In this episode, Ana shares the quiet truth so many high-performing women live with: chaos has become their comfort zone. She opens up about growing up in an unpredictable home, becoming an expert at managing crises, and mistaking her ability to stay calm in the storm as strength, when it was actually survival mode. From toxic relationships to a chaotic career in acting to living in overstimulating environments, Ana explores what happened when she finally slowed down… and how nervous system healing helped her redefine safety on her own terms.

This episode explores:

• Why chaotic environments can feel "normal" when you've grown up in survival

• How the nervous system becomes wired to expect urgency, volatility, or crisis

• What happened when Ana moved from chaos into calm—and what it taught her

• The difference between dissociating and true peace

• How breathwork and somatic healing can help your body finally feel safe in stillness

This is an episode for the strong ones. The ones who can hold it all, but are quietly craving rest. Ana shares her story as a mirror for yours, and invites you to consider what life might feel like if chaos weren't your baseline anymore.

If you're ready to soften and experience peace without fear, Ana shares how The Summer Reset might support you:
✨ 3 private healing + coaching sessions over 2 months
✨ Breathwork, intuitive coaching, and somatic tools
✨ A steady container to unwind and feel safe in your body again

In this episode, Ana shares her journey from overgiving and self-sacrifice to reclaiming her own needs and boundaries. Growing up watching her mother put herself last, Ana learned that being a "good woman" meant taking care of everyone else first. For years, she poured her energy into others—friends, partners, colleagues—believing it was love. But beneath it was exhaustion, resentment, and disconnection from herself.

Through therapy, breathwork, and nervous system healing, Ana began unlearning the belief that love is earned through self-sacrifice. She reflects on the difficult choices she made to end one-sided relationships, and how creating space for mutual, nourishing connections transformed her life.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How childhood examples shape our beliefs about love, rest, and caretaking
  
  

• Why chronic overgiving often stems from fear and learned survival patterns
  
  

• The signs a relationship may be rooted in one-sided giving
  
  

• How to set boundaries without guilt or over-explaining
  
  

• Why true service comes from self-connection, not depletion
  
  

Ana also invites you to reflect on your own patterns: Did you grow up believing love had to be earned? Are you ready to start putting your own needs on the table?

If you're craving support in reconnecting with yourself, Ana shares how The Summer Reset can help—three private sessions in a steady, nurturing container to help you feel grounded, cared for, and deeply connected to yourself again.
