In this episode of Juicy Bits, we explore how overworking, perfectionism and constant striving are often rooted in an unregulated nervous system rather than true desire. For women who have built successful lives yet feel exhausted, disconnected or unsatisfied, this conversation offers a powerful reframe: you’re not broken—you’re adapted.

We unpack how stress responses like overfunctioning, people-pleasing, and hyper-independence can quietly shape business, relationships and intimacy. You’ll learn why slowing down can feel unsafe, why rest may trigger guilt, and why pleasure can feel out of reach—even when life looks good on paper.

This episode invites you into a new way of living and leading—one grounded in nervous system regulation, self-trust and embodied pleasure instead of survival mode. We explore what it means to shift from hustle to flow, from self-abandonment to self-connection and from proving your worth to actually feeling it in your body.

If you’re a driven woman craving more intimacy, more pleasure, and a deeper connection to yourself—without burning everything down—this episode is for you.
