We get it. You're juggling work, family, that never-ending pile of laundry, and maybe—just maybe—trying to squeeze in a self-care moment (that usually gets sacrificed for something "more important"). But here’s the deal: If you keep running yourself into the ground, you won’t be able to keep up with the life you’re working so hard to build. Dr. Lahana Vigliano, a functional medicine expert, is here to shake things up and tell us the truth about what our bodies have been screaming at us. From gut health to stress, metabolism, and why your kids are watching your every move, she breaks down exactly why taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s a necessity. Your health isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better. If you’re constantly running on fumes, ignoring symptoms, and putting everyone else first, you’re not just making it harder for yourself—you’re setting the stage for long-term health problems. It’s time to reframe self-care. It’s not indulgent, and it’s not selfish—it’s essential. So, take a breath, check your plate, and schedule something fun. Your future self (and your family) will thank you for it.

You’re exhausted.
Not just physically. Emotionally. You’re running a household, keeping up with your career, holding the family calendar together, and still somehow managing the grocery list. You’re the default parent, the peacekeeper, the one who never stops, even when you should be resting. And somewhere in between the laundry and the late-night emails, you’ve lost the version of yourself that wasn’t running on fumes.

I’m Veronica Cisneros, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, wife, and mom of three. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected from your spouse, stuck in silent power struggles over household chores, and torn between excelling in your career and actually enjoying your family. I’ve been the people-pleaser, the overachiever, the one trying to “hold it all together” while anxiety worked overtime behind the scenes.

On Empowered and Unapologetic, we’re ditching the guilt and having the conversations no one’s having at the PTA meeting. Here, you’ll get real talk and therapist-backed strategies on:

• Navigating marriage when it feels more like a business partnership than a relationship.
• Breaking the cycle of over-functioning and learning to rest without guilt.
• Sharing the mental and physical load at home—without another chore chart that no one uses.
• Shutting down power-pleasing patterns that leave you drained and resentful.
• Managing the anxiety that comes from constantly being “on.”

If you’re tired of looking like you have it all together while feeling like you’re falling apart, you’re in the right place. This is your space to breathe, laugh, and rebuild connection, without having to compromise yourself in the process.

Let’s do this together.
