You’re not just an anxious person. You’re someone who’s been stuck in fight-or-flight, chasing perfection, people-pleasing, and hiding your truth behind a smile.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Lopez—a former NASA psychologist turned healing coach—who helps women stop the cycle of emotional suppression and finally reclaim their peace.

If you’re tired of living for validation, avoiding mistakes like they’re landmines, or letting fear be the driver of your decisions… this one will shake your soul (in the best way).

💥 We dive into:

• Why anxiety is often a mask for deeper emotions

• What your perfectionism is really protecting you from

• The power of self-accountability (and why most people never learn it)

• How to stop letting fear run your life—and start taking your power back

Dr. Steph doesn’t just talk mindset—she lives it. And she’s got the tools to help you do the same.

🎧 Whether you're a high-achieving mom, entrepreneur, or woman on the edge of her next breakthrough… this convo is your permission slip to be brave, messy, and FREE.

🔥 Let this be the sign you’ve been waiting for.

👉 Hit play, take notes, and then share this with the strongest woman you know (even if she doesn’t feel strong right now).

Hey there, beautiful Sunseeker! 🌞 We know you’re busy—juggling all the things: motherhood, work, relationships, and everything in between. Life in Viera, FL, keeps moving fast, and sometimes it’s easy to forget about you in the process. But here’s the thing—you matter. And in this episode, we’re talking all about something that impacts every part of your life: strength. Not just the physical kind (though we’re all for feeling strong and capable), but that deep-down strength that comes from loving yourself, even on the hard days. The kind of strength that shows up when you have no choice but to keep going—because you know your little ones are watching. ✨ Have you ever wondered: What does real strength even look like when life feels overwhelming? How do you keep showing up when the world tells you to do more, be more? Can movement actually help when your mind feels heavy? We're sharing personal stories—those raw, real moments when movement helped us find hope and healing. From running around baseball fields during tough times to lifting heavy weights that remind us we’re capable of more than we think. We’re talking about building strength that lasts—strength rooted in self-love, not external validation. 💬 We want to hear from YOU: What makes you feel strong? Have you had a moment where movement pulled you through a tough time? How are you choosing self-love today, even when it feels hard? Slide into our DMs @thesunnepodcast on Instagram.

In a world that constantly demands motion, how do we embrace stillness without feeling like we’re falling behind?

In this episode of The Sunne Podcast, we explore the balance between movement and stillness—why both are essential and how we can create space for stillness in our busy lives. Cass shares how her morning meditations set the tone for her day, while Mer reflects on the deep presence she finds in yoga and journaling. We also dive into how lifting weights can be its own form of mindfulness, how small rituals create inner peace, and why stillness isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about being fully present.

We’re also challenging you, Sunseeker: Where can you find stillness this week? Whether it’s sipping your coffee outside, taking a deep breath in the midst of chaos, or turning a simple moment into something intentional, let’s create space for stillness together.

Tune in now and let’s rediscover the power of slowing down.
