The people pleaser. The overachiever. The good one. The quiet one. Sarah Dawkins says none of that is your personality. Those are adaptations you made as a child and never put down, and they are costing you your sleep, your energy, and your body.

Sarah spent her career as a registered nurse until one colleague challenged one belief and sent her looking for everything her training never covered. She went on to write Heal Yourself, which tells her story alongside 74 people who share how they found their way back, and she now coaches midlife professional women who are burned out, in pain, and not sleeping.

In this conversation, she explains why successful women chase separate fixes for insomnia, exhaustion, and pain when all three trace back to one root cause. She names the sick role almost nobody wants to admit they are comfortable in. She reveals what she asks a client to move her from symptom chasing to the real story underneath. And she poses the question that stops high achievers cold: what would happen if you set a boundary, said no, and chose yourself first?
