Oh hey y’all.

This episode is one of those conversations where you feel seen, called out and deeply reassured all at once.

I’m joined by Dr Sienna Olson, and honestly, this one goes everywhere it needs to go. We talk about strength training as identity, nervous system regulation for high performing women, and why so many of us are doing everything “right” but still feel exhausted and disconnected from our bodies.

We also get into disordered eating, burnout, hormones, spirituality without bypassing the body, and what it actually looks like to lead yourself instead of fighting yourself.

This is about performance and peace, science and soul, and learning to listen to your body instead of bullying it into submission.

Highlights:

(01:41) Why high achieving women feel burnt out even when they’re doing all the right things

(06:47) The hidden cost of extreme dieting and overtraining

(17:06) Strength training as identity, not just aesthetics

(22:40) Simple nervous system regulation that actually works

(29:21) Spirituality without bypassing the body

(38:47) Peptides, hype, healing and what to know before jumping in
