Are you a high-achieving woman who knows what to do to support your health…but you still push past your limits, silence your own needs, and operate in chronic survival mode?

You’re not alone.

In this powerful episode of Hopeful & Wholesome, I’m joined by Dr. Kelly Kessler, physical therapist, transformation coach, and host of the globally-ranked podcast Rewiring Health®. Kelly specializes in helping high-achieving women recognize the sneaky patterns of self-abandonment (hello people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overgiving 👀) and heal the nervous system dysregulation that keeps the body stuck in stress and burnout.

We dive deep into how self-abandonment shapes your health, hormones, and emotional wellbeing,  and how to begin honoring yourself again without losing your ambition or impact.

If you’ve been operating with everyone else’s needs at the top of the list, this conversation is your permission slip to take your power back and put you on the priority list. 💛

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The many ways self-abandonment sneaks into the life of a high-achieving woman
• Why burnout isn’t a mindset issue,  it’s a nervous system issue
• How perfectionism and people-pleasing create chronic stress patterns in the body
• The health consequences of constantly overriding your needs
• The role of the subconscious mind in keeping you stuck (and how to rewire it)
• Simple, powerful shifts to move from survival mode into thriving
• What self-loyalty looks like, and how to start practicing it daily
