If you don’t slow down… your body will. Burnout isn’t just exhaustion. It’s what happens when stress goes unchecked for too long.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

-What chronic stress does to your brain

-How burnout turns into physical symptoms

- Why high-functioning women crash the hardest

And an important conversation about conversion disorder — when emotional overload shows up in the body in very real, neurological ways.

This is not about weakness. This is about your nervous system being overwhelmed. Reset before resentment. Refuel before fracture. Listen before your body screams.

March is Women’s History Month, and this week on Journey to Joy Live, I wanted to honor a woman who is not just making history… she’s building it.

Episode 141: Her Work. Her Worth. Her Impact.

In recognition of Women’s History Month, I am putting the spotlight on Nikki Porcher — U.S. Air Force veteran, former public school teacher, and founder of Buy From A Black Woman, a national nonprofit that has generated more than $6.12 million in documented economic impact supporting Black women business owners.

And she’s not done.

Nikki is now entering her next chapter — running for Georgia Labor Commissioner to modernize the state’s labor systems and ensure every worker in every county has access to opportunity, stability, and support.

This episode is about legacy.

About economic empowerment.

About women who refuse to shrink their impact.

Her work.

Her worth.

Her impact.

Ever feel like you’re fine one minute… and completely overwhelmed the next?

That’s not “being dramatic.”

That’s emotional flooding.

This week on Journey to Joy Live, I'm breaking down what happens when your brain and nervous system get overloaded — and why you suddenly feel everything at once.

In Episode 140, I'm unpacking:

- What emotional flooding actually is (and what triggers it)

-What’s happening in your brain during overwhelm

-Why high-functioning women crash hard

- Practical tools to regulate your mood in real time

You don’t have to drown in your emotions.

You can learn to regulate them.

Because emotional intensity isn’t weakness.

It’s dysregulation — and it’s treatable.
