About this listen

 In this episode, I sit down with Brittany Anger to unpack what happens when you "have it all" on paper, but your body is quietly waving the white flag. Brittany shares what life looked like coming back from maternity leave into a fast-paced corporate banking role while recovering from thyroid surgery, carrying the emotional load at home, and living in constant go-go-go mode. We talk about how high performers often guilt themselves into "just being grateful," even when they're running on fumes, and why knowing you need help isn't the same as your nervous system being able to receive it. One of Brittany's biggest breakthroughs was learning the difference between resetting (scrolling, numbing, zoning out) and decompressing (actually refueling her body and capacity). She explains how small shifts like outsourcing meal prep, letting her husband own bedtime, and choosing the "good enough" option on hard days helped her reclaim energy, confidence, and presence, without needing life to feel hard to be valid.

Key Takeaways

  • Your nervous system can reject "help" even when your mind agrees you need it.

  • Resetting isn't the same as decompressing, and the difference changes your entire capacity.

  • The real win is learning your "low battery warning" before you hit burnout.
