They share three simple, realistic ways to stay consistent — logging your food, staying active, and checking in with yourself weekly — plus what to do when motivation is nowhere to be found.

So many women are burned out not because they aren’t capable — but because they’ve spent years believing their worth depended on being the one who holds everything together.

In this episode, we sit down with Erisa Nakano, founder of Live Restfully, who helps high-performing women recover from burnout rooted in demanding careers, caretaker roles, and deeply ingrained beliefs about responsibility and value. Erisa shares her own aha moment — the realization that things began to shift when she stopped trying to earn her worth by always being the strong one.

We talk about what happens when women realize they don’t need to prove themselves anymore — especially for those who grew up as eldest daughters or took on that role early, learning to carry emotional weight in silence after being let down too many times. Erisa reflects on spending decades trying to prove her value to others, only to discover it was herself she was trying to convince she was worthy all along.

During the conversation, Erisa even guides Teresa through a powerful, real-time breakthrough, offering listeners an intimate look at how belief shifts can create immediate relief and clarity.

This episode is for the woman who’s tired of apologizing for choosing herself, done drowning in silence, and ready to release the idea that rest, boundaries, or support have to be earned.
