408: Cure Your Busy Brain with Dr. Romie Mushtaq
No matter your profession or lifestyle, you would probably agree that stress levels are at an all-time high. In our post-pandemic world, we have “busy brains” that affect us personally and impact leadership at a crisis level in organizations. Join us for today’s episode to hear an actionable approach that individuals and leaders can implement immediately for immediate stress relief and long-term wellness.
Dr. Romie Mushtaq is a triple board-certified physician, award-winning speaker, and national media expert. She mixes her unique authority in neurology, integrative medicine, and mindfulness to transform cultures and teams. Serving as the Chief Wellness Officer at Great Wolf Resorts, she uses digital solutions for whole-person wellness for over 12,000 employees. She is a leading authority in stress management and workplace wellness leadership serving professional athletes, Fortune 500 companies, and global organizations. Her TEDx talk, “The Powerful Secret of Your Breath,” has over 500,000 views, and her book, The Busy Brain Cure, is a national USA Today and Amazon bestseller.
Show Highlights:
- Dr. Romie’s transition from traditional medicine to a focus on stress management
- The problem: High achievers get stuck in the stress success cycle.
- “The way your brain knows how to achieve is by living on the edge of burnout where stress is a badge of honor.”
- Characteristics of a busy brain
- The importance of knowing your brain score (Take the Busy Brain Test for FREE!)
- Steps in the Busy Brain Cure:
- Replace self-judgment with self-awareness.
- Make brain shifts in your micro habits.
- Restore your sleep.
- Results Dr. Romie has seen from the Busy Brain protocol
- The impact of overlooked thyroid disease

If you’re a coach who wants to grow—not just check a box—this is for you.
I’m enrolling coaches now for my Spring Mentoring Program. Some are here for credentialing hours. Others are here because they want to become the coach their clients rave about.
Inside the program, we work on your actual coaching.
You’ll hear yourself differently.
Learn from other coaches.
Develop more presence.
And ask questions that create real transformation.
If you’re ready to deepen your skills and your impact, I’d love to support you.

Mentor Program
If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.
It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show. That’s https://starcoachshow.com/mentor/ to grab your spot or to learn more. I'd love to work with you. Now, let's get into today's show.
