    Your Burnout Is Trying to Tell You Something: A Psychiatrist Gets Real About Stress & Survival Mode

    Send us a text Burnout can look like a 2 pm crash, a shorter fuse with people you love, and a slow loss of passion that you can’t quite explain. Our guest, Dr. Rozina—psychiatrist and integrative medicine clinician—opens up about the car accident that exposed her own limits and the gratitude practice that helped her rebuild from the inside out. We trace her path from early academic setbacks to a career at the crossroads of psychiatry, functional medicine, and prevention, and we get real about why our insurance-first system still treats illness faster than it funds wellness. Together we unpack the hidden drivers of stress for Gen Z and young professionals: an evolutionary bias toward threat, fear-saturated media, and social comparison that keeps the nervous system on high alert. Instead of pathologizing normal feelings, we talk emotional literacy—naming emotions, normalizing them, and responding with skill. You’ll hear three simple signals of burnout to watch for (energy, irritability, passion), a traffic light model for knowing when to push or pause, and a practical Mind CPR method: Calm your body, Process what you can control, Respond with one wise action you can repeat. We also spotlight precision care that meets real life. Sometimes a “normal” panel misses the root cause—like low ferritin hiding behind fatigue—or standard advice ignores adrenal stress. Dr. Rozina explains how targeted testing and lifestyle tweaks can restore momentum without overwhelm. If you’ve felt the system is too rushed to hear your full story, this conversation offers tools you can use today and language to advocate for the care you deserve. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s running on empty, and leave a review to help others find it. Your small step today might be the spark someone else needs tomorrow.

    Your Body Will Force the Reset: Seizure Recovery, Burnout & Choosing Yourself Daily

    Send us a text A flashing light, a broken mug, and a hard truth: when your body whispers, listen before it screams. That’s where we start as Bettina opens up about a recent grand mal seizure, the foggy postictal hours, and the surprising sadness that trailed the medical drama. No hype, no hustle—just a real-time reset that turned “push through it” into “pause for it,” and a practical path to heal the nervous system without shame. We unpack what choosing rest actually takes in a world obsessed with productivity. Bettina breaks down the small but brave steps that made the difference: canceling plans, working from the couch, letting emails wait, and letting love in when her partner’s fear made the stakes clear. From there we tackle holiday stress with divorced families, the guilt-and-gifts spiral, and why lowering the bar can reveal what matters most. Presence over pressure isn’t a slogan—it’s a health plan. Then we tear up the “New Year, New Me” contract and replace it with something kinder and smarter: daily do-overs. You don’t need a date to start again; you need permission to be human. We share simple tools—walks, breath, silence, the power of no—that help protect your nervous system and rebuild your life from the inside out. Along the way you’ll hear what’s coming next: deeper conversations with experts in functional medicine, legal protection and boundaries, and creators willing to tell the truth you won’t find in highlight reels. If you’re carrying fatigue, burnout, or grief, this is your reminder that rest is not quitting and slowing down is not failure. Tap play for grounded strategies, honest stories, and a community that believes in tiny wins that compound. If it helps, share it with someone who needs a do-over today, and don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and join us as we get fortified—one real step at a time.

    Bonus Episode: Imposter Syndrome, Small Wins & Healing That Sticks: Tools for Anxiety, Depression & Launching Big

    Send us a text SOLO Episode – Filmed in October 2025 during our BETA launch. Getting ready for the January 2026 college tour! Start here if you need proof that you’re not alone. Bettina takes us from “3-2-1 get out of bed” mornings to prepping a nationwide app launch, unpacking the messy middle where imposter syndrome, anxiety, and comparison culture try to call the shots. The stories are raw, the tools are practical, and the goal is simple: help that actually helps. We dig into how naming emotions shrinks their power, why a “receipts folder” becomes your antidote to self-doubt, and how to separate facts from feelings when your brain spirals. Bettina talks about the moment she shifted from victim consciousness to agency, the role of a soul coach who challenged her beliefs, and the unexpected comfort of inner child work when the stakes feel high. If you’re starting college, stepping into a new role, or shipping something big, you’ll hear guidance for navigating social anxiety, friendship audits, and the online highlight reel without losing yourself. Along the way, we share sensory-based panic kits, micro-celebrations that build momentum, and a reminder that you’ve survived every day so far—and that’s evidence. We also announce the Fortify Wellness App, a 360 platform for talk therapy, coaching, fitness, and meditation in one subscription, built for the version of you that’s finally ready to try. Ready to feel supported, not overwhelmed? Press play, build your receipts folder, and tell us one win you’re claiming today.

Her most recent triumph came in January 2024, where she clinched the coveted title of U.S. National Champion.
