With Camilla Kahlberg

There comes a moment when the life you’ve built on the outside no longer matches what’s happening on the inside.

You’re capable. Strong. High-performing.
You lead teams. You manage home. You handle pressure.

But privately, you’re exhausted. Disconnected. Running on survival.

In this episode, I sit down with Camilla Kahlberg, founder of She Leads the Authentic Leadership Movement, to talk about the hidden burnout so many high-achieving women experience.

After decades in corporate leadership at BP, Shell, and IBM, Camilla faced a personal breaking point during a painful separation that forced her to confront the illusion of strength she had been living behind.

That unraveling became her turning point.

When Strength Is Actually Performance

Many high-achieving women learn early how to armor up. We become “the strong one.” We perform. We over-function. We push through.

And for a while, it works.

Until our body says no.

Camilla explains how what we call strength is often performance rooted in fear, fear of not being enough, not succeeding, not being worthy. We chase milestones believing achievement will secure our value.

But internally, we’re disconnected from our emotions, intuition, and nervous system. The warning signs show up as tension, anxiety, irritability, or exhaustion, and we override them.

True strength, Camilla says, isn’t constant self-sufficiency. It’s vulnerability. It’s asking for help. It’s regulating your nervous system and leading from wholeness instead of survival.

Rebuilding From the Inside Out

Burnout recovery doesn’t begin with doing more. It begins with being differently.

Camilla shares practical ways to reconnect with your body, notice where fear lives physically, and question the beliefs driving overachievement. She encourages women to ask: Who do I want to be in the room?

That shift moves you from reacting out of old wounds to responding with intention.

We also talk about reclaiming ownership of your calendar, setting boundaries without guilt, and redefining success from the inside out.

When we shift from “do, have, be” to “be, do, have,” everything changes.

If you look strong on the outside but feel stretched thin on the inside, this episode is for you.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

With Colleen Souza

What if discipline didn’t have to feel like a constant power struggle?

So many moms find themselves stuck in the same exhausting cycle. Our kids act out. We react. Everyone feels frustrated. Nothing really changes. We want to raise responsible, respectful kids but most days it feels like we’re just putting out fires.

In this episode, I sit down with nationally recognized educator, leadership coach, and mom Colleen Souza to talk about a different approach. Instead of reacting to behavior with more control, more yelling, or more guilt, Colleen teaches that responsibility grows from something deeper, the values that guide your home.

Through her book Living by the Mantras, Colleen shares 21 simple sayings that transform everyday challenges into teachable moments. This conversation is about shifting from drama to direction.

Moving From Power Struggles to Purpose

Colleen shares how healthy organizations thrive because they operate from clearly defined values. There is alignment. There are expectations. There is unity around what matters most. She challenges us to think: if workplaces with diverse personalities, backgrounds, and perspectives can unite around shared values, why can’t our homes?

We explore how defining a few core family values creates clarity. Respect. Integrity. Responsibility. These values aren’t just words on a wall — they become daily anchors. When paired with simple mantras like “Leave it better than you found it” or “You always have a choice,” they give kids language for behavior and decision-making.

It’s not about controlling behavior. It’s about cultivating character.

Boundaries, Bandwidth & Living by Design

Values don’t replace boundaries, they strengthen them. Colleen explains how values, mantras, and boundaries work together.

We also talk about something so practical and often overlooked: developmental capacity. Many power struggles happen because we expect more than our kids can realistically handle. When we understand their bandwidth, their age, their limits, their emotional capacity, we parent more intentionally and less reactively.

One of the most powerful takeaways is this: you don’t have to overhaul everything to begin. Start small. Choose one value. Define it clearly. Create a mantra that reflects it. Model it consistently.

You don’t have to wait for your spouse to be fully on board. You don’t need a perfect family meeting. You are a leader in your home. You can begin. When values become your compass, discipline shifts from chaos to clarity. From reacting on default to parenting by design.

If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who’s tired of the power struggles.

Episode 50: Real Tools for Handling Anger, Conflict & Parenting Triggers
With Davina Hehn

So many of us were never actually taught how to feel our emotions, communicate clearly under stress, or handle conflict in healthy ways. We were told to stay calm. To not overreact. To “just communicate better.” But without real tools, we often end up repeating the same emotional cycles we grew up with.

And parenting? Parenting exposes all of it.
The triggers we didn’t know we had suddenly surface. Old wounds get activated. Reactions happen faster than we can think. And we’re left wondering, Why does this keep happening? And how do I actually change it?

In this episode, I sit down with therapist, coach, and podcast host Davina Hehn, who teaches emotional regulation and conflict skills to individuals, couples, and parents. Through her work, she realized most people were never taught the foundational skills needed to navigate anger or emotional intensity in the first place.

Rethinking Anger & Emotional Triggers
This conversation reframes anger completely. Instead of seeing it as something to suppress or tightly manage, Davina explains how anger can actually be information. A signal. An advocate for change.

We talk about the shame that surrounds anger, especially for women, and how that shame keeps us isolated and stuck. Davina breaks down the neurobiology of triggers, explaining how our bodies react in a fraction of a second, before our brain even has language for what’s happening.

Parenting often magnifies unresolved wounds. The boundary crossings, the noise, the overwhelm, they connect to experiences we may not even realize are still active. Moving from self-judgment to curiosity becomes a powerful shift. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” we begin asking, “What is this connected to?”

That shift alone changes everything.

A Practical Framework for Real Change
Self-awareness is important, but it isn’t enough. Knowing why we react doesn’t automatically change the reaction.

Davina shares her SHIFT framework, a practical, repeatable way to move through anger and conflict in real time. Instead of trying to eliminate anger or strive for perfection, she focuses on healing, repair, and innovation. Small, intentional changes that create ripple effects over time.

We talk about repairing with your kids in ways that build trust, how to take responsibility without shame, and why growth isn’t dramatic, it’s incremental. It’s messy. It’s practiced.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be willing to take the next small step.

If you’ve ever felt triggered in ways that surprised you…
If you’ve felt shame around your anger…
If you’re determined to break generational patterns…
This episode will give you language, tools, and hope.
