You’re crushing it on paper—but inside? You’re feeling fried.


If your standards are sky-high, your to-do list never ends, and your nervous system feels like it’s hanging on by a thread, this episode is your wake-up call.


In today’s episode, we’re breaking down what happens when perfectionism becomes a nervous system survival strategy—and why it’s one of the earliest (and sneakiest) signs of burnout.


We’re diving into:
 ✔️ The real root of perfectionism (hint: it’s not just about high standards)
 ✔️ 5 subtle but powerful signs you’re burning out—and might not know it
 ✔️ How to rewire the pressure to “get it right” and build nervous system safety instead


If you’ve been wondering why you can’t relax… why nothing ever feels good enough… or why success feels so exhausting—this one’s for you.


🎧 Hit play and grab the free Nervous System Reset Guide (linked below) to start rewiring for real peace and presence—no perfection required.
