I did everything right....The nervous system work, the somatic healing, the diet, the pace. And I still got unwell. This episode is me figuring out why.

If you've spent any time in wellness or personal development, you know the story. Your physical symptoms are connected to unhealed emotional trauma. Your body is keeping score. Do the work, and the body follows.

I believed that. I taught it. And somewhere along the way, it quietly became a very sophisticated form of self-blame.

What shifted things for me was a piece of research from 1967. A psychologist named Hans Eysenck proposed something called the structural weakness model, and it reframes the whole picture. Instead of a straight line from emotional wound to physical symptom, he placed a third variable above both: your underlying biological structure. Shaped by genetics and early environment, it branches in two directions at once. Your emotional sensitivity is one branch. Your physical vulnerability is the other. They're not causing each other. They share a root.

For me, that means my adenomyosis and my sensitivity aren't a sign that I haven't healed enough. My body just processes the world more intensely. That's my baseline. And my life needs to be designed around that, not in spite of it.

• Why the "issues are in your tissues" framework can become its own kind of hypervigilance, and what to reach for instead
• What Eysenck's structural weakness model actually says about the relationship between emotional sensitivity and physical illness
• How understanding your biological baseline changes the goal of somatic healing entirely

• The 5-week Energy Management Program: Work Doesn’t Have to Cost All Your Energy

This podcast explores the intersection of sales, money, and business success, offering entrepreneurial insights on overcoming the inner critic, burnout, and the unique challenges of ADHD and autoimmune conditions, while integrating polyvagal theory, Ayurveda, coaching, resilience, regulation, and trauma healing to support holistic growth and thriving in both life and business.

The wellness industry and self-help culture have created a cycle where people “heal and regulate” endlessly, making them fragile and stuck in internal excavation of wounds, attachment, nervous systems, and beliefs while deprioritizing outward building, contributing, and showing up in the world.

This self-examination loop can worsen wellbeing because humans are wired for belonging, being needed, competence, making things, and community—needs that can’t be met by thinking alone but by going outward. Regulation is as access to choice: choosing how to show up and contribute even when not feeling great.

Burnout is often a timing problem rather than a workload problem, because cognitive capacity fluctuates across the day, week, month, and (especially for women) across hormonal cycles.

Sustainable productivity comes from learning your predictable high- and low-capacity windows (chronotypes) and matching task type to those rhythms: schedule heavy strategy and complex thinking when capacity is high, and do lighter administrative or relational work when energy drops, instead of forcing consistency.

Sheridan shares her own pattern of concentrating on demanding work early in the week to prevent burnout and make time off easier, and invites listeners to notice what feels doable and collaborate with others to create an ideal schedule. Examples include “Jack,” who protects 4–6 PM for deep work, and “Sally,” a rotating-shift nurse who uses micro-regulation and somatic practices between tasks to reduce cognitive depletion.

Key points:

1. The difference between consistent, predictable, and growing income (most of us mean predictable).
2. What your body thinks money will finally provide: safety, worth, permission, relief.
3. Why sustainable success is rhythmic: grow, stabilise, grow — and why your worth can’t be measured by revenue.

“I just need to pivot my life and my burnout will heal.”

Ever thought that?

I did… I pivoted and left a job in commercial mortgage brokering so that I could teach yoga. Burnout. Then I went to 1:1 work for OCD & Relationships. Burnout. Then I optimised my wellness. Burnout. Then my business model… Burnout.

This week on the podcast, I started busting 4 common myths about success that cause burnout. I’m joined by Hannah who is one of the only somatic nervous system coaching I can currently stand in the online space :)

We cover:

Why burnout often follows you if the pattern comes with you (scarcity, people-pleasing, fear, over-responsibility).

The “fight, flight, freeze… and pivot” loop that shapes big decisions.

A pre-pivot question: What might follow me into this next chapter that I want to shift now?

Are you the family mediator, emotional manager, and conflict preventer? This could be an invisible workload the nervous system learned to carry for safety. Tracking group emotions and “keeping the peace” can become a childhood strategy to get needs met, and suggests building body attunement by noticing tension around certain people and asking: what am I holding responsibility for? Is it mine to hold today? And what is my responsibility instead?

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a simple task and wondering why your body won’t move even though your mind understands exactly what needs to be done, this is for you, because that moment is rarely about motivation and much more often about a nervous system that has quietly reached capacity. This episode explores why simple tasks can trigger a freeze response, how to distinguish between overload and threat responses, and introduces a practical two-minute practice to retrain your system. Sheridan, a somatic trauma therapist and yoga therapist, shares insights on managing nervous system responses through somatic practices and behavioral psychology, tailored for those dealing with work, money, and burnout.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or unable to manage tasks that you think you should handle by now, this is for you. This episode delves into nervous system capacity—how much your system can handle before it leads to anxiety or burnout. Sheridan, a somatic trauma therapist and yoga therapist, explains the concept through practical advice and actionable strategies.

Key takeaways include:

1. understanding the impact of body-based sensations
2. the importance of co-regulation through social connections
3. recognizing the influence of societal factors on personal capacity.

In this episode, we explore why work can feel disproportionately exhausting — even when you enjoy it and are “doing everything right.”

You’ll hear about:

• Why end-of-day exhaustion isn’t always a motivation or discipline problem
• How constant adaptation to mismatched environments quietly drains nervous system capacity
• The difference between healthy effort and chronic over-exertion
• A simple nervous-system-based energy audit you can start today
• How to track energy drain through body sensations rather than stories or self-criticism
• What decision fatigue, overthinking, and post-work collapse are actually signalling
• When exhaustion points to deeper patterns like freeze, trauma history, or family roles
• Why some patterns don’t shift through insight alone — and what support can help
• How to redesign work without blowing up your life

Mentioned in this episode:

• The 5-week Energy Management Program: Work Doesn’t Have to Cost All Your Energy
• One-on-one somatic support for nervous-system-level patterns
• Developing interoception (your ability to sense and name internal body signals)

This is for people who:

• can focus deeply… sometimes too deeply
• struggle to stop once they’re “in it”
• feel physical resistance or distress when switching tasks
• suspect adhd, autism, or nervous system sensitivity
• are tired of productivity advice that ignores physiology

This episode is an excerpt from a recent teaching session many of my clients receive. If you're also like to receive in depth support that covers the topics of work, money, the nervous system and how to live in this crazy world as a sensitive human without burnout, you can click here to book a consultation call and learn about support.

I'll also have a new course "Work Doesn't Have To Cost All Your Energy" out soon for those of you who prefer structure and self-pacing. Stay turned.

In this episode

• Why your brain is never “off”: the default mode network (dmn) and task-focus network (they’re anti-correlated, so switching is real work for your system)
• The salience network as your internal switchboard: how stress load and sensory/emotional input make transitions feel abrupt or even threatening
• Using interoception as a bridge: noticing heart rate, breath, hunger, sensation to calm the switch instead of muscling through it
• 4 somatic practices to exit hyperfocus without fighting yourself or your loved ones :)

For years I believed burnout meant I was doing something wrong — not resilient enough, not organised enough, not disciplined enough. By 2018 I’d already survived a violent relationship, the suicide of an ex-partner, losing my hair to an autoimmune condition, a cPTSD diagnosis, and working myself into the ground running a nonprofit in Colombia.

From the outside, I looked capable and committed.

Inside, I was collapsing for days after every big effort.

I kept changing roles — yoga therapist, somatic trauma practitioner, relationship coach, Ayurvedic wellness coach — thinking, “Maybe the next job will finally feel better.”

But under all of it was the same pattern: a nervous system stuck in overfunctioning, constantly scanning for threat and trying to earn rest.

In this episode, I talk about:

• What overfunctioning actually feels like in the body
• How ISO 45003 describes the point where performance and emotional regulation start to fray
• The turning point in late 2022, when I realised I couldn’t hack or hustle my way into safety
• What changed when I began rebuilding from the inside out — my sleep, energy, creativity, and relationship with work

This isn’t just about me. It’s about how every time one person learns to work with their nervous system, it ripples into their team, workplace, and family.

With late-diagnosed adhd (and a lot of history with structure, authority, and power) my relationship with discipline has completely changed.

Instead of forcing myself into strict routines, I’ve been practicing discipline as devotion and rhythm. When you trace the word back, discipline shares roots with disciple—to be devoted. In this podcast episode I’m inviting you to notice what truly nourishes you, and practice the devotion to meet it consistently.

Predictable, gentle rhythms regulate the nervous system. They lower stress, soften cortisol spikes, and make emotional ups and downs easier to ride. For those of us with trauma in the mix, rhythm builds safety and self-trust. Over time, consistent devotional habits help your system trust you—and bring your power back.

In this episode, we explore:

• Rhythm over rigidity—what that looks like day to day
• How devotion creates safety for a sensitive system
• Small, steady practices that rebuild self-trust

Do any of these feel familiar?

• your calendar keeps changing—no rhythm to your days.
• the plan changes every week.
• you’re asked to deliver without a clear definition of success.
• your income swings from month to month.
• the algorithms keep changing and your strategy feels outdated by morning.
• you’re stuck on the content hamster wheel—publishing but never feeling done.
• launch dates won’t stick, and timelines keep slipping.
• there’s no real “definition of done,” so nothing ever feels complete.
• you’re at a career crossroads with no map for what’s next.

Today’s episode names this specific flavor of burnout (the kind you can function through) and explains why uncertainty (not just workload) quietly drains the nervous system. we’ll look at the physiology behind it, why classic resilience tools alone don’t resolve it, and the small, predictable cues that do: completion, clarity, recognition, rhythm, connection.

As much as I can literally feel my body longing to have a baby, I have so much to do first! So many adventures to have! 

But there are two things that are true:

1. Fertility does decline as we age. 
2. We have more power than we think to create juicy, fertile bodies ready to create babies and businesses! 
3. Protecting that creative energy and flow is not a passive action. It requires education, action, boundaries and integration.

It means you’ve got to get strong and start asking yourself the question “how do I protect what my body needs to feel nourished, fertile, and alive?” 

This is the topic of the podcast 235: Fertility over 35. What your nervous system wants you to know.

Inside the podcast we cover: 

• Stress vs. creation, how the HPA stress pathway quietly steals energy from the HPG reproductive pathway. (why feel tired but wired)
• Why boredom, boundaries, and oxytocin-rich moments (laughter, affection, pleasure) matter more than perfect habits when your body decides if it’s a season to create.
• What data really tells us. Fertility doesn’t “vanish” at 35, it shifts alongside health, environment, and energy, places where you have influence.
• Foundations that restore capacity aka the science of relaxation, being a “well-fed woman,” circulation, and the subtle practices that tell your system: you’re safe to receive.

A kitchen-bench breakdown over meatballs became the wake-up call: it wasn’t more hacks I needed... it was sleep. In this conversation with integrative health expert Lucy Gable, we unpack the foundations that actually move the needle: parasympathetic breaks, moderate movement, and balanced fuel. You’ll learn how to choose the smallest change that makes the biggest difference—and why protecting your sleep can turn fog into clarity, anxiety into steadiness, and “overdrive” into okay.

We cover:

• Micro-breaks that switch on calm (in minutes)

• Why moderate movement and calm breaths is more productive than pushing through

• Food as fuel (without rigidity)

• Essential sleep hygiene

Invitation: if you’re ready to explore your one smallest shift, book a free Curiosity Call. If you’re clear you want support now, you can also book a 90-Minute Somatic Clarity Session.

This desire to have control makes so much sense when we look at our past with trauma or our neurodivergence, or even just the insane world that we live in, and our body’s desire for certainty. But today, you’re going to learn the paradox of control—why trying to manage everything triggers burnout faster.

You ever have one of those moments where ChatGPT says something back to you and you think… wait, that’s exactly it?

Like it just named something you’ve been circling for weeks?

I have. My clients have. Sometimes I even give them a transcript of our coaching session and suggest they paste it in to see what themes GPT reflects back.

And it can be incredibly helpful. But here’s the thing:

ChatGPT can give you insight. It can’t give you integration.

And if we’re not careful, it can become another tool that mimics transformation without actually moving anything inside us.

In this episode you'll learn what it's great at, how to use it creatively, and what to leave for a coach or therapist.

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?

This podcast explores the intersection of sales, money, and business success, offering entrepreneurial insights on overcoming the inner critic, burnout, and the unique challenges of ADHD and autoimmune conditions, while integrating polyvagal theory, Ayurveda, coaching, resilience, regulation, and trauma healing to support holistic growth and thriving in both life and business.

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.

225: Journaled, did therapy & still 'off'? Nervous system capacity explained.

“I’m ready for something else... but I don’t know what that is.”

If that’s you — start with a 90-minute Somatic Clarity Intensive. We’ll find your next step, the one your body can actually follow through on.

Or if you’re tired of circling between “almost-ready” and “total doubt,” the 6-month Somatic Evolution journey helps you rebuild energy, boundaries, and clarity — so you stop second-guessing and start leading from your center.

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.

“I’m ready for something else... but I don’t know what that is.”

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.

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.

*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).

“I’m ready for something else... but I don’t know what that is.”

If that’s you — start with a 90-minute Somatic Clarity Intensive. We’ll find your next step, the one your body can actually follow through on.

Or if you’re tired of circling between “almost-ready” and “total doubt,” the 6-month Somatic Evolution journey helps you rebuild energy, boundaries, and clarity — so you stop second-guessing and start leading from your center.

You’re doing the workouts, tracking the meals, and still wondering—why does this feel so hard? Why does my body resist change, even when I’m doing “everything right”?

In this conversation with women’s fitness coach Megan Hardy, we unpack the emotional cost of pushing your body from a place of self-criticism. Whether you're postpartum, post-burnout, or just stuck in the cycle of “fixing” your body instead of befriending it, this episode explores what really shifts physical results—hint: it’s not just macros or reps, but the state your nervous system is in when you take action. We get honest about the mental load of being a Type A woman in a body that’s tired of being a project—and how to finally stop self-abandoning in the name of discipline.

• Understand how unspoken stress and subtle self-rejection can block your physical results
• Learn the nervous system patterns behind why some clients thrive—and others spiral—even on the same program
• Get real, embodied tools to shift out of cortisol-driven hustle and into sustainable strength, joy, and confidence

Are you secretly exhausted from doing it all—but still struggle to let go of control?

Whether you’re a founder, team lead, or solo operator, delegation can stir up more than just workflow stress. If you’ve experienced betrayal (whether in business, friendship, or childhood) your nervous system may have learned to associate asking for help with getting hurt. In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface.

In today’s episode learn: 

 – Why hyper-independence and over-control are often rooted in trauma, not personality

– How one client moved from chronic burnout to embodied delegation (and why it started with trust, not tools)

– A practical script to delegate clearly—without triggering old patterns of shame or mistrust

In 2018, I found myself frozen—standing under a running shower, dreading another day of trying to show up online while feeling completely invisible. I’d just mentally quit my business after another spiral of comparison and self-doubt. Every time I opened a blank Google Doc, my voice disappeared. On sales calls, my chest would tighten, and my brain fogged over. I felt broken.

But that day, I tried one thing: a breath practice I’d learned in my somatic trauma therapy training.

It didn’t fix everything.

But it helped me step out of the shower.

And that was enough to begin again.

In this short guided breath episode, you’ll learn:

– A simple practice to shift from foggy and frozen to grounded and clear

– Why nervous system regulation—not mindset—is the missing piece when you’re stuck in indecision or self-doubt

– How to use breath as a physiological reset that opens space for clarity, creativity, and confident action

Have you ever been told to “just get clear on your needs”... and felt even more confused?

Because when your nervous system is dysregulated, even that well-meaning advice can send you on a wild goose chase.

In this episode, we explore why identifying and meeting your needs can feel exhausting—especially when you’re in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.

You’ll learn why what feels like a need—rest, journaling, asking for something—is sometimes just an outdated survival mechanism.

✨ Inside, we’ll explore:

– How to tell the difference between your survival thoughts and your true needs

– The one self-dialogue question that unlocks the part of you trying to protect yourself

– A gentle reframe: “If I knew I was safe and loved, what would I do?”

I’ll walk you through real-life examples—like the part of me that thought I needed to initiate a difficult conversation, but what I actually needed… was to stop judging myself.

🤍 If you’ve been chasing strategies (another conversation, a perfectly worded email, a better to-do list)—this episode will help you pause, regulate, and come back to what’s real.

Bookkeeping or tax prep make you want to shut down, explode, or avoid it altogether?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the surprising intersection between your nervous system, the Drama Triangle, and your relationship to money. Whether you over-control your finances, avoid them completely, or oscillate between burnout and guilt (there’s likely a deeper emotional role you’ve unconsciously taken on. And it’s not just draining your energy) it’s shaping your entire relationship with responsibility, safety, and success.

• Learn how common business tasks like accounting, taxes, and admin trigger deeper survival responses in the nervous system
• Understand the hidden role you may be stuck in (Victim, Rescuer, or Persecutor) and how it plays out in your financial behavior
• Discover why nervous system regulation is the missing link between spiritual alignment, emotional resilience, and financial clarity

If you’ve ever opened your bank account with a pit in your stomach and thought,

“Maybe if I just get that next certification… then I’ll feel ready. Then the money will come.”

—this episode is for you.

I’ve been on both sides of this:

Investing in something I didn’t need from a place of fear...and regretting it.

And choosing further education against industry advice—and feeling deeply empowered by it.

Credentials don’t equal confidence and chasing them from a place of imposter syndrome can keep you stuck in a nervous system loop that burns you out and underpays you. 

The sad thing is that oftentimes, AI and personal development industries can unintentionally feed this disempowering loop. 

In this episode, I share:

• The 4 phases of the “This Will Save Me” trauma loop—and how to recognize when you’re in it
• 3 somatic cues to know if your desire for more education is coming from wisdom or wounding
• 3 reflection questions to help you decide whether to pursue more credentials—or focus on receiving more money and success with the ones you have.

Do you keep pushing through exhaustion, telling yourself "just one more thing"—while your body whispers (or screams) that something’s not right?

•

You’ve got the plan, the task list, and the desire - but you still can’t bring yourself to post, present, or speak up. Whether you’re freezing before a big meeting, ghosting your own marketing, or endlessly tweaking without hitting publish… the problem isn’t your productivity…. Or your mindset… Or your strategy…

In this episode, we break down how nervous system shutdown (not laziness or lack of discipline) is behind burnout, perfectionism, and the paralysis that keeps you from showing up. Whether you feel disconnected at work or drained by visibility, you’ll learn why pushing through isn’t working—and what to do instead.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

• The evidence-based study that explains why visibility triggers such intense internal resistance
• The 2 steps my client took to move from freeze to confidently speaking on stage, asking for a job, and sharing online without pretending
• How I’m using these same tools while running a business, expanding into corporate coaching, and studying psychology full time. Without collapsing into burnout

I can barely spend 3 minutes on IG without feeling tension in my chest these days.

But, when you’re a small business owner/practitioner/coach or looking at buildings with social media… How do you do it when you’d much rather be drinking tea in the sun with a friend?

I’ve contemplated this a lot, and been experimenting with clients.

We’ve used these 2 questions to keep building and growing without relying on social media, without even needing websites, and without feeling tension in our jaw and text neck all day.

Whether you’re starting a business or you've been in it for a decade… if you’re feeling exhausted by social media, and your body braces every time you think about posting, this episode is for you.

By the end, you’ll know: 

✨ The 2 exact things your  business (or future business) actually needs to grow (it’s not IG).

✨ How to choose marketing methods that feel nourishing to your nervous system—not draining.

✨ The simplest way to reach the right people—without relying on social media or forcing visibility.
