In today’s episode, you’ll hear a powerful and deeply relatable conversation about burnout, over-responsibility, and what happens when being “the strong one” starts to take a toll.

Erika Navarro is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, from Colombia and used to work in Los Angeles. She’s also a mother, wife, and the founder of Healing Souls by Erika, where she offers courses and support that blend nervous system healing, emotional wellness, and somatic practices for both women and men.

For years, Erika lived in survival mode - high-functioning on the outside but disconnected within. It wasn’t until anxiety, burnout and exhaustion brought her to a breaking point that she began to listen to the whisper in her body… and chose a different way.

In this honest and grounded conversation, Erika shares how she let go of over-performing, embraced softness and rest, and redefined what true strength means. We talk about healing cultural patterns, honouring your nervous system, and the freedom that comes when you stop trying to hold it all together alone.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be coping just fine, but deep down, something doesn’t feel right, this episode will speak directly to your heart.

By the end, you’ll feel seen, soothed, and reminded that you don’t have to wait for a crisis to choose something better.
