Breaking Free From Perfectionism & Pressure

anxiety awareness high functioning anxiety highly sensitive woman patterns perfection perfectionism perfectionist self sabotage Apr 02, 2025

I used to believe that if I wasn’t doing everything perfectly, I was failing. I felt this pressure in every area of my life—whether it was in my business, my relationships, or how I managed my health. The weight of trying to do everything “right” and avoid mistakes was overwhelming. I believed I had to show up at my best all the time to succeed. But that mindset was slowly chipping away at my peace of mind.

It wasn’t just about doing my work perfectly or meeting others' expectations—it was about maintaining this image of someone who had it all together, someone who never dropped the ball. But no matter how hard I tried to keep it up, I was constantly fighting a losing battle. The more I tried to perfect everything, the more anxious I became. And the more anxious I became, the more I felt like I was failing.

This constant striving for perfection only intensified with the chaos of the world around me. With so much uncertainty, division, and pressure, I found myself feeling like I was c...

How I Stopped Letting Anxiety Run the Show (And Became the Most Grounded Person in Any Room)

Uncategorized Mar 06, 2025

For years, I thought anxiety was just who I was.

Some days, I could fight through it. Other days, it swallowed me whole. But no matter what, it was always there—buzzing in the background, making me second-guess myself, overthink every decision, and work harder just to feel some sense of control.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was caught in a cycle:

➡ Anxiety pushed me to work harder → Overworking burned me out → Burnout made my anxiety worse → So I kept pushing, hoping the next effort would finally bring relief.

Spoiler alert: It never did.

Because the truth is, you can’t outrun something that’s inside you.

The Shift That Changed Everything

I’ll never forget the first time I truly took control of my mind.

I was exhausted—mentally, emotionally, physically. I had spent years trying to manage my anxiety, but deep down, I was still at its mercy.

Then, I learned something that changed everything:

🔹 I didn’t have to work harder to feel better.
🔹 I didn’t have to push throu...

Stop Managing Anxiety—It’s Time to Rewire It for Good

anxiety anxiety overdrive syndrome movement movement is medicine podcast guest podcast host stress Feb 12, 2025

For years, I thought anxiety was something I just had to manage. Deep breaths, journaling, mindset work—I tried it all. And while those things helped for a moment, the anxiety always came back. I’d still wake up exhausted before the day even started. My mind still ran in endless loops of overthinking, self-doubt, and what-ifs.

What I didn’t realize? Anxiety isn’t just in your head. It’s in your nervous system.

If you feel like anxiety keeps running the show—like no matter how much you try to “calm down,” your body won’t cooperate—it’s not because you’re doing something wrong. Your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. And until you shift it at the source, you’ll keep feeling drained, overwhelmed, and on edge.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to stay in survival mode. You can rewire your nervous system so calm becomes your natural state. You can wake up feeling clear, grounded, and in control. You can run your business and life with confidence, focus, and energy—without the c...

Why High Achieving Women Struggle with Anxiety

Uncategorized Feb 05, 2025

If you’re a high-achieving woman—driven, ambitious, and deeply passionate about making an impact—you probably know anxiety all too well. You might wake up already feeling behind, your mind racing with to-dos, expectations, and that relentless pressure to keep it all together. I see you. I’ve been there. And I want you to know something important: your anxiety is not a personal failing.

In fact, the very traits that make you successful—your perfectionism, creativity, and deep sense of responsibility—can also be the biggest contributors to your anxiety. Let’s dive into why this happens and, more importantly, how you can finally break free.

Why High-Achieving Women Are More Prone to Anxiety

If you’ve ever wondered, Why do I feel so anxious even when I’m doing everything “right”?—you’re not alone. The truth is, high-achieving women often struggle with anxiety because of:

Grief Leave: Finding Healing Through Compassion, Movement, and Self-Care

grief grief leave mental health for entrepreneurs movement movement is medicine podcast host purposeful powerhouse podcast Jan 29, 2025

Grief is a journey I never imagined I’d face so deeply, but when we had to put our sweet 16 year old Bailey doggo down I realized I had to choose how to move through it.

For me, that choice was "grief leave." I gave myself permission to pause—to feel, reflect, and heal instead of pushing forward like nothing had changed. In this blog, I want to share what I’ve learned about navigating loss with compassion, movement, and self-care, and how these tools have transformed my healing process.

Grief isn’t just an emotional experience—it’s physical, mental, and spiritual. In Hawaiian culture, there’s a concept called kaumaha, which translates to “heaviness.” It beautifully describes how grief feels in the body: a weight that slows us down. Instead of resisting it, I’ve learned to honor that heaviness. Grief has taught me that it’s not something to “fix” but something to hold gently and move through with grace.

The Many Layers of Grief
Grief comes in different forms. For me, it wasn’t just th...
