What if the real reason you can’t slow down is because your nervous system thinks chaos is home? We sit down with coach Lisa Carpenter to explore the gritty truth behind overdoing, people-pleasing, and why peace can feel unbearably awkward when you’ve built an identity around being “the responsible one.” Through raw stories and practical tools, we map a way out of busy culture and into a life that feels grounded, spacious, and deeply yours.

Lisa breaks down the difference between a busy life and a full life and introduces the Doing Diary, a simple practice that reveals where your time and energy actually go. We talk boundaries without buzzwords: how to hold a line, ride the wave of guilt, and stop rescuing others at the cost of your health and money. Personal power becomes the throughline—knowing what you feel, honoring what you need, and acting in your best interest without abandoning compassion for others. We also unpack the scripts many women inherit about sharing, being “nice,” and not being “too much,” and how those beliefs quietly drain agency and joy.

This conversation spans nervous system regulation, discomfort tolerance, and the courage to let some relationships evolve—or end—so better ones can take root. We challenge listeners to schedule one day each month for nothing, creating the white space that creativity and healing require. If you’ve ever tried to “optimize” your way to peace with more tasks, more supplements, or more certifications, this is your nudge to look inward. The tools help, but your beliefs and behaviors do the heavy lifting.

We just reopened our retired programs, the ones that changed so many lives. If you’re ready for deeper healing work to pair with the podcast, this bundle is your next step.

These three programs were originally valued at $700, and now we’ve bundled them for just $97, over 85% off. It gives you real tools to support your body, calm your nervous system, and move forward on your healing path.

Emotions don’t disappear when we ignore them—they take up residence in the body and start running the show. We dig into how suppressed feelings become physical symptoms, why the nervous system can’t tell the difference between a memory and a moment, and how traditional Chinese medicine maps specific emotions to organs like the liver, lungs, kidneys, and spleen. Along the way, we share a powerful remission story that links chronic anger with autoimmune hepatitis and the multi-pronged path that brought lasting relief.

We also get practical. You’ll learn a simple emotions audit to spot your daily patterns, plus tools to move stuck energy: 60-second box breathing to reset stress, journaling prompts that reveal meaning without judgment, EFT tapping for targeted relief, and somatic options like yoga, intuitive movement, and myofascial release. We challenge “toxic positivity” and offer a more honest approach—name the feeling, let it move, then reach for a better feeling thought that is believable and calming. Small shifts compound: from “What if everything goes wrong?” to “I’ve handled uncertainty before.” That’s how you reclaim power without bypassing what’s real.

If you’re tired of being “right” but not well, this conversation invites you to choose relief over rumination, embodiment over avoidance, and agency over waiting for a savior. Track your top emotions this week, experiment with one tool, and notice what changes. Ready to keep going?

Ever feel ready to move, yet somehow your body slams the brakes? We sat down with certified brainspotting practitioner Jennie Hays to unpack a powerful, body-led way to clear emotional blocks so your actions finally match your intentions. From the science of how the limbic system stores unprocessed stress to the surprising role of eye position in releasing it, this conversation blends story, method, and practical tools you can try right away.

Jennie traces her journey from 911 paramedicine to coaching and the moment she watched a client transform months of hesitation into decisive outreach after one brainspotting session. We explain how brainspotting relates to EMDR, why it can be lightning fast for performance blocks, and what a session actually looks like online—no trance, full control, and results that last. You’ll hear the iconic ice skater story behind the method, plus real-world examples of how seemingly small patterns—procrastination, fear of visibility, overthinking—often point to stored charge that can be cleared.

We also share simple steps to start at home. Build body awareness when calm to help future experiences store cleanly. Try the 3D memory test with traffic stress to find your own “brain spot.” Use the “sentries and proof” method to challenge harsh thoughts by supplying evidence for a kinder truth. When the charge dissolves, you don’t have to install a new belief—your nervous system updates on its own, and the next step feels obvious rather than forced.
