Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio! In Phase 2 of our deep-dive series, I’m guiding you back to yourself. We’re unpacking how to stop seeing your body as a problem to fix and start recognizing it as your most powerful partner.

If you haven't listened to the last two episodes (especially the one on regulating your nervous system), hit pause and go do that first. It'll all click better, promise.

Feel like your body’s a battleground instead of a best friend? This episode is your invitation to shift that energy — and finally reconnect.

This isn’t your typical “health and fitness” talk. We’re getting real about how your thoughts impact your goals, how to stop giving your power away, and how to start trusting yourself again. It might feel a little “woo,” but it’s the stuff that actually shifts things.

Let’s get into it!

Ever feel like you're doing everything — crushing goals, showing up for everyone, checking all the boxes — but still feel disconnected, drained, or low-key resentful? Yeah, same. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we’re talking about the kind of burnout that doesn’t look like burnout. It's the quiet kind that shows up in women who are "functioning" but lowkey falling apart on the inside.

I’m unpacking common thoughts and beliefs high-performing women carry that slowly sabotage their health, happiness, and progress — especially after 40. Things like:
“I’m too busy.”
“If I slow down, I’ll fall behind.”
“If I’m not doing, I’m failing.”
Sound familiar?

We’ll talk about why this happens, how it’s tied to stress, hustle culture, and outdated narratives — and how to start actually regulating your nervous system so you can feel good in your body again. No BS. Just real talk, some personal stories, and practical ways to start reconnecting with yourself!

Oh, and if you missed last week’s episode — “7 Exercises to Lose Weight That Have Nothing to Do with the Gym” — definitely hit that one first for some helpful context.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

00:00 Kicking things off + why you should catch the last episode first

00:26 What burnout really looks like (even if you're still getting stuff done)

01:04 Those sneaky thoughts messing with your progress

02:18 Real talk: my story + what I hear from clients all the time

03:12 Why it's time to stop controlling your body and start feeling it

04:39 Stress is wrecking your vibe (and your results)

06:10 You can’t build a new life if you're stuck in survival mode

06:47 How I started taking my power back (and how you can too)

07:08 Are you doing too much? Let’s call it what it is

07:42 Newsflash: Rest is productive. You’re allowed to chill and celebrate

This episode is raw, real, and a little bit rebellious. I’m talking about seven things that can actually help you lose weight and feel better — and none of them involve counting macros, hitting the gym, or following a strict meal plan.

If you’re burned out, stuck, or constantly putting everyone else first (especially my high-performing moms and women out there), this is for you. I’m sharing the deeper work — the real stuff that’s helped my clients (and me) break through years of frustration. We’re talking therapy, mindset shifts, emotional blocks, and why self-care is so much more than bubble baths and green juice.

So grab your coffee, take a walk, or sit with me for a heart-to-heart. Let’s talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface — and how to start shifting it today!

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the difference between health insurance and true health planning. Let’s talk about how health insurance is great for those “oh no!” moments but doesn’t really cover your everyday health maintenance. I’m sharing some real talk on how a more preventative approach—like functional and integrative medicine—can actually give you the tools to avoid future health problems before they even start. If you’re ready to think differently about your health, this one's for you! Grab a seat and let's chat!
