• 228: Why you feel heavy & frustrated in a job you love. (Burnout, nervous system + emotions)
    Aug 22 2025

    Sometimes we think it’s our boss… when actually it’s our own self-doubt or conditioning speaking.

    Sometimes we think it’s just us… when really the culture we’re in is unsustainable.

    And meanwhile, the larger systems keep draining energy in ways no amount of “self-care” can solve.

    When it comes to burnout, the question isn’t just:

    • How do I make sure I’m doing something I love?
    • How do I manage my stress?

    It’s: Which weight am I carrying? Is it the system, the culture, or yourself?

  • 227: Is It Really Burnout? Decoding ADHD, Trauma, Nervous System Sensitivity & Recovery
    Aug 15 2025

    How do you know if you’re burnt out — or if it’s ADHD, sensitivity, or trauma?

    The signs can overlap. The fixes? Completely different.

    When you follow advice that wasn’t made for your wiring, it can make burnout worse — not better.

    After years working with ADHD, HSPs, and women in trauma recovery, I’ve learned there’s a nervous system “pattern” behind each type of burnout.

    Once you know yours, you can stop forcing fixes that don’t work and start supporting yourself in a way made for you.

    I break down the 4 main types here — so you can start making changes that actually help.

  • 226: Why leadership advice triggers burnout + how human design with nervous system awareness = recovery
    Aug 12 2025

    For some of us, surface-level strategies land like empty calories. They might be useful in theory, but if they don’t meet the depth of our lived experience, our body knows instantly:

    “This isn’t it.”

    That depth isn’t a flaw or a barrier. It’s your natural intelligence. It’s the well you draw from when you’re at your best… the place where real insight, courage, and sustainable change are born.

    The problem is, most leadership advice is built for speed and output, not for people whose strength lies in discernment.

    And when you try to lead from a model that ignores your depth, you’re forced into one of two burnout patterns:

    • Absorbing urgency and pressure that isn’t yours
    • Rejecting potentially useful ideas just to protect yourself from overwhelm

    Explore this by hitting play.

  • 225: Journaled, did therapy & still 'off'? Could burnout be a nervous system signal you're missing?
    Aug 3 2025

    We’ll unpack:

    • Why your nervous system might be blocking the clarity you’ve worked so hard for

    • The deeper question your career fog is really asking — that no mentor or quiz can answer

    • The beliefs silently keeping you in roles and rhythms that don’t fit (even when you “should” be grateful)

    You’ll also hear my personal story of moving home, publishing a book, and still feeling lost — and what finally helped me come back into alignment without burning everything down.

    If you’ve ever said, “I feel like I’m meant for something more… but I don’t know what,” this one’s for you.

  • 224: What if burnout isn’t about work, but what Mom & Dad taught your nervous system?
    Jul 21 2025

    What if burnout is more about your Mum & Dad, than your workload or type?

    In this episode, we explore:

    • The overlooked link between your early experiences of responsibility and your current work patterns — especially burnout, over-functioning, and decision paralysis.

    • How common parenting styles shape your nervous system’s relationship to responsibility and leadership.

    • Why your body might freeze, collapse, or push harder when you’re trying to make your next big move — and why that’s not a mindset problem, it’s a somatic pattern.


    You’ll learn:

    • A breakdown of the 4 parenting styles (Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive, Neglectful) and how each one shows up in your work habits today.

    • The Polyvagal Theory lens on how your system learned to either brace, bypass, numb out, or stay steady with responsibility.

    • How to notice when you’re being authoritarian, permissive, or neglectful with yourself — especially when making decisions, leading a team, or running your business.

    • What it means to become authoritative with yourself — holding standards with warmth, ambition with boundaries — so you can build capacity, not just force productivity.

    Next Listen: 199: When Burnout Isn’t Just Stress: VAs, OBMs, Your Nervous System, Delegation, Capacity & ControlFurther Reading & Sources

    *This framework draws on established research and therapeutic models, including Baumrind’s foundational work on parenting styles (1967, 1971), Maccoby & Martin’s expansion of that typology (1983), and Steinberg’s studies on the outcomes of authoritative parenting (1992). It’s also informed by Polyvagal Theory (Stephen Porges), The Body Keeps the Score (Bessel van der Kolk), Focusing (Eugene Gendlin), Hold Me Tight (Sue Johnson on adult attachment), and Trauma and the Body (Pat Ogden on sensorimotor psychotherapy).
