#172 - Stress, Self-Sabotage & the Real Reason You’re Stuck—Let's Fix It. Interview with Sherry Lukey

Ever feel like you’ve read all the self-help books, tried the green juices, whispered a few affirmations into your collagen water—and still hit the same wall?
Yeah, same. That’s where this episode comes in.
This week, I’m joined by Sherry Lukey—globally recognized executive coach, speaker, and the kind of human who can help you stop sabotaging your own progress (even if you're high-functioning, high-achieving, and hiding your stress under 17 open browser tabs).
We dive into her Tap Into Power™ Framework, the science-backed toolset that combines EFT (a.k.a. tapping) with real trauma reprocessing—no crystals or vague advice required.
If you’ve ever:
Felt like you're doing all the right things but still hitting a ceiling
Wondered why you keep defaulting to self-sabotage just when things are going well
Or just want to know why your nervous system freaks out when your Slack notification pings...
...this one’s for you.
Inside this episode:
✨ The truth about subconscious beliefs—and why most of yours were formed before age 7
✨ What EFT (tapping) actually does to your brain and body
✨ How unresolved emotional patterns impact chronic illness, weight loss, career growth & relationships
✨ Why high-achievers tend to burn out—and what to do about it
✨ And how reprogramming your stress response might be the most anti-aging move you make all year
Oh—and I also share the surprising moment I used tapping on my hyperactive Labrador. (Get this: it worked.)
This one is equal parts science, mindset, and “Wait, how has no one told me this before?”
🧠💥 You don’t want to miss it.
