Ever wondered why that headache appears right when you finally sit down after a hectic day? Or why your back pain intensifies during stressful periods despite no physical injury? The answer lies in the profound mind-body connection that many of us have lost touch with.

Dr. Evette Rose joins us from Bali to unravel this mysterious relationship between our emotions and physical wellbeing. She explains how many women become "numb from the neck down," disconnected from bodily sensations until pain or illness forces awareness. This dissociation isn't random—it's often a coping mechanism developed early in life that creates the illusion we can handle more stress than we actually can.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when exploring how midlife transitions amplify this dynamic. As hormones shift in our forties, emotions we've successfully suppressed for decades—particularly anger—suddenly demand attention. Rather than fearing this anger, Dr. Rose offers practical strategies for channelling it constructively through physical movement, transforming what might be viewed as a crisis into an opportunity for profound reawakening.

Perhaps most revealing is Dr. Rose's insight into why so many women take excessive responsibility for others' emotions and wellbeing. This pattern, often rooted in childhood experiences, creates a perfect storm when combined with bodily disconnection, leading to burnout and psychosomatic illness. The path forward? Self-compassion—approaching ourselves with the same kindness we've readily offered others.

Whether you're navigating midlife changes, experiencing unexplained physical symptoms, or simply feeling overwhelmed by responsibility, this conversation offers both validation and practical wisdom. Your body isn't betraying you—it's communicating. Maybe it's time we started listening.

There's a silent career killer lurking in your daily life, consuming your energy and holding you back professionally—the mental load. That invisible project manager in your head with 50,000 tabs open is doing far more damage than you realize.

The mental load creates a devastating double burden where you're essentially working two full-time jobs—one that pays and another where you labor endlessly without compensation. Research shows that up to 80% of women report home responsibilities prevent them from performing their best professionally. This burden often intensifies at crucial career advancement stages, creating a perfect storm where professional growth opportunities coincide with increased family demands from both children's activities and aging parents' needs.

The consequences are profound. Talented professionals decline promotions, avoid new projects, and step back from advancement opportunities because they're already overwhelmed. As you maintain lists for everyone except yourself, your health, joy, friendships, and peace of mind become casualties. This self-neglect breeds resentment that manifests as impatience, irritability, and emotional exhaustion—until you inevitably reach a breaking point.

Breaking free starts with understanding that household responsibilities exist in never-ending cycles without true completion points. Once you accept this reality, you can step away without guilt and prioritize yourself. Learn to fully delegate tasks—including the conceptualizing and planning aspects, not just execution—and genuinely let go. Allow natural consequences to occur and accept that "done" is good enough, even when it doesn't match your standards.

Your career shouldn't have to be sacrificed on the altar of mental overload. Take the first step today by identifying what you can drop, delegate, or dial back without guilt. What could you accomplish professionally if you weren't carrying everyone else's mental load?
