If you've ever found yourself deep-cleaning the kitchen or running "quick" errands instead of doing the thing you actually planned to do… this episode is for you.

You'll learn how the freeze stress response quietly drives procrastination — especially for high-achieving women who are constantly in motion. You'll see how perfectionism and pressure can make you feel stuck even when you're busy, and how to finally catch those moments where you're "doing everything except the thing."

In this episode, we're diving into the fight response—what I call The Advocate. If you're the woman who pushes harder when life gets messy, who double-downs and powers through even when you're exhausted, this one's for you. We'll unpack how the same drive that fuels our success at work and home can quietly sabotage our consistency and keep us stuck in the stress-weight cycle.

Instead of trying to be "more disciplined," we'll explore what's really going on under the surface—how stress, cortisol, and unchecked emotions drive urges, cravings, and burnout. You'll learn how to regulate our stress, reclaim our energy, and stay consistent without needing more willpower.

The holidays are here — and so are the endless parties, deadlines, and emotions that make it feel impossible to stay on plan. But what if stress wasn't the villain? What if understanding how your body and brain respond to stress could help you finally stay consistent through the busiest season of the year?

In this first episode of the Stress Type Mini-Series, we're diving into the Flight Response — also known as The Escapist. You'll learn why your brain feels pulled toward the pantry (or the wine glass) when life gets hectic, and how to retrain it without more willpower or rules.

Ever catch yourself talking your way out of doing what you said you'd do?

Maybe it's skipping your workout, changing your food plan "just this once," or promising you'll start fresh Monday. This episode dives into that exact moment — the subtle mental negotiation that quietly steals your consistency, confidence, and results.

We'll unpack why negotiation is completely normal (not a willpower problem!) and how to build the real skill that creates lasting freedom — the ability to keep your foot on the gas even when your brain is trying to talk you out of it.

Sometimes, the real breakthrough isn't in doing more of what you're good at — it's in finally turning toward the skill you've been quietly avoiding. In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story that sparked the idea: you are only as strong as your weakest skill.

For so many high-achieving women, the gap that's holding us back isn't obvious. It's usually the skill we avoid, the one hiding in plain sight. Once you identify it and give it the attention it deserves, your results can change fast.
