  • 235. From News Anchor to Nervous System Guide: My Story of Burnout + Healing
    May 6 2026

    In this episode, I’m sharing my personal story. From being a high-performing news anchor… to burnout, anxiety, and realizing something deeper needed to change. Because what looked like success on the outside didn’t match how my body actually felt.

    What you’ll learn:

    • How burnout showed up in my life (even when things looked “fine”)
    • The moment I realized mindset work wasn’t enough
    • What shifted when I started working with my nervous system

    When you're ready to stop spiraling and actually feel steady in your body again, Sacred Reset is your next step. Start your journey at the link below.

    If this episode felt like I was reading your mind… this is where you start.

    1. 🌀 Stop spiraling & finally feel like yourself again

    If this conversation hit a little too close to home…
    If you’re sitting there thinking, “holy shit, this is exactly what’s been happening to me…”

    I created something for you.

    Back to You is my 3-day nervous system reset for high-functioning women who are exhausted from spiraling, snapping, shutting down, overthinking, and turning on themselves every time life gets hard.

    Inside, I’ll help you:

    • understand WHY this keeps happening
    • stop the spiral in real time
    • and start feeling grounded, steady, safe, and connected to yourself again

    If you’re used to being the strong one… the capable one… the one who handles everything… then this episode will help you understand why receiving support can feel so uncomfortable.

    • Why your nervous system resists support (even when you want it)
    • The connection between hyper-independence and survival patterns
    • How this pattern keeps you stuck in exhaustion
