    33. From hypermasculinity to healing and presence: how Jeff Murray used breathwork & psilocybin to break a 25 year resentment cycle

    Most high achieving men think they're built different. What they don't realize is that their nervous system has never stopped running from something they’ve likely been avoiding since childhood, and it's costing them their health, relationships, quality of life and shaving off decades of their life. In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Murray, coach, speaker, and host of The Power of Presence podcast, to go deep on the inner work that actually gets to the root of it all. Jeff opens up about walking away from a promising baseball career at 17, carrying resentment toward male mentors for over 20 years, and the psilocybin ceremony that finally freed him from a pattern he didn't even know he was in. We break down why mindset work alone will only take you so far, how hyper-masculine conditioning drives men into chronic fight-or-flight, and why learning to receive is one of the hardest, but most healing things a high performer can do. About Jeff: Jeff Murray is a dynamic speaker, podcaster and working on his first book.  With over two decades of success in sales leadership across various industries. Over the past five years, he has dedicated himself to entrepreneurship, helping high performers—including leaders, veterans, athletes at all levels, and former athletes—achieve mental clarity and peak performance. Jeff’s mission is to guide individuals toward peace with their past so it no longer holds them back in the present. If Jeff could give just one piece of advice, is wherever you are be all there, believing true success and fulfillment comes from being fully present in every moment.

  2. 32. How to actually heal perfectionism (it’s not what you think)

    32. How to actually heal perfectionism (it’s not what you think)

    Most people think the cure for perfectionism is… well… brushing it under the carpet. Why fix something that took you to where you are in life and business? Unfortunately perfectionism is one of the most common traits in high achievers and one of the most common contributing factors when it comes to high achiever burnout. The more you scale your business, the harder your perfectionistic tendencies will kick in, and the easier and more likely you’ll burnout and be stuck in the same spot for months or even years. In this episode, we break down the two most effective evidence-based approaches to healing perfectionism at the root. You'll learn why perfectionism is a nervous system response, rather than an innate personality trait, and how adults who were insecurely attached in childhood can develop secure attachment and rewire those patterns for good. We cover the psychology behind Gabor Maté's 4A framework (authenticity, agency, anger, and acceptance), the research on earned secure attachment from Mary Main, and why Bessel van der Kolk's body-based trauma work is essential, because cognitive insight alone won't get you there. If you're a high achiever who's exhausted, chronically on guard, or can't seem to turn it off no matter how much you accomplish, this is the episode you needed years ago. 14 Day inerOS Reset https://deannawrose.com/osreset Take the Performance Archetype Quiz https://shorturl.at/aHm4Q Connect on Social https://instagram.com/dr.deannawrose/ How I support high performers https://deannawrose.com/programs  Get email updates https://deannawrose.com/connect#newsletter Keywords: how to heal perfectionism, perfectionism and trauma, earned secure attachment, nervous system healing, Gabor Mate 4A framework, somatic healing, window of tolerance, high achiever burnout, founder burnout, body keeps the score, attachment style adults

    31. Why your best trait is actually hurting you: your perfectionism is a trauma response

    Perfectionism driven by fear of failure is one of the strongest predictors of burnout, chronic stress, depression, and anxiety in high achieving adults. Through decades of research we now know it’s a survival strategy, one your nervous system built before you were old enough to choose it, and it has been running your life ever since. In this episode, we break down exactly what's happening in the brain and body of the founder who can't stop grinding, can't accept a compliment, and only feels safe when everything is under control.  We cover the attachment science behind fear-based perfectionism, what Gabor Maté calls the “scars of where we lost connection to ourselves”, how chronic cortisol and amygdala activation are physically measurable in perfectionists, and what it actually takes to rewire it without losing your edge. If you're a high performer who's starting to wonder whether the thing that built your success is also the thing destroying your health, your relationships, and your ability to enjoy any of it, check out this episode.

    30. Why high achievers can’t receive: the nervous system behind burnout

    You’ve given your time, energy, resources, and everything you could give to your business and the people around you. But when someone offers you help, rest, praise, or recognition, why does it feel so uncomfortable? For founders and high-performing leaders, the inability to receive is a nervous system survival pattern. In this episode, we unpack why driven, ambitious people are often the worst at slowing down, what's really happening in the body when you deflect a compliment or refuse help, and how somatic practices can retrain your stress response at the root. You'll walk away with a simple, science-backed body practice you can use today.

    29. From professional athlete to body recomposition coach: how burnout changed her life with Stella Iordanidi

    Stella Iordanidi is a body recomposition coach and the founder of Train With Stella, a coaching business she’s been running for the past ten years. Her story started in athletics. She was born in Greece, but immigrated when she was three years old and grew up in Colombia. Swimming became a huge part of her life. She competed nationally and internationally as a junior athlete and was fortunate to win several titles. She was the first female athlete in Colombia to hold a national record in long-distance swimming, and also became the overall champion, male and female, in the first open sea swimming championship held in the country. That athletic career eventually took her to the World Championships. But ironically, that’s where she experienced one of her biggest lessons, because she got injured after pushing herself into burnout. Later in life she immigrated again, this time to the UK, where she started her professional career. She worked in sales and customer service at Apple, and eventually built a career in team management there. But throughout all those experiences, sport, corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, she kept noticing the same pattern: high achievers know how to push themselves to succeed, but very few people teach them how to protect their health and their nervous system while doing it. Today her work focuses on helping driven women build strong, healthy bodies through intelligent training and nutrition, without falling into the burnout cycle that so many high performers experience.

    If you've ever told yourself "I just need to trust my team more" and then immediately took back the task, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll get a practical 4-step delegation protocol designed to give your nervous system evidence that releasing control is safe. And you'll understand exactly what to do the moment that urge to just check in hits. In this episode: Why your amygdala is the real reason you micromanage The 4-step protocol to delegate without spiraling How to use your breath as a pattern interrupt in real time The delegation log method that builds lasting trust in your team Why acceptable standard is the metric that actually scales you This is the practical follow-up to last week's episode on becoming the bottleneck. 14 Day inerOS Reset https://deannawrose.com/osreset Take the Nervous System Pattern Quiz https://shorturl.at/aHm4Q Connect on Social https://instagram.com/dr.deannawrose/ How I support high performers https://deannawrose.com/programs  Get email updates https://deannawrose.com/connect#newsletterKeywords: delegation for entrepreneurs, how to stop micromanaging, founder bottleneck, nervous system regulation business, how to delegate to your team, entrepreneur burnout, scaling a business, letting go of control, leadership mindset, business growth strategy, entrepreneur mental health, micromanagement fix, overcoming burnout, startup burnout, founder burnout, founder performance, female startup founders wellness, founder mental health
