If your business looks great on paper but you’re secretly fantasising about quitting it all and running away to sit under a tree,  that’s one big way your body is calling for your attention.  Too many women are running businesses that look good on the outside but leave them feeling hollow and numb on the inside.  

In this episode, I make the case for why your business needs to feel good in your body, and how that is different from only doing things when it feels good.  If you’ve been burning out in your business, or if you've feeling disconnected or flat, like you’re ticking boxes in a business that technically works but doesn’t feel (or even sound or look) like you anymore, this one’s for you.

🎧 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why doing only what “feels good” can keep you stuck in sabotage
• How nervous system constriction quietly shapes your choices (and your burnout cycles)
• What it really takes to reconnect to your body’s truth so that you business habits don't burn you out. 
• The two key foundations every sustainable, soul-fed business needs

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Your sabotage patterns are smart (and could even mask as intuition)
• You can’t mindset your way out of a nervous system that brakes.
• When your inner world matches how you show up in your business, that congruence becomes a superpower. 

📌 Take Action:
➡️ Do the embodiment practice I share towards the end, to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and let me know your experience!

We’ve been told that being calm, cool, and collected is the goal. That if we want to be successful, magnetic, abundant we better get our emotions in check.  But what if that’s the very thing keeping you stuck? What if the self-management you’ve been praised for… is actually self-abandonment?

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the emotional control myth that so many driven women are living inside without even realizing it. I talk about the sneaky ways we micromanage ourselves in the name of “growth,” how that internal tension shows up in real life (like second-guessing every idea or hanging in the back of the room), and why your nervous system (and not your mindset) holds the key to an abundant life. 

🧭 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why emotional suppression isn’t emotional mastery (and why it’s doing more harm than good)
• The subtle ways “self-control” becomes self-abandonment
• How micromanaging your inner world leads to disconnection, numbness, and eventually emotional burnout
• What embodiment actually means (hint: it’s not just “feeling your feelings”)
• The link between nervous system safety and your ability to receive (abundance, love, ease, all of it)

💥 Key Takeaways:

• Managing yourself isn’t the goal. Being yourself is.
• You can’t mindset your way into safety. Your nervous system will always win.
• Emotional suppression isn’t mature, it’s exhausting.
• Feeling safe to be who you are = the foundation for sustainable abundance.
• Wholeness is about bringing all of you home.

🌀 Take Action:
➡️ Stop trying to be "in control" of your emotions. Instead, notice where you're micromanaging yourself in real-time.

Have you ever asked yourself if it's actually possible to create a better, more abundant life on the other side of burnout? If you're feeling stuck, numb, or directionless after burning out, even after ticking all the "recovery" boxes this episode is for you. 

In this episode I share some of my own journey plus what I wish I knew.  If you’re ready to finally drop the masks, tap into your true self, and manifest a better life, this episode gives you a new, deeper roadmap to abundance that starts from the inside out.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

➡️Why doing all the right things isn’t always enough for real healing and shift.

➡️How your nervous system and internal sense of safety are actually the keys to manifesting meaningful change.

➡️How feminine embodiment helps you reclaim your full, authentic self (and why “manifesting hacks” on their own just don’t cut it).

➡️Why we unconsciously keep ourselves small, stuck, or running old patterns, even when we desperately want more.

Key takeaways:

✅Manifesting a better life isn’t just about thinking good thoughts or forcing mind power. It’s about feeling safe enough to be yourself - fully and unapologetically.

✅Your nervous system must come on board before your intentions can really take root.

 ✅Internal safety mutes your inner critic and frees up your life force energy for what truly matters.

✅As long as you’re hiding who you are or battling unseen, old stories, even your best effort will keep you circling the life you want, but never fully living in it.

In this episode, I’m joined by my 1:1 client Denita Acker for a conversation about what shifted when she stopped living in her head, and started listening to her body.

Denita lives and works in Washington D.C., in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. She had already worked with mindset coaches and understood the power of thought, but something deeper was calling to her while processing a break-up.  That experience led her to explore feminine embodiment coaching.

In this conversation, Denita shares what she began to notice as she dropped into her body: tightness in her chest, her jaw, her shoulders, and how learning to meet herself in those moments of tension slowly created a new kind of internal safety.

We talk about how this practice has helped her stop spiraling when things feel out of control, how she’s learned to name and trust her desires, and what it means to feel safe without needing to prove anything.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• What drew Denita to embodiment work 
• How she began noticing chronic physical tension, and what she did with that awareness
• How she now responds to challenge, emotion, and uncertainty from a more grounded place
• What she discovered about softness, safety, and the parts of herself she hadn’t known how to access before

Key Reflections from Denita’s Story:

• Internal safety shows up in the small moments
• Learning to feel again (after years of holding tension) requires vulnerability and presence
• The practices she worked with in between sessions were a huge part of what supported her deeper change
• Desire, for her, wasn’t just about naming what she wanted, it was about believing she was allowed to want it at all

Key Quotes:

“The biggest shift that I noticed is that I came home to myself. It's like I belong. I still get emotional when I share that." - Denita Acker

“You can’t intellectualize your way into a life of freedom. You have to feel it in your body.” -Tertia Riegler

“When I'm in control of myself, I don't need to control the world around me and I can connect better.  I'm more connected because I don't need to control." - Denita Acker

You’ve journaled until your wrist hurts. You’ve repeated affirmations like a good student. You’ve got the vision board, the podcast playlists, the books stacked beside your bed…

And yet, when you finally clear a weekend just for you, you spend half of it anxious and scrolling, with a gnawing feeling that you should do something more productive.  You let someone in - just a  little - and then you find yourself pulling back, suddenly overwhelmed and convinced that it’s just not going to work.   And what about that time when you got a financial windfall, and you walk around for a walk feeling a little nauseous.  

If any of this sounds familiar, this episode will help you stop judging yourself for those responses, and start making sense of what’s actually going on beneath the surface. We’re talking about nervous system contraction, capacity, and the missing piece in how your body might still be bracing against the very life you’re trying to step into.

➡️What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The real reason why mindset work and manifesting often don't stick (even when you're doing all the right things)
• How subtle nervous system contractions sabotage your ability to receive, hold, and sustain abundance
• Why you can’t out-think scarcity if your body still feels like it’s not safe to have more
• The difference between regulation and embodiment (and why that distinction matters)

➡️Key Takeaways:

• Calling in abundance is about capacity more so than about mindset.  
• If your body is not on board, you’ll keep sabotaging what you’re trying to manifest.
• Visualization, affirmations, and mindset work are beautiful but incomplete without nervous system safety.
• You can’t create an expansive life while living in contraction.

You’re showing up, you’re delivering and no one disagrees about it.  You care deeply.

And still, your numbers are low, your offer isn’t landing, and someone else on Instagram just filled their free workshop in 30 seconds.

In this episode, I’m naming a common experience: what it feels like when your business isn’t gaining traction, and how to respond without spiraling into self-doubt. When it feels like your business isn’t working, it’s not just about the numbers. It’s the self-doubt and the second-guessing that creeps in quietly that is the bigger problem.

I offer you five clear, practical shifts that will help you recalibrate when things aren’t landing the way you expected. 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What you might be missing when your offer flops (and how to fix it without overhauling everything)
• The most common trap that keeps women stuck in comparison and burnout
• How to stop taking your business results personally (this one’s non-negotiable)
• What season your business is in, and why ignoring this burns your energy
• A smarter way to use the data you're already getting (instead of panicking about what’s not working)

Key Takeaways

• Stop comparing apples to oranges.
• Your offer needs to solve a clear problem. 
• Business is numbers. 
• Honor the season you’re in. 
• Unsubscribes are data, not rejection.

Take Action

• Your numbers don’t define you.  Look at them as feedback, and not a reflection of who you are as a person.

Do you ever feel like you’ve got everything in hand, but secretly, you feel nothing at all? You’re getting things done, and you are showing up.  Your productivity is through the roof … but inside, you feel like you have flatlined?  

Go energy isn’t bad. We need it. It gets things done. It keeps life moving forward. But when it's the only mode you know how to live in is when things start to break down. If you never lift your foot off the pedal, eventually something’s going to crash.

In this episode, we’re talking about what’s really happening when you’re stuck in constant go mode (it’s also often referred to as “masculine doing”).  I also dive into why it most likely has everything to do with your nervous system and safety.  

Tune in to discover why you might feel like you can’t rest (even when you want to), and the deeper connection between overdrive and emotional safety.

Do you roll your eyes when someone says “You just need to learn how to say no”?  Me too.  Because if you could, you would, right?  

Setting boundaries is something that many women struggle with.  We've been socialised to be accommodating, helpful, and selfless and healthy boundaries can feel like a direct contrast of that. For high achievers this struggle  could even be worse when your internal boundaries are overridden by your internal drive.

Boundaries are core to how safe you feel being yourself.  And we all know that reactive boundaries aren’t sustainable.  

In this week’s episode I get into why setting boundaries is definitely not mindset work, and how creating internal safety is the first step to setting embodied boundaries.

Feeling stretched too thin, taking on things that aren’t really yours to carry? Maybe you know your boundaries could be stronger, but you're not sure where to start? In this episode Tertia dives into how lacking boundaries can quietly push you toward burnout, especially for women who are constantly juggling responsibilities.

Tertia breaks down how weak or leaky boundaries can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin and why setting boundaries from a place of deep self-trust (instead of guilt or overthinking) can bring a sense of balance and ease. She unpacks the struggles of holding strong boundaries in both work and personal life, the fear of upsetting people, and how we’ve been taught to put everyone else first.  This episode will offer you guidance on how to reconnect with your body's truth and stand strong in your boundaries, finally breaking out of the burnout cycle.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Find out what boundaries really are (hint: they’re not just about keeping people out).
• See how shaky boundaries can quietly drain your energy and lead to burnout.
• Learn the difference between setting boundaries in your head vs. actually feeling them in your body and why that matters.
• Discover why the usual “just say no” approach often backfires, leaving you exhausted and guilty.

Key Takeaways:

• Boundaries are deeply ingrained in your body's truth.
• When your boundaries are weak, work and personal life start blending, leaving you drained.
• Embodied boundaries come from within and naturally shape how you show up.
• The fear of upsetting people can push you to overdo things, leading to exhaustion.

Take Action:

• Pay attention to how your body reacts in different situations as it’ll tell you where you need better boundaries.

When you know whether these burnout-archetypes are running point in your life it gives you the power to create change.  

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep hitting burnout even when you “know better”, or why, no matter how many times you promise yourself you’ll slow down, set better boundaries, or stop overcommitting… you somehow end up right back feeling stretched too thin, this episode is for you.

There are unconscious patterns running in the background of your life, shaping how you show up, how you work, and how you push yourself beyond your limits.They’re strategies you picked up along the way to feel safe, loved, and successful. And they worked very well at some point in your life but now they are just keeping you trapped.

What we cover in this episode:

• Why these archetypes form and why they feel so normal
• How they get wired into your nervous system
• How they show up in your life (and business)
• Why mindset work and affirmations aren’t enough to create change, and what actually works
