Journaling is often prescribed as a tool for healing—but for high-functioning leaders, it can sometimes lead to emotional spiraling, not clarity. In this episode, we unpack why journaling without grounding re-traumatizes instead of releases—and how to journal in a way that supports your nervous system, not just your thoughts.

If you’ve ever walked away from a "professional" conversation feeling confused, small, or responsible for someone else’s emotions—this is for you.

You’ve followed the rules. Kept it polished. Hustled to “look the part.”

But what if the very image that made you feel successful is now burning you out?

While I’m away this week on a much-needed family break, I’m re-airing one of my most downloaded—and most eye-opening—episodes.

We’re pulling back the curtain on curated living: how it hijacks your clarity, feeds imposter syndrome, and robs your business of real momentum.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to perform or exhausted by pretending, this one is for you.

You keep rescuing, overgiving, and staying too long.
You know it’s not healthy—but it feels impossible to stop. Why?

Because your brain isn’t the only thing involved—your body is.

In this episode, we explore how hormones like oxytocin and dopamine keep you biologically tied to toxic or imbalanced relationships—and how codependency is less about personality and more about survival wiring.

You’ll learn how to reset your body’s “love loop” and build safe, stable connections that don’t cost your identity.

You called it chemistry—but it was actually chaos.
If you’ve ever chased a relationship that felt electric but left you anxious, you’re not alone. Love addiction is real, and it’s not just emotional—it’s biological.

In this raw episode, I unpack how dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline can trap us in unhealthy intimacy patterns. You’ll learn how to break the spell, trust your body again, and stop confusing fantasy for connection.

We’re not just talking psychology—we’re exposing the hidden science behind trauma bonds.
