  • Daily Power Lesson #19: Why You Struggle with Boundaries: Start by Reclaiming Your Needs
    Jul 22 2025

    Send us a text

    You take care of everyone else.
    You ignore your own needs.
    You feel tired, drained, and sometimes resentful.

    That’s not just overgiving. That’s a boundary issue.

    But before you can set healthy boundaries with others, you have to reconnect with yourself.

    You have to know your needs—what makes you feel safe, alive, and well.

    Because ignoring your needs doesn’t make you strong. It makes you run on empty.

    What’s one small need you’ve been ignoring that deserves your attention today?

    DM me “NEEDS” if you’re ready to break free from burnout and start honoring yourself without guilt.

  • 45: Tired Of Leading From Stress? Regulate Your Nervous System to Lead with Calm Confidence
    Jul 22 2025

    Send us a text

    Are you constantly putting out fires, pushing through exhaustion, or feeling stuck in overthinking? If so, you might be leading from stress without even realizing it.

    In this episode, I walk you through the four nervous system states that shape your leadership style: the Firefighter, the Ghost Leader, the Deer in Headlights, and the Grounded Leader. You'll learn how to recognize which state you're leading from—and why it has everything to do with your nervous system, not your personality.

    I also share my personal journey of leading like a firefighter for most of my 20-year corporate career—until everything shifted when I learned how to regulate my nervous system.

    You'll walk away with:

    • A powerful self-assessment to uncover your current leadership state
    • A clear understanding of how stress hijacks your leadership (and what to do instead)
    • Three science-backed tools—breath, sound, and movement—to shift into grounded confidence

    If you’re ready to stop leading from survival and start leading with presence, calm, and clarity—this episode is for you.

  • Daily Power Lesson #18: Always Busy but Never Rested? Meet the Doer Part Driving Your Burnout
    Jul 18 2025

    Send us a text

    If your to-do list never ends.

    If slowing down makes you anxious.

    If you feel guilty when you rest.

    It’s not just ambition.

    It’s a protector part trying to keep you safe.

    At some point, your nervous system learned:
    Rest equals danger
    Doing equals love, praise, or escape

    But now that pattern is draining your energy, clarity, and creativity.
    And it’s keeping you stuck in survival mode.

    What shifts when you stop running and start resting from a place of safety?

    DM me “REST” if you’re ready to break free from burnout and reclaim calm, clarity, and control.
