The Inner Script Podcast

Stephanie Baubie, NP | Integrative Nurse Practitioner

If you are in a season where your old life no longer fits, but the next version of you has not fully arrived yet, you are in the right place. The Inner Script is a podcast for highly sensitive women navigating life transitions that affect not just who they are, but how their body feels. Hosted by Stephanie Baubie, Integrative Nurse Practitioner, this show supports women moving through identity shifts, breakups, burnout, career changes, and health awakenings where something feels off and familiar coping strategies stop working. Stephanie brings clinical training and lived experience together to help you understand how transition impacts the nervous system and the body. At the heart of the show is nervous system regulation as a stabilizing force during change. You will learn how a dysregulated nervous system shows up during life transitions, why symptoms can intensify even when labs are normal, and how to begin nervous system healing through practical, body based tools. Episodes explore fight or flight symptoms, chronic stress, somatic healing, nervous system and sleep, waking up at 3am, and that wired but tired state so many women experience during periods of change. Because the podcast is led by a nurse practitioner, conversations around integrative medicine are grounded and evidence informed. Topics include women’s health, stress and hormones, cortisol imbalance, perimenopause symptoms, natural sleep remedies, and best supplements for women without fear based messaging. The Inner Script also explores emotional intelligence, emotional awareness, self sabotaging patterns, limiting beliefs, the inner critic, and the mindset shifts required to trust yourself again. This is not surface level self help. It is guidance for women learning how to feel safe in their body while becoming someone new. Subscribe and join a growing community of women who are learning to trust themselves, honor their sensitivity, and rewrite their inner script, one episode at a time.

    Bad HRV Score? What to consider before you panic: https://www.patreon.com/TheInnerScript/posts/170920337 What does a low HRV actually mean, and should a bad readiness score change what you do that day? In this episode of The Inner Script, Stephanie Baubie, NP sits down with performance scientist and HRV expert Don Moxley to unpack what heart rate variability can tell us about stress, recovery, sleep, exercise, and the nervous system.

    Before You Send That Text: 5 Questions to Ask Yourself When You’re Triggered: https://www.patreon.com/TheInnerScript/posts/169748429 Why can one comment from your partner make you instantly defensive, shut down, people-please, or feel desperate to prove your point? In this episode of The Inner Script, Stephanie Baubie, NP sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist and author Joni L.

    Should You Trust Your Gut in a Relationship? Intuition, Old Wounds & the Whispers We Ignore (Episode 34)

    Relationship Gut Check: 4 Questions to Ask Yourself When Something Feels Off: https://www.patreon.com/TheInnerScript/posts/169544155 Have you ever had a tiny moment in a relationship that didn’t feel quite right, but you convinced yourself you were overreacting? In this solo episode of The Inner Script, Stephanie Baubie, NP reflects on more than a decade of dating and relationships and the small moments, or “whispers,” she can still remember years later. Some eventually became early signs of larger patterns, while others had more to do with wounds she was carrying from her past. Steph explores how to tell the difference between intuition, useful information, and an old wound being activated, including four questions she now asks herself when something feels off. She also turns the lens inward, sharing the patterns she knows she brings into relationships herself, and reflects on what endings can teach us about grief, compatibility, self-awareness, and what we want to carry into our next chapter. This Episode Is For You If:You’ve had a nagging feeling in a relationship that you couldn’t fully explain or dismiss.You struggle to tell the difference between intuition, anxiety, past wounds, and information worth paying attention to.You want to recognize relationship patterns without turning every uncomfortable moment into proof that something is wrong.Connect with Stephanie Baubie, NP:Learn more: https://www.stephaniebaubie.comJoin the Patreon community (for FREE): https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheInnerScriptShare your thoughts, questions, or story with Stephanie.

    Is Stress Causing Your Back Pain? The Hidden Connection Between Your Emotions & Body | Ira Iz (Episode 33)

    Your Body After a Stressful Day: 6 Things to Try Before Bedtime: https://www.patreon.com/TheInnerScript/posts/168447348  What if your back or hip pain keeps returning, even when your scans look normal and no one can explain what’s wrong? In this episode of The Inner Script, Stephanie Baubie, NP sits down with movement coach and yoga teacher Ira Iz to explore the connection between chronic pain, stress, emotions, the nervous system, and movement. After years of persistent lower back and hip pain, Ira began to realize that healing wasn’t simply about finding the right stretch or exercise. It also meant understanding how her body responded to stress, anxiety, emotional suppression, and a constant drive to stay productive. Stephanie and Ira discuss how chronic stress can create patterns of tension in the body, why movement can help regulate the nervous system, what fascia actually is, and why slowing down may sometimes be just as important as getting stronger. Ira also shares how she went from feeling disconnected from her emotions and body to no longer identifying as someone with chronic pain. This Episode Is For You If:- You experience recurring back, hip, pelvic, or other physical pain without a clear explanation. - You feel chronically stressed, tense, anxious, or like your body has a hard time fully relaxing. - You’re curious about the connection between emotions, the nervous system, fascia, movement, and chronic pain.

She helps people better understand how their bodies move, hold tension, and respond so they can build confidence, restore functional movement, and create sustainable strength and resilience. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all exercises, Ira combines movement science with an understanding of the nervous system, mindset, and emotions to help people discover what works uniquely for them.

    The Lindsay Clancy Trial: What Her Case Reveals About Postpartum Psychosis (Episode 32)

    Content Note: This episode discusses the deaths of children, suicide, postpartum psychosis, and severe mental illness. This conversation is for educational purposes and personal reflection only and is not medical advice. Stephanie does not offer an opinion on Lindsay Clancy's guilt or innocence. The Lindsay Clancy trial has put postpartum psychosis, maternal mental health, psychiatric care, and the gaps in women’s healthcare at the center of a national conversation. In this solo episode, Stephanie Baubie, NP shares the questions the case has raised for her as a healthcare provider, particularly around what happened in the months leading up to January 24, 2023. Stephanie is not weighing in on Lindsay Clancy’s guilt or innocence. Instead, she examines the larger systems surrounding the case, including fragmented psychiatric care, the historical lack of research into women’s health, the connection between hormones and mental health, and why severe postpartum psychiatric illness can be so difficult to recognize. She also explores why being high-functioning is not the same as being well, and what it means when our healthcare system waits until someone reaches a crisis before intervening. This Episode Is For You If: - You’ve been following the Lindsay Clancy trial and want to understand the broader conversation around postpartum psychosis and women’s healthcare. - You’re interested in the connection between hormones, mental health, postpartum illness, perimenopause, and menopause. - You’ve ever wondered how someone can appear capable and high-functioning while struggling profoundly beneath the surface.
