You’re doing the workouts, tracking the meals, and still wondering—why does this feel so hard? Why does my body resist change, even when I’m doing “everything right”?

In this conversation with women’s fitness coach Megan Hardy, we unpack the emotional cost of pushing your body from a place of self-criticism. Whether you're postpartum, post-burnout, or just stuck in the cycle of “fixing” your body instead of befriending it, this episode explores what really shifts physical results—hint: it’s not just macros or reps, but the state your nervous system is in when you take action. We get honest about the mental load of being a Type A woman in a body that’s tired of being a project—and how to finally stop self-abandoning in the name of discipline.

• Understand how unspoken stress and subtle self-rejection can block your physical results
• Learn the nervous system patterns behind why some clients thrive—and others spiral—even on the same program
• Get real, embodied tools to shift out of cortisol-driven hustle and into sustainable strength, joy, and confidence

Are you secretly exhausted from doing it all—but still struggle to let go of control?

Whether you’re a founder, team lead, or solo operator, delegation can stir up more than just workflow stress. If you’ve experienced betrayal (whether in business, friendship, or childhood) your nervous system may have learned to associate asking for help with getting hurt. In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface.

In today’s episode learn:

– Why hyper-independence and over-control are often rooted in trauma, not personality

– How one client moved from chronic burnout to embodied delegation (and why it started with trust, not tools)

– A practical script to delegate clearly—without triggering old patterns of shame or mistrust

In 2018, I found myself frozen—standing under a running shower, dreading another day of trying to show up online while feeling completely invisible. I’d just mentally quit my business after another spiral of comparison and self-doubt. Every time I opened a blank Google Doc, my voice disappeared. On sales calls, my chest would tighten, and my brain fogged over. I felt broken.

But that day, I tried one thing: a breath practice I’d learned in my somatic trauma therapy training.

It didn’t fix everything.

But it helped me step out of the shower.

And that was enough to begin again.

In this short guided breath episode, you’ll learn:

– A simple practice to shift from foggy and frozen to grounded and clear

– Why nervous system regulation—not mindset—is the missing piece when you’re stuck in indecision or self-doubt

– How to use breath as a physiological reset that opens space for clarity, creativity, and confident action

Have you ever been told to “just get clear on your needs”... and felt even more confused?

Because when your nervous system is dysregulated, even that well-meaning advice can send you on a wild goose chase.

In this episode, we explore why identifying and meeting your needs can feel exhausting—especially when you’re in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.

You’ll learn why what feels like a need—rest, journaling, asking for something—is sometimes just an outdated survival mechanism.

✨ Inside, we’ll explore:

– How to tell the difference between your survival thoughts and your true needs

– The one self-dialogue question that unlocks the part of you trying to protect yourself

– A gentle reframe: “If I knew I was safe and loved, what would I do?”

I’ll walk you through real-life examples—like the part of me that thought I needed to initiate a difficult conversation, but what I actually needed… was to stop judging myself.

🤍 If you’ve been chasing strategies (another conversation, a perfectly worded email, a better to-do list)—this episode will help you pause, regulate, and come back to what’s real.

Start here, and meet the deeper part of you that knows exactly what it needs

Bookkeeping or tax prep make you want to shut down, explode, or avoid it altogether?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the surprising intersection between your nervous system, the Drama Triangle, and your relationship to money. Whether you over-control your finances, avoid them completely, or oscillate between burnout and guilt (there’s likely a deeper emotional role you’ve unconsciously taken on. And it’s not just draining your energy) it’s shaping your entire relationship with responsibility, safety, and success.

• Learn how common business tasks like accounting, taxes, and admin trigger deeper survival responses in the nervous system
• Understand the hidden role you may be stuck in (Victim, Rescuer, or Persecutor) and how it plays out in your financial behavior
• Discover why nervous system regulation is the missing link between spiritual alignment, emotional resilience, and financial clarity
