High-achieving. Burned out, but still going. Still not feeling like it’s enough? Let’s talk.

What happens when you’re doing all the right things but still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or just plain exhausted?

In this raw, unscripted episode, we’re diving into the paradox so many high-functioning, high performing, perfectionist women face: doing everything right, but not getting the results or the feelings you actually want.

Here’s the thing-perfectionism isn’t really about wanting everything to be flawless. It’s about caring deeply. You see potential everywhere. You want to lead, to create, to do things well. You tangibly see and feel the gap. You see where things can be better. You know how to read the room and are often the one shifting and holding these rooms. And those qualities? They’ve made you unstoppable. But they’ve also made it really hard to slow down. You know how to do it all, but you don't know how to slow down without burning it down. So you just keep going like the energizer bunny. Life says jump and you say how high, never no or not right now.

When perfectionism goes unchecked, it locks you in fight-or-flight, hyper-fixated on what’s wrong, running on empty but still pushing through. Perfectionism is just really fancy shame. It looks good and leaves you feeling like crap. The truth? You can pour from an empty cup. Many high-functioning women have been doing it for years. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Why perfectionism isn’t something to “fix” but a relationship to heal
• How ambition can coexist with rest, joy, and ease
• The real reason you keep feeling burned out (even when you’re doing everything “right”)
• The power of nervous system regulation and community care for high-achieving women

👉 This isn’t about lowering your standards-it’s about raising your regulation, your support, and your self-trust.

You matter. Your life matters. Not just the things you do.

Ever notice rage in your jaw before it reaches your thoughts? That’s your body giving you flags long before your mindset can “think positive.” In Episode 2 of our Somatic Series, Becca unpacks why nervous-system regulation isn’t about staying zen 24/7; it’s about riding the full emotional wave without getting wiped out.

You’ll learn to:

• Pinpoint the exact sensations—heat, buzzing, pressure—that signal an oncoming outburst through Somatic Sensation Tracking
• Use “orienting” to pull your nervous system back to here & now, instead of reliving old scripts giving you more presence
• Convert surging energy into boundary-setting power rather than bottled-up yelling from being in a glass case of emotions

Forget forcing calm. We don't need to sweep our dynamic humanity under a rug of good and grateful. True nervous system regulation means expanding your Window of Connection and capacity so you can meet a toddler tantrum, an inbox explosion, or a partner clash with presence and potency.

Ever feel like you've mastered the art of looking like you have it all together while secretly feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like something's fundamentally "off"? You've done the mindset work, read the books, practiced the affirmations- yet that persistent gap between knowing what to do and actually feeling better remains.

In this episode, we dive into why conventional personal development, therapy, and coaching keeps us stuck in our heads when the real transformation happens in our bodies. I'll share why somatic healing isn't just another wellness trend—it's a return to ancient wisdom that recognizes we're not just brains with bodies, but bodies with brains.

You'll discover:

• Why that "duck experience" of looking calm while frantically paddling underneath is so exhausting
• How we've been taught to control our bodies instead of being in relationship with them
• Why overthinking is often a sign of underfeeling
• The difference between "shelfspiration" and embodied transformation that actually changes how life feels
• What somatic healing is and why it is so powerful especially for women with a solid foundation who are over functioning

If you're a high-functioning person who's tired of going through the motions and ready to access the 80% of your intelligence that lives beyond conscious thought, this episode is your invitation to explore what's possible when we move beyond mindset into embodied wisdom.
