Burnout doesn't have to be the cost of ambition. In this conversation with repeat guest and facilitator Camille Leek, we explore somatic healing and cyclical living for entrepreneurs balancing work and motherhood. Learn how to restore sustainable productivity by aligning with natural cycles- birth, growth, decay, and death-so your nervous system can support big work without collapse.

Instead of chasing forever-summer energy, we map real rhythms for the working mom across a day, week, month, and year: ramp-up mornings that build capacity, focused midweek production, deliberate wind-down evenings, and honest wintering that composts what no longer serves. This is energy management for the creative entrepreneur who refuses to choose between presence and impact. But this isn't about following our exact business or life blueprint, it's about experiencing and then fine tuning your own,

Camille shares how she left a "successful" corporate path after years of chronic fatigue from 60–80 hour weeks and began designing boundaries that fit her biology: no Monday or Friday meetings, session windows that honor nervous system regulation, and planned hibernation months. We unpack the difference between agency and control, the social pressure to perform like a machine, and the quiet violence of self-colonization when worth equals output.

You'll hear concrete examples for mothers and creatives navigating matrescence—how to swap "can't do the park" for "movie cuddle," how to plan launches around menstrual cycle awareness and true energy, and why ramp-down is the missing link between action and real rest. This is holistic health meets sustainable business strategy.

If burnout has you oscillating between go and collapse, this conversation on embodiment and seasonal living offers a map to smoother waves. Expect practical routines for work-life balance, clear boundary scripts, and compassionate language that reframes PMS/PMDD, seasonal lows, and late-year contraction as natural, intelligent responses. The result is fewer, richer outputs; better sleep; more presence at home; and a grounded sense of enoughness that doesn't disappear when your calendar empties.

This is self-care that actually builds capacity-boundaries that create agency in both motherhood and entrepreneurship.

Topics covered: Somatic healing • Burnout recovery • Sustainable productivity • Balancing work and motherhood • Entrepreneur boundaries • Nervous system regulation • Cyclical living • Menstrual cycle awareness • Seasonal planning • Energy management • Working mom strategies • Creative entrepreneur • Capacity building • Embodiment practices • Matrescence • Hormonal health • Launch strategy • Rest as productivity • Chronic fatigue solutions • Business boundaries • Circadian rhythm • Postpartum work • Flexible schedule design • Self-colonization • Work-life balance

We guide a slow body scan that builds safety, sensation, and self-trust by orienting to the room, mapping the body from head to toes, and using breath and imagery to settle the nervous system. We close by reorienting eyes open, reclaiming energy, and choosing a pace that fits what comes next.

• orienting to safety through sight and context
• thanking the planning mind and writing tasks down
• scanning face, neck, shoulders, chest, and heart
• tracking breath, rib cage movement, and core
• sensing hips, legs, feet, and toes with gravity
• visualizing a clear central channel and color
• distinguishing softness, strength, and boundaries
• mapping emotions and locating neutral ground
• gentle movement to restore agency and comfort
• reorienting eyes open and calling energy back

Give yourself permission to pause, to slow down or to speed up, moving, breathing, thinking, feeling, sensing, calling all of your energy back to you, letting go of anything that's not yours

Success once meant strategy, systems, and performance. Now, it means truth, alignment, and peace.

This episode with Kristine Munro, founder of Illume Collective, explores what happens when your definition of success evolves-and your old identity can’t keep up.

We talk about the loneliness of pivot seasons, the power of honest community, and the nervous-system-level recalibration required to lead from authenticity.

Kristine shares how leaving a 20-year successful career, starting over in Denver, and allowing herself to feel like a failurebecame the doorway to her most aligned work yet.

This is the uncomfortable, powerful process of becoming and leadership: when growth looks less like climbing and more like returning.

In this episode Kristine and I dive deep and pretty raw about :

leaving a misaligned career and doing inner work

• founding Illume Collective in Denver, Co for in-person, service-first connection

• authenticity versus the strategic self

• caring what others think without self-betrayal

• polarity, belonging and relational maturity

• duality, luteal season and nervous system reset

• journaling and creative renewal in the hard days when failure is a part of success

• detaching identity from business entities

• human design, potency and aligned formats

• an exclusive look into the next era of Illume and Kristines gifts

• mastermind details and final enrollment window for her Community Builder Mastermind

What if secure attachment isn’t about perfect parenting-but about steady leadership, honest repair, and a strong nervous system you can share with your kids?

In this conversation, therapist and mom of three Hannah Dorscher joins Becca to demystify attachment theory and bring it down to earth. Together they unpack the four attachment styles-secure, avoidant, anxious, and disorganized-and translate them into real-life tools you can use with newborns, toddlers, teens, and even your own relationships.

You’ll learn how to:

1. Build earned secure attachment even if you didn’t have it growing up
2. Repair after rupture (without guilt or over-explaining)
3. Regulate before you co-regulate
4. Use the “30% rule” to release perfectionism
5. Recognize the difference between healthy dysregulation and attachment wounding
6. Create nervous-system rituals that make home feel safe again

From postpartum overwhelm and partnership strain to teen pushback and mom guilt, this episode offers grounded, evidence-based guidance with room for your real life.

About Hannah:

I’m Hannah Dorsher, a therapist and attachment coach who helps moms heal anxiety and attachment wounds so they can feel confident, connected, and at ease in motherhood. With over a decade of experience and a Master’s in Counseling, I empower women to trust their instincts, build secure bonds with their children, and release the pressure and shame of “perfect” parenting.

Motherhood and business can both be holy and hard. I often feel the very real tension between deeply caring about and wanting multiple things in the same season, and also butting up against my capacity and things outside my control. This episode is a love letter to every mom.

I share the behind-the-scenes of a recent emotional upheaval moment where I decided to in real and raw time share the shame, embarrassment, and trying so freaking hard to be able to “hold it all,” the frustration of doing everything right but still feeling off, and the deep relief that came when I stopped trying to fix and started to feel.

We talk about the mental and emotional weight of leadership, emotional regulation, and why success can’t just be measured in numbers when your body, babies, and business are all changing at once.

Themes:
• High-functioning burnout in motherhood
• Emotional capacity as the real metric of success
• Shame, comparison, and the myth of balance and even success
• The relief of being witnessed instead of managed
• Finding steadiness in a tender, full season

Come for the honesty. Stay for the exhale.

We all have patterns that feel like personality, but are actually protection.

In this powerful conversation, Becca is joined by Enneagram teacher Katie Whitlock for a grounded, compassionate look at how the Enneagram helps us see ourselves and others more clearly.

Far beyond a personality test, the Enneagram reveals the why beneath our habits - the motivation, fear, and longing that quietly run the show. Katie, trained by renowned Enneagram teacher Suzanne Stabile, shares how each type has a “repressed center” thinking, feeling, or doing that shapes our blind spots and drives our relationships.

Together, they unpack how understanding these inner patterns through enneagram transforms the way we love, lead, and live and how compassion becomes the natural byproduct of self-awareness.

This isn’t about labeling yourself. It’s about remembering who you are beneath the layers you’ve built to stay safe.

In this episode, we explore:
•What the Enneagram really is — and what it isn’t
•How each type represses thinking, feeling, or doing (and why it matters)
•Why your “blind spots” aren’t flaws but invitations
•How to stop expecting people to process life the same way you do
•The most misunderstood Enneagram types (and what’s really happening underneath)
•How the Enneagram can help you communicate more compassionately with your partner, friends, or kids
•Why true self-knowledge always leads to softer relationships

About Katie:

Katie is an Enneagram educator based in Cincinnati, OH. Having trained under the likes of Suzanne Stabile and Joey Schewee, she has used what she has been taught to create workshops and classes for people in her city (and beyond!) to discover themselves through the Enneagram.

Her latest endeavor includes the recent launch of her newest podcast "Early Access". Working together with Jeff Cook & TJ Wilson from Around the Circle, Katie speaks with young people about their Enneagram number and unique life experiences. She brings a fresh perspective to the Enneagram community and hopes to do so for a long time.
