Ever struggle to follow through on your health, self-care and business goals - even when you know what to do?

In this episode, I break down the three emotional systems that drive our behaviours: Threat, Drive, and Soothe. You’ll learn how these systems evolved, how they show up in your day-to-day patterns, and why so many people get stuck in a loop of all-or-nothing thinking, self-criticism, and burnout.

By the end, you'll understand how to start working with your emotions, not against them
