Are you tired of being tired—but still feel like slowing down means letting people down?

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the quiet belief so many women carry: “If I can just push through, everything will be okay.” But what if that belief is the very thing keeping you from the energy, joy, and connection you crave?

Misty shares the vulnerable story of her own burnout—and the moment her daughter said something that changed everything. Together, we’ll uncover why the “Push Through” mentality isn’t strength—it’s survival. And more importantly, you’ll walk away with a powerful new framework for Sustainable Vitality that’s rooted in your worth, not your willpower.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever:

• Said “I’m fine” when you’re anything but
• Felt guilty for resting
• Skipped your own doctor’s appointments but made everyone else’s
• Secretly feared what would happen if you stopped being the one who “holds it all together”
