak (especially us women).  As a result, we can start to unconsciously suppress our own emotions.

The thing is, no matter who you are, patterns of emotional suppression will have a huge impact on your overall well-being (mental + physical).

Today?s [rewind] is a throwback to episode 75  all about how to create real and lasting change.

In order to actually create new thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions, we must access our somatic intelligence.  Somatic = relating to the body.

It?s one thing to conceptually understand how you want to show up in your life, but it?s a whole other ballgame to actually do it in light of the patterning of your nervous system.

Change and growth that?s focused only on the mind, i.e., cognitive learning, will only get you so far because you?re leaving out the rest of your body from the neck down.

Listen to this episode to learn about training our body to show up more powerfully for life ? to have more capacity to hold all that life continues to throw at us.

Think back to the last time you felt triggered - whether it was an eye roll from your kiddo, a rude comment from a neighbor, or being stuck in rush-hour traffic - being triggered activates our nervous system?s fight, flight, or freeze responses. 

But here?s the catch, when we?re triggered, we can?t just tell ourselves to calm down. We have to communicate safety in a way our nervous system understands.

In today?s episode, you?ll learn effective body-based tools to help communicate safety to your nervous system and bring yourself back into a state of balance. 

Learn how these practices can help discharge stress hormones, enhance sensory awareness, and promote emotional regulation.

Toxic parenting is so much more than a buzzphrase. It?s real, emotional trauma that we can carry into adulthood. 

As adults, setting boundaries with our childhood caregivers and ?reparenting? ourselves is often the key to standing in the gap as a cycle breaker and raising our children differently than how we were raised.

In today?s episode, Cari Fund, a passionate women?s advocate and author, joins me to talk about her journey of navigating estrangement from her mother, learning how to reparent herself, and teaching us how to change the narrative and environment in our homes.

3 things you?ll learn:

How to break the cycle of toxic parentingPractical ideas to start reparenting yourselfHow to create a legacy of love and empowerment for your children
