The Art of Neutral: How to Stop Without Stopping with Tiffeny Parker

High performers talk a lot about burnout — but few can explain what’s actually happening inside your body or how to fix it when time and money feel tight. In this episode, Kaitlin sits down with Tiffeny Parker, dual Team USA athlete turned executive coach and founder of SideTracked, to decode stress, burnout, and what it really means to perform at your best. You’ll learn why cortisol isn’t the enemy, how to master the art of neutral, and the small, free resets that help you feel clear, calm, and capable again.

We start with the mindset. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be able to handle this by now,” you’ll love Tiffeny’s Should Audit — a powerful exercise that redefines self-compassion as a performance edge. From there, we go deeper into the body: breathwork, nervous system recovery, warm-up and cool-down rituals for daily life, and how to tune in instead of burn out.

You’ll also hear how gut repair might be the missing link to your energy, why hormones hit different in your 30s, 40s, and 50s, and what functional medicine testing can reveal that your regular lab work misses. This conversation blends science, soul, and strategy — the kind of dialogue that makes you exhale and realize: you’ve never been here before, and that’s exactly why you deserve grace.
