Do you ever try so hard to get it right - only to feel like it’s never enough?

Do you look outside yourself for answers, believing that others know better than you - even though you’re smart and capable?

In this deeply personal episode of Heal Your Trauma, Find Your Voice, trauma-informed executive coach Dr. Annie Campanile shares the story of an emotional breakdown that became a professional breakthrough.

What started as a moment of overwhelm while folding laundry became a wake-up call to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with her true self.

You’ll learn:

• The unexpected metaphor that helped Dr. Annie reconnect with herself (hint: it involves slime!)
• Why self-doubt and burnout might be signs you’re ignoring your own wisdom
• How over-consumption of advice and strategy can slow your progress
• A behind-the-scenes decision to slow down production of this podcast
• A loving reminder that real leadership starts with how you care for you

Whether you lead a team or simply lead yourself, this episode will speak to your heart if you’ve been striving, pushing yourself, and feeling like something's got to give.
