    Ambitious Women in Burnout, Perfectionism, & Nervous System Healing with Mitch Webb (Part 2)

    Are you constantly pushing, striving, and doing everything "right"—yet still feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck? In Part 2 of my conversation with nervous system coach Mitch Webb, we explore why so many high-achieving people struggle with burnout despite their best efforts to improve their health, mindset, and well-being. After years of chasing the perfect diet, supplements, biohacks, and wellness routines, Mitch discovered that true healing wasn't about doing more—it was about learning how to listen to his body, build nervous system capacity, and develop self-trust. Together, we unpack the hidden ways perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, and chronic stress can keep us trapped in survival mode, and what it takes to begin healing from the inside out. In this episode, you'll learn: Why perfectionism can be a trauma responseThe connection between burnout and nervous system dysregulationHow people-pleasing disconnects us from our authentic selvesWhat it means to build nervous system capacityWhy healing isn't about fixing yourselfThe difference between intellectualizing emotions and actually feeling themPractical grounding techniques to help regulate stressHow self-trust plays a critical role in recovery and resilienceWhy healing is not linear and what that means for your journeyAbout Mitch Webb: Mitch Webb is a nervous system coach who helps people struggling with chronic stress, burnout, health challenges, and nervous system dysregulation reconnect with their bodies and build lasting resilience. Through his own journey of healing from traumatic brain injuries, Lyme disease, and long COVID, he discovered the transformative power of nervous system regulation and now helps others do the same.

    How Trauma Impacts the Nervous System and Physical Health with Mitch Webb (Part 1)

    Can unresolved trauma affect your physical health? In Part 1 of this conversation, I sit down with nervous system coach Mitch Webb to explore his remarkable journey from college athlete and self-described party guy to someone navigating traumatic brain injuries, panic attacks, chronic illness symptoms, Lyme disease, and long COVID. After a life-changing accident while studying abroad, Mitch began experiencing anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, and a growing list of health challenges that traditional approaches couldn't fully explain. His search for answers eventually led him to nervous system regulation and a completely different understanding of healing. Together, we explore how chronic stress, trauma, and survival responses can influence both emotional and physical health, and why healing may require looking beyond symptoms alone. In this episode, you'll learn: How a traumatic brain injury changed the course of Mitch's lifeThe connection between trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, and chronic stressWhat nervous system dysregulation actually meansThe difference between fight, flight, freeze, and shutdown responsesHow chronic stress may impact blood sugar, digestion, sleep, and overall healthWhy symptoms are often messages rather than problems to fight againstThe role of self-compassion in the healing processHow unresolved experiences can continue affecting the body years later Connect with Mitch Webb: Podcast: Rooted Conversations Let's Connect: If today's conversation resonated with you and you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in survival mode, I'd love to connect with you.

    Why You Can’t Fully Relax During Sex (It’s Not What You Think)

    Why does sex sometimes feel disconnected… even when you care about the person? In Part 2 of this conversation, we go deeper into the connection between anxiety, shame, and intimacy—and how these patterns quietly shape your experience in relationships. I’m joined again by Elana Auerbach, author of The Sure Thing, and we explore the layers most people avoid: the conditioning around sex, the pressure to perform, and the internal narratives that make it hard to fully relax and be present. If you’ve ever felt in your head during intimacy, struggled to let go, or questioned why something felt “off” even when everything seemed right—this episode will open your eyes. In this episode: How shame impacts your ability to experience intimacyThe link between anxiety and disconnection during sexConditioning and beliefs that shape your relationship with intimacyWhy safety—not performance—is the foundation of connectionHow to start recognizing and shifting these patternsThis is the deeper layer of the conversation. If you haven’t listened to Part 1, start there—this builds on everything we uncovered about anxiety, attraction, and relationship signals.
