Healing at the Root

36. Why High-Performing Women Burn Out (& What Therapy Misses) with Samantha Johnson

You look successful on paper. You're hitting the goals, running the business, holding the relationships together. But underneath, your body is exhausted. The intensity that built your life is starting to break it. This week, I sit down with Samantha Johnson, a somatic experiencing practitioner, to discuss how high-performance women's experiences in therapy doesn't quite cut it. We get into: * Why survival mode is profitable (& that's exactly why it's so hard to leave) * The childhood blueprint that turns "good girls" into burnt-out CEOs * Why your attachment patterns show up in your sales calls, not just your relationships * The difference between regulation & resolution (most somatic work stops at the bandaid) * What it actually looks like to do the work before motherhood- the hormonal piece, the epigenetic piece, the "am I ready" piece * The shame spiral of "I should know better by now" (& why the wound keeps coming back in new costumes) * Why nervous system regulation is not breathwork & what it actually is * Holding the duality: loving your mother & being furious with her at the same time If you've ever thought "insight isn't enough anymore" this one is for you. 🎧 Find Samantha on Instagram & Threads @somaticallysam.

35. Why Doing Everything 'Right' Still Feels Wrong (For Eldest & Only Daughters)

You're meditating. You're journaling. You're in therapy. You're eating clean & moving your body & getting your sunlight & saying no to the things that don't serve you. So why does it still feel like you're failing some invisible test? This week is a solo episode for the eldest & only daughters who've turned healing into another performance. I get into: * The difference between looking regulated & being regulated * How "doing it right" became the new people-pleasing (just dressed up as wellness) * The performative wellness trap & why the health space can feel so boring it kills you * Why eldest & only daughters slip into all-or-nothing thinking * The bubble you worked so hard to build & what it's actually for * How to tell the difference between "this feels good because I performed it well" vs "this feels good because it's mine" * Why I'd rather you aim for self-respect than self-love (at least at first) * A parts-work reframe for the moment you swing from rigid wellness to binge mode (& back) 🎧 If you're ready to stop performing healing & actually integrate it, Regulate & Release is open.

34. How to Talk to Your Kids About Death Without Making It Scary (with Jenny Robinson Clark)

Grief doesn't live in your head. It lives in your body- in the breath you hold, the words you couldn't say, the longing that shows up at the most inconvenient moments. In this episode, I sit down with Jenny Robinson Clark- author of the children's book Are You Here?- for a tender conversation about losing her mother to cancer, the signs that started showing up after, & the quiet ways love continues even when someone is no longer physically here. We talk about: * Why grief is a full-body experience (not just an emotional one) * The dragonflies, owls, & gusts of wind that became her language with her mom * How becoming a mother reshaped the way she carries loss * Talking to kids about death without making it scary or "taboo" * Conscious parenting & what we get wrong about praise, punishment, & emotional safety * The Joe Dispenza retreat that cracked her heart open & led to the book * How creativity (dance, writing, song) becomes a doorway for grief to move If you've lost someone you love or you're trying to figure out how to talk to your kids about loss without all the heaviness you grew up with - this one is for you. 🎧 Find Jenny's book Are You Here? & her grief community at jennyrobinsonclark.com [jennyrobinsonclark.com]& on Instagram @jennyrobinsonclark [https://www.instagram.com/jennyrobinsonclark/].

33. Panic Attacks, Shame & the Eldest Daughter Wound - A Client Story with Dzenita

Dzenita woke up in the middle of the night with her first panic attack... & from there, everything unraveled. She did what most high-achieving women do. Therapy. Meditation. Barre classes. A clean diet. Every protocol the internet had to offer. & something was still missing. In this conversation, Dzenita (now 30 weeks pregnant & a current client inside Regulate & Release) shares what finally started to shift for her... & why it wasn't another mindset reframe or productivity hack. We get into: — The invisible pressure eldest & first-gen daughters carry (& why "I'll figure it out on my own" isn't a personality trait, it's a pattern)— Shame as the quiet root underneath most anxiety— What changes when you stop trying to fix yourself & start getting curious instead— Why talk therapy alone wasn't enough (& what body-based, somatic work added that nothing else could)— Preparing for motherhood & postpartum without dragging old patterns into the delivery room— Why slow healing is the only healing that actually lasts— The one practice Janita now carries with her everywhere (hint: you're already doing it) If you've been doing all the right things & still don't feel safe in your own body... this episode is for you.

32. You’re One Belief Away: Rewiring Anxiety, Success & Self-Worth with Tim Shurr

Why do high-achieving, successful people still feel anxious, stuck, or never “enough”? In this episode, I sit down with subconscious expert, bestselling author, and executive coach Tim Shurr to unpack the hidden belief systems driving anxiety, burnout, and self-sabotage, especially in high performers. With over 16,000 coaching sessions and 30+ years of experience, Tim shares why most personal development and wellness practices fail to create lasting change… and what actually works. We explore how subconscious beliefs formed in early life shape your identity, relationships, success, and even your health—and why no amount of hustle, discipline, or “mindset work” will fix what’s rooted deeper. Tim breaks down his One Belief Away Method and explains how shifting just one core belief can radically transform how you feel, show up, and experience your life. This conversation bridges neuroscience, psychology, and real-world transformation. This episode covers: * The core belief that keeps high achievers stuck in anxiety and pressure * Why success doesn’t resolve feelings of “not enough” * The difference between surface-level healing vs. subconscious rewiring * How belief systems impact relationships, health, and burnout * Why most wellness tools don’t work without changing your core beliefs If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still feel stuck… this will show you why. 🎁 Free High Performance Gift: The High Performance Switch [https://shop.indyhypnosis.com/The-High-Performance-Switch?utm_source=chatgpt.com] 📘 Tim Shurr’s Book – One Belief Away: One Belief Away Book [https://www.amazon.com/One-Belief-Away/dp/0578578553?utm_source=chatgpt.com]
