In this episode, I’m inviting you into one of the most important conversations we can have as high-achieving women: how to stop living from the chin up—stuck in our thoughts, analysis, and overthinking—and finally reconnect with the incredible wisdom of our bodies.

For years, I lived purely in my mind. I pushed through exhaustion. I made decisions that looked good on paper but felt wrong in my gut. I ignored every signal my body was trying to send me—until burnout, poor decisions, and emotional reactivity woke me up.

What I didn’t know then is what I teach now:
Mindset isn’t enough.
Not if your nervous system is dysregulated.
Not if your body is exhausted.
Not if your intuition has been silenced for years.

In today’s episode, I walk you through why so many high-achieving women are disconnected from their bodies—and how that disconnection fuels overthinking, indecision, burnout, people-pleasing, and constant self-doubt.

You’ll learn:

• Why your nervous system—not your thoughts—drives your confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience
• How early conditioning and hustle culture train you to override your body signals
• The hidden costs of living in your head (emotionally, physically, professionally, and financially)
• Why “just think positive” doesn’t work—and never will
• The biological science behind intuition, clarity, and embodied leadership
• A simple 3-step process to reconnect with your body today (even if you’ve been disconnected for decades)

I also share personal stories—from ignoring my intuition in corporate hiring to burning out so badly I quit my job to becoming a yoga teacher—so you can see exactly how body disconnection shows up in real life… and what becomes possible when you finally come home to yourself.

If you’re tired of overthinking, pushing through fatigue, second-guessing yourself, and feeling disconnected from what you truly want—this episode is going to feel like a reset button.

By the end, you’ll walk away with more calm, more clarity, and a renewed sense of trust in yourself—mind, heart, and body.
