    EP 16. dopamine: overstimulated + underconnected

    We're living in a world of infinite stimulation, yet so many of us feel exhausted, distracted, emotionally flat, and unable to slow down. In this episode, we explore what's really happening beneath our constant need to scroll, consume, stay busy, and avoid silence. Together, we unpack the science of dopamine beyond the "happy hormone" myth, how modern technology is rewiring our brains, and why simple things that once brought us joy can begin to feel underwhelming. We also dive into the deeper connection between overstimulation, the nervous system, trauma, and emotional regulation, exploring why, for many people, constant stimulation has become a way of feeling safe rather than simply being entertained. From productivity addiction and validation seeking to phone-free mornings, boredom, and learning to tolerate stillness again, this conversation offers a compassionate and evidence-informed look at how we can reclaim our attention, reconnect with ourselves, and build a life that doesn't rely on constant stimulation to feel okay.

    EP 14: Krissy solo - the science of becoming someone new

    Why is it that we can know exactly what we need to do, yet still find ourselves repeating the same patterns year after year? In this episode, Britt and Krissy explore the psychology and neuroscience behind lasting change, and why becoming a different version of yourself is about so much more than willpower or motivation. If you've ever felt like you're constantly starting over, this conversation will help you understand why. In this episode, we explore: 💛 Why people often don't rise to the level of their goals, but instead act in line with the identity they've built over a lifetime 💛 How childhood experiences, attachment, family dynamics and trauma quietly shape the beliefs we carry about ourselves 💛 The neuroscience of identity, including neural pathways, the brain's predictive nature, and why familiarity often feels safer than happiness 💛 Why real change can trigger resistance, self sabotage and fear, even when it's exactly what we want 💛 How your nervous system influences your ability to create lasting change and why healing isn't just about changing your thoughts 💛 A practical five step framework for becoming someone new through awareness, regulation, new experiences, repetition and embodiment Whether you're trying to heal, build healthier relationships, lose weight, start a business or simply stop repeating old patterns, this episode will give you a deeper understanding of why change feels so difficult and what actually creates lasting transformation. 👉 Tune in to discover why becoming isn't about finding yourself. It's about gently letting go of the version of yourself you once needed to survive, so you can become the person you're capable of being.

This episode: What if passion isn't something you find, but something you build? In this episode, Britt and Krissy dive into one of life's biggest questions: How do I find my purpose? Together, they unpack the myths that keep so many people feeling lost and explore what research, psychology and lived experience actually suggest about creating a meaningful life. In this episode, we explore: 💛 Why passion is often built through action, not magically discovered 💛 How mastery creates motivation, confidence and genuine enjoyment over time 💛 The powerful intersection between what you're good at, what you enjoy, and what genuinely helps other people 💛 Why your nervous system matters more than you think, and how survival mode can make purpose feel impossible to access 💛 The importance of following curiosity instead of waiting for certainty 💛 Why trying new experiences is one of the fastest ways to gain clarity 💛 How paying attention to the small "breadcrumbs" of excitement can quietly lead you toward a life that feels aligned Whether you're feeling stuck, changing careers, questioning your direction, or simply wondering if there's something more for you, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on purpose. You don't need to have your whole life figured out. Sometimes the next small step is all you need to uncover what's next. 👉 Tune in for an honest conversation that might just change the way you think about passion, purpose and creating a life that feels like your own.

    Join us for a deeply honest and moving conversation with Ella Burns as we explore what it really means to come home to yourself. In this episode, Ella shares: 💛 Her personal healing journey, who she was before this work, and the moments that sparked profound change 💛 How people pleasing, perfectionism and toxic shame quietly shape our identity, relationships, nervous system and sense of self 💛 The "underworld" of healing, what happened behind the scenes, what she had to grieve, and the versions of herself she had to let go of along the way 💛 Why understanding healing isn't the same as embodying it, and how so many women become disconnected from their bodies through survival mode 💛 The powerful role of music, movement, voice and women's circles in creating safety, regulation and genuine connection 💛 What embodiment, authenticity and "coming home to yourself" truly means, and the path from surviving to experiencing more joy, freedom and belonging 💛 What Ella is currently learning, navigating and becoming in this season of her life Whether you're in the middle of your own healing journey, feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply longing for a deeper sense of authenticity, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, hopeful and inspired.

    EP 10: adhd + the link between the nervous system

    In this episode, we unpack the rise of ADHD diagnoses in women and explore why so many are only discovering it in their 20s, 30s, and beyond. Through personal stories, we discuss diagnosis, self-identification, the role of labels, and what understanding ADHD can change. We dive into how ADHD often presents differently in women, why it has historically been overlooked, and the impact of masking, perfectionism, and burnout. T he conversation also explores the intersections between ADHD, trauma, hormones, and the nervous system, offering a more nuanced perspective than the traditional medical model alone. From dopamine and the menstrual cycle to procrastination, hyperfocus, emotional overwhelm, and nervous system regulation, this episode invites listeners to consider ADHD through multiple lenses. Most importantly, it's a conversation about understanding ourselves with more compassion and recognising that many women aren't broken-they've simply been trying to function in systems that weren't built for their brains or their nervous systems.
