You’re doing everything right — taking care of yourself, practicing embodiment, doing the mindset work — but something still feels off.
If you’ve ever found yourself exhausted, overwhelmed, or battling physical symptoms despite all your efforts… this episode is for you.

Today, Dr Nancy is joined by her former client Brea Fisher — a gifted teacher of Chinese internal martial arts and founder of Guian Gun Fu — for a raw, powerful conversation about what happens when high-achieving women finally stop trying to do it all alone.

Brea shares:

• How despite years of deep personal work, her body began sending loud distress signals she couldn’t decode on her own

• Why her independence and "do it yourself" mindset was actually blocking her full healing

• The subtle (and not-so-subtle) health symptoms she was experiencing — and how they completely transformed once she embraced deeper support

• How asking for help opened a portal not just for physical healing, but for deeper leadership, creativity, and trust in life itself

If you’re tired of holding it all together on your own, if your body is whispering (or shouting) that it’s time for a change, listen closely.

This conversation could be the mirror you didn’t know you needed.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why traditional "self-discipline" often fails women in healing

• How to spot the signs that your body is asking for a new way forward

• The connection between nervous system regulation, hormone balance, and receiving support

• The hidden cost of radical independence — and the freedom on the other side of it

• Practical steps to begin softening into a new relationship with your health, your energy, and your leadership

Welcome to the Disrupt the System Podcast, where we challenge outdated norms and redefine what's possible for driven women seeking freedom, wealth, and health.

In today’s episode, I sit down with my friend, past client, and powerhouse coach Kristel David—an entrepreneur, speaker, and host of Her Playbook. Kristel is deeply passionate about helping wives and mothers rediscover their worth, reclaim their power, and create thriving lives. After navigating her own transformative journey through divorce, she has become a beacon of hope for women ready to break free from societal expectations and rewrite their own stories.

✨ The reality of rebuilding life after divorce, both personally and professionally
✨ The unexpected ways stress manifests in the body—and how Kristel learned to listen to her body’s signals
✨ The impact of holistic health and functional medicine on her healing journey
✨ How perfectionism can sabotage health and success—and what to do instead
✨ The power of self-advocacy and asking for support without shame
✨ Why surrender and trust are the key themes for 2025

Kristel shares candidly about the toll stress took on her body—from joint pain and TMJ to digestive issues and chronic fatigue—and how her journey with functional health helped her reclaim her vitality. We also dive deep into how women often resist asking for help and the life-changing shift that happens when we fully receive support.

This conversation is full of raw truth, powerful insights, and actionable takeaways for any woman navigating transitions, burnout, or the pressure to do it all alone.

Dr. Nancy speaks to founders and brothers, David and Will from Bathing Evolved, who wanted to offer something different from companies like Bath and Bodyworks, Lush, Ouia and others who have exploited ancient bathing for their own benefit.

In this episode, they share the healing benefits of bathing (including the perfect bath temperature!) and why baths are not just for women.

Bathing Evolved is different from many other bath products on the market because it features a magnesium chloride base infused with micronized amino acids for increased sleep and recovery - all designed specifically with ancient bathing in mind but with modern technology advancements too.
