In the final episode of Season 1, I sit down with trauma-informed performance coach Steph Ellen; formerly an overthinking, high-achieving equine veterinarian who built a life that looked perfect on paper while quietly burning out underneath it.

Steph shares how her body finally forced her to stop, and how that rupture pulled her into the world of nervous system work, trauma repair, and what she now calls sustainable success; success that doesn’t require self-abandonment.

We explore:
• The real signs of burnout and dissociation in the body
• Why sensitivity was never the issue
• The shift from overachieving to inner alignment
• How she works with highly sensitive, big-hearted high performers
• What refuels her creativity and clarity
• How she embraced social media with authenticity—and held the capacity for an 8-million-view viral moment
• Why visibility is naturally polarising
• The role of creativity in healing and integration

Steph speaks with honesty, nuance, and grounded wisdom about what it means to build a life and a business that your nervous system can actually hold.

A beautiful close to Season 1 of Choosing Woo in my opinion!
