I was the high-achieving millennial who had done everything “right”—career, family, success—but inside, I was exhausted, resentful, and completely disconnected from myself.I kept thinking, “If I just try harder, I’ll feel better.” But trying harder didn’t work.
What finally changed everything was learning to work with my brain and nervous system, not against them.And that’s what this podcast is here to help you do, too.
