    The High Performer's Guide to Letting Go of Control with Carly Bolin | EP 62
    Dec 4 2025

    In this episode, I sit down with Carly Bolin to talk about what it's really like to live in fight or flight without realizing it. 2025 became the hardest year of her life after her stepson's cancer diagnosis, and it forced her to see how long she'd been operating on empty, both at work and at home. Together, we unpack the quiet signs of burnout, the urge to control everything, and the moment tiny shifts (like finally making the bed again) showed her nervous system was healing. Carly shares how she learned to slow down, ask for help, receive support, and rebuild a life where she can be present with her family and still thrive professionally.



    ________________________________

    Key Takeaways
    • Burnout often shows up in subtle habits long before you realize you're in survival mode.
    • Healing your nervous system starts with small shifts in capacity, not big dramatic changes.
    • Asking for help and letting others support you is a nervous system skill…not a weakness.


    ________________________________

    Episode Highlights: burnout, fight or flight, high performers, nervous system healing, learning to ask for help, delegation, control patterns, feminine vs masculine energy, slowing down, capacity, presence, family stress, caregiving, leadership, emotional resilience

  • If You Want to End 2025 in Peace, Start Here | EP 60

    If You Want to End 2025 in Peace, Start Here | EP 60
    Nov 20 2025

    In this episode, I walk you through the exact year-end exercise I recently did with my clients to help them stop spiraling into Q4 chaos and actually land the year feeling grounded. I talk about why so many high performers wait until December to "deal with" their inner world, only to get swallowed by work targets, holiday demands, and family expectations and how that usually ends with you being the one left behind.

    By the end, you'll have a simple, doable framework to regulate before and after hard tasks, protect your inner peace, and close out 2025 in alignment instead of burnout.

    ________________________________

    Key Takeaways
    • When you don't consciously plan your inner year-end, work targets and holidays take overand you get left behind.
    • The root cause of your chaos is rarely the external situation; it's usually patterns like people pleasing, poor prioritization, or loose boundaries.
    • Regulating your nervous system before and after hard tasks teaches your body it's safe to do brave things without burning you out.
