High-achieving on the outside, exhausted on the inside? In this episode, Audrey sits down with Dr. Kelly Kessler (PT) to unpack the quiet patterns that keep driven women stuck in overwork, people-pleasing, and burnout—and how to build a self-loyal life instead.

We cover:

• The breaking point: full-time PT + adjunct teaching + building a house + new baby + pandemic furloughs—and the moment she realized she’d missed her son’s first 9 months on autopilot.
• Breadcrumbs out of survival mode: yoga → breathwork → nervous system tools → mindset shifts → starting a business that mirrored what needed healing.
• Tools that actually help: inner child work, vagus-nerve stimulation, EFT/tapping, breathwork, and belief work (what’s the behavior really protecting?).
• Fear vs. love decisions: same actions, totally different energy—and different outcomes.
• Keeping your edge (without burning out): why healing doesn’t “turn off” your high achiever— it makes you clearer, faster, and more present.
• How to know you’re ready: the 5–10 year question and choosing the courageous path of change.
• Kelly’s happiness hack: sensory visualization—returning to a peaceful memory to regulate in minutes.
