    21 | Why High-Achieving Women Struggle to Enjoy Their Success... and What Actually Changes That w/ Sam Johnson

    In this expansive episode, I sit down with Sam Johnson — trauma-trained somatic and attachment coach for multi six- and seven-figure entrepreneurial women — to unpack the hidden cost of “high performance programming” and what it actually takes to build a life (and business) that feels as good as it looks on paper. Sam’s path to this work began in the aftermath of an abusive relationship and a chaotic childhood that trained her nervous system to survive through intensity, hypervigilance, and achievement. After 13 years as a full-time entrepreneur — including building and selling a brick-and-mortar salon, teaching as a high-level corporate educator, and running a thriving relationship coaching business — she realized a hard truth: success wasn’t landing in her body. The goalpost kept moving, and ease felt strangely unsafe. In this conversation, we explore the nuanced, deeply practical side of nervous system healing for high-achieving women — why “just rest” can backfire, how to stop chasing catharsis, how attachment patterns shape receiving (love, money, support), and how to create sustainable success through micro-moments, refined strategy, and embodied self-trust. If you’re the woman who is “crushing it” but still feels tired, braced, and emotionally unavailable to your own life… this episode will meet you. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Who Sam is and why high-achieving women hit a wall Sam shares her journey from entrepreneurial hustle cycles to trauma-trained somatic + attachment work, and what changed when she realized success didn’t feel safe to receive. 04:40 — High performance programming explained (and why it’s not just “ambition”) A grounded breakdown of how survival-based hypervigilance can create excellence — and why it eventually leads to burnout, chronic symptoms, and emotional numbness. 10:40 — Why “just rest” doesn’t work for nervous systems trained for intensity Sam explains why over-settling can trigger more bracing, and why titration (small, safe increments) is often the real doorway. 16:10 — The “collapse weekend” pattern and the myth of scrolling as rest When your only rest is dissociation, crashing, or getting sick — and how to start recognizing what restorative rest actually is. 22:30 — “I don’t have trauma” and why language matters in somatic work Sam shares why many high-functioning women won’t relate to the “trauma” label, and how she works through the lived experience instead: “You built it… can you feel it?” 29:20 — Receiving as the missing link (love, money, success, support) A powerful practice: imagining a “feast” of everything you want — and tracking the body’s resistance, distraction, or contraction as a roadmap to healing. 36:40 — Signs you’re unconsciously rejecting the good Perfectionism, chronic criticism, moving the goalpost, inability to receive compliments, numbness after big wins, and the subtle ways your system avoids landing. 43:00 — Why we’re addicted to catharsis (and what creates real change) Breathwork breakthroughs, ice baths, “big releases” — and why sustainable nervous system rewiring happens in micro-moments over time. 47:40 — Micro-practices Sam actually uses (realistic and repeatable) Soma check-ins, learning organic rhythm, building trust with the body’s signals, and creating a schedule that supports creativity, capacity, and recovery. 55:30 — Launching without blowing your nervous system out Somatics is not one-size-fits-all. Sam shares why refinement matters: simplifying what you’re doing, removing busywork, and building strategy that matches your system. 1:01:30 — Contraction vs expansion (and why resisting contraction prolongs it) Every expansion includes contraction. Sam explains how surrendering to rhythm builds resilience — and shortens the “freeze” cycle. 1:08:30 — Somatics, spirituality, and the end of bypassing Sam shares her path through shamanism and somatics, the pendulum swing into “science-only,” and what integration actually looks like when you’re here to live a human life. 1:17:00 — Following the call (intuition, Human Design, and inner knowing) How Sam experiences initiation as a Manifestor, why doubt is part of the wave, and how to discern what’s real for you. 1:23:10 — The Mastermind: The Refinery and the work of “uncaging” Sam shares her vision: helping high-performing women create freedom in their nervous system, relationships, and business — not just more achievement. 1:30:30 — Final truth: stop outsourcing your wisdom A closing mic-drop for established entrepreneurs: take “should” off the table, return to what’s organic, and let your body lead your strategy.

    20 | Intuition & integrity as the new business model w/ Sue Rhue

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with Sue Ruhe — former massage therapist turned podcast producer, editor, and intuitive creator — to explore what it really means to follow the call of your intuition and step into a new identity with integrity, courage, and nervous system safety. Sue spent 15 years working intimately with the body through fascia therapy, grief, and hands-on healing before experiencing a massive life transition that pulled her out of the treatment room and into a completely new path. Through grief, renovation seasons, and listening to podcasts while scraping walls and ripping up floors, she felt the undeniable nudge to use her voice, share her wisdom, and support others behind the scenes as they share theirs. This conversation is real, vulnerable, and deeply human — touching on intuition, identity work, grief, somatic healing, business integrity, pricing ethics, and the messy middle of becoming who you’re meant to be. If you’re feeling called to pivot, evolve, or step into a more aligned expression of your purpose… this episode will feel like a warm, grounded invitation from your future self. EPISODE TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Sue shares her journey from 15 years as a massage therapist into podcast editing and how intuition guided her career shift into a more aligned, trauma-informed business path. 01:00 — She talks about experiencing strong intuitive nudges—while renovating her home—that pushed her to start her first podcast and follow her inner calling. 04:30 — We explore the early signs of intuitive awakening, that feeling of “I know I’m meant for more,” and how those sensations often resurface during big identity transitions. 08:30 — Sue opens up about the fear, vulnerability, and nervous system activation that came with putting her voice out publicly for the first time. 10:30 — We discuss the messy middle of creativity, learning to show up before you feel ready, and letting your first attempts be imperfect as part of healing your expression. 12:00 — A deeper conversation on business integrity, ethical pricing, and why trauma-informed entrepreneurship requires listening to the body instead of following industry pressure. 16:00 — Sue shares how long-term client relationships and referrals naturally come when your work is built on trust, authenticity, and nervous system safety. 20:00 — We talk about intuition as a business compass and how developing somatic awareness helps you make values-aligned decisions as a leader. 23:00 — Sue describes the somatic signals that told her she’d outgrown her old identity and Instagram presence, prompting her to create a new space that reflects who she is now. 27:30 — We explore how to tell the difference between a real intuitive nudge and a fleeting idea by tuning into your body’s cues and emotional resonance. 32:30 — A conversation about stepping into your next-level identity, regulating your nervous system through change, and trusting the version of you who’s emerging. 35:00 — Sue shares her powerful story of grief, receiving her late friend's journals, and the deep call she feels to write a book to honor her friend’s life and healing journey. 41:00 — We reflect on mortality, purpose, and how grief and illness can awaken a deeper clarity about what truly matters in life and work. 43:00 — A grounded discussion on emotional release, crying as a somatic reset, and how the body clears stress through tears. 46:00 — Sue explains what “answering the call” means to her, emphasizing the importance of creating your work now so you never look back with regret. 50:00 — We close with reflections on intuition, integrity, and building a trauma-informed business that is rooted in truth, embodiment, and your real lived experience.

    19 | Your Work Doesn’t Need More Eyes. It Needs the RIGHT Ones (Story Time)

    In this solo episode, I share a story that changed everything I know about authenticity, alignment, and leadership. It starts with a stage, a guitar, and a gut feeling — and turns into a powerful lesson on trusting your body, your message, and your people. Whether you’re a coach, creative entrepreneur, or purpose-driven leader, this episode will help you stop performing for the wrong crowd, release the pressure to “be louder,” and finally align with the spaces — and the people — that feel like home. We’ll dive into embodiment, nervous system regulation, and the energetics of visibility — exploring how real growth doesn’t come from forcing your way into the biggest room, but from showing up fully in the right one. If you’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome, burnout, or constantly trying to prove your worth online… this episode will remind you: your art, your voice, and your truth don’t need validation — they need resonance. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – The story behind trying to fit in  A personal story about performing music on the wrong stage — and how that moment mirrors what so many creators and entrepreneurs experience in business. 02:30 – The pressure to say yes to everything Why chasing “big opportunities” can disconnect you from your truth — and how to know when an opportunity isn’t aligned. 04:00 – How to recognize when you’re in the wrong room Signs you’re performing instead of expressing, and how your body gives you early cues through tension, hesitation, and fatigue. 06:30 – Burnout, visibility, and authenticity in business The hidden cost of trying to fit in: emotional exhaustion, creative disconnection, and self-betrayal. 08:30 – Finding your people through embodiment and self-trust Why smaller, more intentional spaces often lead to deeper impact, creativity, and connection. 10:00 – The truth about alignment and success Real success doesn’t come from forcing or performing — it comes from resonance, self-expression, and nervous system safety. 11:00 – Final reflection: stop changing your message to fit in If you’re in the wrong room, it’s not your voice that’s wrong — it’s the space. Trust your gut, follow the peace, and your people will find you.

    17 | The Science of Surrender

    In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what surrender actually looks and feels like—not as a fluffy spiritual idea, but as a lived, embodied practice. Four months into creating this podcast, I’ve learned that having a plan is easy. Trusting yourself when life reroutes that plan? That’s the work. From creative blocks and control patterns to nervous system regulation and real trust in something bigger, this conversation explores what happens when we stop gripping so tightly to the “how” and instead let ourselves be guided—mentally, physically, and spiritually. I unpack the science behind surrender—what’s happening in your brain and body when you finally soften—and why this practice is essential for creatives, leaders, and anyone building something real in the world. If you’ve been gripping, pushing, or trying to make life (or business) move on your timeline… this episode is your permission slip to exhale and trust that you’re right on time. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Cozy check-in & creative reflection Settling in with tea and honesty, Meleah reflects on four months of podcasting, what she’s learned about creative rhythms, and the humbling reality of letting plans evolve with life. 03:20 – When your plan doesn’t go as expected (and why that’s part of the path) Real talk about the illusion of “doing it right,” the discomfort of imperfection, and how creative plans often unfold differently than expected — a core part of the surrender process. 06:00 – What surrender really means (and what it’s not) Breaking down the difference between spiritual bypassing and true surrender — moving from passive “whatever happens” energy to grounded trust in what’s unfolding. 09:15 – Releasing the illusion of control Exploring why we cling to certainty, how the brain tries to make life fit its plan, and why true freedom begins when we stop fighting what’s changing. 11:00 – The three levels of surrender: mind, body, and spirit Introducing the somatic science of surrender — how your thoughts, nervous system, and connection to something bigger all play distinct roles in learning to let go. 12:00 – Mind-level surrender: releasing stories, expectations, and timelines Learning to notice mental rigidity and ask, “If this doesn’t go according to plan, will I still be okay?” — the mindset shift that rewires anxiety into self-trust. 16:30 – Body-level surrender: nervous system regulation in uncertainty Understanding how the body braces for the unknown, what’s happening physiologically when control kicks in, and how to re-teach your nervous system that safety doesn’t come from control. 19:30 – Embodied surrender practices: breathwork, yin yoga, and letting go through movement Practical somatic tools to help the body unwind — from deep belly breathing to yin yoga and hot baths — that restore trust and safety from the inside out. 22:00 – Spiritual surrender: co-creating with life instead of fighting it Leaning into trust, devotion, and co-creation with the universe (or higher self). What it means to stop carrying the full load and allow divine timing to unfold. 27:30 – The real science behind surrender: what happens in your brain when you soften The neuroscience of surrender explained — how your parasympathetic nervous system, cortisol levels, and prefrontal cortex work together to unlock creativity, intuition, and flow. 31:00 – Building self-trust through surrender Why letting go doesn’t mean losing power — it means believing you’ll be okay even when plans fall apart. How this mindset shift activates resilience, peace, and possibility. 33:30 – A real-life story of surrender & unexpected success Meleah shares how surrendering her plan led her to her dream collaboration with one of her most admired mentors — a testament to trusting divine timing and aligned action. 36:30 – The art of momentum & moving forward in alignment How to combine trust with tangible action. Why clarity, nervous system safety, and momentum are key to long-term creative success. 38:00 – Final reflections & invitation to breathe A grounding close: open your palms, breathe deeply, and remember that what’s meant for you cannot pass you by.   Meleah Rose — Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner | Transformational Breathwork Facilitator | Brand & Messaging Mentor ✨ Download the FREE PDF Guide — “The Best Month Yet BluePrint”Learn the shifts that I made in my own business to have my best month(s) in business yet (and how you can too). → [Grab your free guide] 🔥 The Art of Momentum Mini-Course A self-paced experience to help you get real, embodied results in your business — by aligning your mind, body, and strategy. → [Join here] 💡 Book a 1:1 Branding Breakthrough Session Clarify your message, embody your brand, and create content that moves people. → [Schedule now] 🌬 Book a Private Breathwork Journey Release stress, expand capacity, and reconnect with your truth through deep somatic work. → [Reserve your spot] 📲 Follow Me on Instagram: @meleah.rose  for daily insights on nervous system regulation, embodiment, and authentic leadership.

    16 | What If High Performance Felt Easy? w/ Emily Rose Dallara

    In this week’s episode, I sit down with Emily Rose DeLara—former Web3/Crypto CMO turned somatic performance coach—to unpack the real lever behind sustainable success: a regulated nervous system and the capacity to hold more.
