À propos de ce contenu audio

Embrace the Squiggle is the podcast about navigating change in work, identity, leadership, and life with intention. Because change happens. Growth is a choice.


This show explores the honest, human stories behind reinvention. From career pivots and leadership shifts to identity crises, mindset shifts, and unexpected detours, each episode dives into what it really looks like to move through uncertainty instead of waiting for clarity.


Our guests share candid stories of obstacles, failures, breakthroughs, and hard-earned lessons. Not because they had it all figured out but because they chose growth in the middle of the mess.


Each week, Colleen DelVecchio and Ashleigh Beadle unpack the pivots, pauses, leaps of faith, and “what am I even doing?” moments that shape a non-linear life. This isn’t about chasing a straight line. It’s about building the mindset and courage to evolve on purpose.

  • The High-Achiever’s Guide to Energy, Sleep & Avoiding Burnout with Tanessa Shears
    Apr 15 2026

    What if the thing holding your career back… isn’t your ambition but your energy?

    In this episode of Embrace the Squiggle, Colleen and Jen dive into a topic every high-achiever needs but often ignores: sleep, energy, and sustainable performance.

    They’re joined by Tanessa Shears, a sleep and performance specialist who has spent over a decade helping entrepreneurs and leaders eliminate brain fog, prevent burnout, and build the physical and cognitive capacity to perform at a high level without running themselves into the ground.

    But this conversation goes beyond optimization.

    After reaching financial independence at 35, Tanessa stepped away from her business and spent 18 months traveling the world with her family. She returned not just rested—but with a completely reset nervous system, a new perspective on hustle culture, and clarity on what sustainable success actually looks like.

    We unpack why so many ambitious professionals are unknowingly burning themselves out, how to recognize the early warning signs (even when everything looks “fine” on the outside), and what small shifts can dramatically improve your energy, focus, and long-term performance.

    If you’ve been feeling constantly tired, stuck in brain fog, or questioning whether success has to come at the cost of your wellbeing—this episode is your permission to do things differently.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why high-achievers are especially prone to burnout (and how to spot it early)
    • What’s actually happening in your body when you experience brain fog
    • The hidden cost of hustle culture—and why it stops working
    • What a “reset nervous system” really feels like in real life
    • Simple, science-backed habits to improve your sleep, energy, and focus
    • How to sustain high performance without sacrificing your health
