What if the reason you're not healing… is because you're trying too hard?

After beating breast cancer, Bridget was told she was "fine" — but inside, she felt anxious, overwhelmed, and completely lost on how to move forward. Like so many high-achieving women, she tried to do more, fix more, and push harder… until she discovered that her body didn't need more effort — it needed safety.

In this episode of Push Pause to Heal, Dr. Emily Roedersheimer and Bridget unpack the powerful shift from fight-or-flight to calm, grounded healing, and how slowing down became the turning point in her recovery.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why doing more can actually block your healing
• How small, simple shifts create lasting change
• The hidden role of stress in chronic symptoms and recovery

This conversation is your reminder that you're not broken — your body is asking for something different. And sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do… is pause.
