Why do you still feel overwhelmed even when everything in your life looks “successful”? In this episode, I sit down with somatic expert Liz Tenuto to talk about how unresolved stress and trauma can shape your energy, your health, and even your success. We dive into how high-achieving women often live in a constant state of fight, flight, or functional freeze and how that impacts everything from your energy and sleep to your relationships and decision-making. Tune in to learn how somatic exercises help release stored stress and regulate your nervous system.
