  • Why Your Nervous System Won't Let You Rest

    Why Your Nervous System Won't Let You Rest
    2026/09/06
    First aired September 6, 2026 Dr. Charleanea Arellano has spent over 30 years as a clinical psychologist and leadership coach, but the framework she's best known for now, the Embodied Narrative Framework, didn't come from a textbook. It came from putting away laundry five years ago and noticing her own body bracing for impact, for no reason at all, at age 55, after decades of actually being safe. Dr. Arellano built her career studying how high-achieving women lead while carrying nervous systems shaped by trauma, and by the added weight of managing how their race, sexuality, or gender is perceived in the room. As a queer Latina psychologist who didn't come out publicly until 2024, and who spent years often being the only person of color at the table, she's lived the pattern she now helps her clients unwind. We talk about what a chronically activated nervous system actually feels like in the body, the subtle and not-so-subtle ways bias shows up in a room, why "just get a massage" isn't a real fix for high achievers, and the simple, several-times-a-day nervous system reset she teaches instead.

Her own healing journey, including decades of navigating rooms where she was often the only person of color, informs her work today.

  • Why Imposter Syndrome Keeps Leaders Stuck

    Why Imposter Syndrome Keeps Leaders Stuck
    2026/08/09

    In this episode, Dana is joined by Kurt Bush, a trauma-informed coach who helps leaders move from imposter syndrome to authentic confidence. Kurt shares his own journey with imposter syndrome, from feeling like a fraud in corporate leadership meetings to realizing his true calling. He explains that to make a change, the pain of staying the same must become greater than the pain of changing, a threshold many of us fear crossing. Kurt introduces the ERT (Encounter + Reflection = Transformation) framework, a practical approach to help you get unstuck. He reveals why the first step to moving forward is often learning to "start stopping" the things that drain your energy, allowing you to create a life that is truly aligned with who you are.

  • Your Midlife 'Crisis' Might Be Burnout (with Jody Brooks)

    Your Midlife 'Crisis' Might Be Burnout (with Jody Brooks)
    2026/07/26
    A midlife crisis isn't actually a crisis. That's the challenge Jody Brooks puts to anyone who's ever felt lost, restless, or quietly convinced something's wrong with them somewhere around 40 or 50: what looks like burnout, and what people love to write off as a freakout, is more often a calling. His own arrived at lunchtime at the office, buzzing canteen and all, when he found himself sitting in a restroom cubicle, crying so hard he could barely breathe. No brutal meeting that morning. No disaster. Just the quiet moment his body picked to file its formal complaint: burnout wasn't a "rough patch" anymore, it was a full-body shutdown. I've been a therapist for 18 years, and I can tell you: high performers do this. We white-knuckle through "one more day" (and one more, and one more) until the body stops asking politely. Sound familiar? Jody is a UK-based midlife and burnout coach who once survived 52 flights in eight months of what he calls "jazz hands" performing, and his calling-not-crisis framework is asking you to come home to yourself. We get into how to spot the full-body warning signs before you hit your own cubicle moment, how to settle anxiety in the moment it spikes (not three weeks and one forced sabbatical later), and Jody's wonderfully backwards first step for anyone feeling stuck: don't start something new. Start stopping. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfi9lec7n2o In this episode Why burnout can feel like "just a bad day" until it suddenly isn't, and how to recognize the full-body warning signs before you hit the wallWhy a midlife crisis isn't really a crisis at all: it's a calling to reconnect with who you actually areThe anxiety-regulation technique Jody uses with coaching clients to come back from a stress spiral in real timeWhy you can't be "out of alignment" until you know what alignment actually means, and how to find your starting pointThe "start stopping" exercise for anyone who wants change but doesn't know where to beginHow understanding your core values turns boundaries from something scary into something guilt-free Timestamps (00:01) Welcome and guest intro: meet midlife and burnout coach Jody Brooks(01:47) The restroom-cubicle "pile of ash" moment: burnout as a full-body shutdown(04:34) The three-hour drive home, and the decision to stop(06:43) Fear, anxiety, and the "one small thing" that finally breaks us(10:10) Jody's technique for regulating anxiety and stress in the moment(13:59) What alignment really means (and the bus analogy)(19:39) Why younger generations and midlifers experience burnout differently(24:37) The blank-page moment: reclaiming your story through empowerment(25:43) "Start stopping": Jody's first step for anyone feeling stuck(29:21) Boundaries, core values, and why saying no is an act of service(33:17) Where to find Jody and his free resources About Jody Brooks Jody Brooks is a UK-based midlife and burnout coach and the founder of Authentic Coaching. After burning out during a high-pressure international career in education (one stretch included 52 flights in eight months) he developed the nine principles of authentic living, a practical framework that helps people turn crisis into connection and sustainable well-being.

  • How You Can Find Hope After Rock Bottom (Aaron Ryan)

    How You Can Find Hope After Rock Bottom (Aaron Ryan)
    2026/07/19
    Two in the morning. Sitting on the toilet, clothed, bawling into a pillow, because a broken PC was the last thing standing between him and the self-employed life he wanted so badly he could feel it in his teeth. That's where my guest this week hit rock bottom: not one dramatic collapse, but months of computer problems piling on top of a dream that felt like it was never going to happen. A client shared one quote with him that day, and Aaron Ryan has carried it in his back pocket for almost twenty years since: "The temptation to quit is always greatest just before your greatest success." Aaron is an award-winning, bestselling author of the six-book Dissonance alien invasion saga (one installment is being pitched to streaming networks right now), plus dozens of other titles across sci-fi, historical fiction, and children's books, and he's also a working voice actor. We talk about the "Illuminati" he ran into at the top of the voiceover industry, the sting of writing 300 blog posts meant to encourage people only to be told they were "nothing," and why he walked away from that world entirely to go back to his first love: storytelling. Aaron also shares his best advice for anyone starting out as a writer (be authentic, steer clear of generative AI, and grow thick skin fast), and the 9/11 historical novel he wrote as an act of catharsis, imagining a world where the attacks never happened. If you've ever felt like an imposter next to people who seem to have it all figured out, or you're right on the edge of giving up on something you can feel in your teeth, this conversation is the reminder that the breakdown right before the breakthrough is often just... the process. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHeG1Oqaspc In this episode The quote Aaron has carried for almost 20 years, and the two memory sticks that changed his entire careerWhy running into "the Illuminati" of the voiceover industry, and being told his encouragement blogs were "nothing," turned out to be his breakthrough in disguiseAaron's advice for anyone who wants to write a book: be authentic, avoid generative AI, and grow thick skin fastWhy holding a finished book in your hands matters more than whether anyone buys itHow Aaron turned personal catharsis into fiction, including a 9/11 historical novel where the attacks never happenWhat "breakdown to breakthrough, wash, rinse, repeat" really looks like over a creative career Timestamps (00:01) Welcome and guest intro: meet award-winning author Aaron Ryan(01:38) The Dissonance saga, Hollywood pitches, and film festival wins(03:04) The young author's club at age 10, and being "fated" to write(04:39) Advice for new writers: be authentic, avoid AI, grow thick skin(07:38) Imposter syndrome, and the 7,500 books published on Amazon every day(09:57) "The Electric Boy": writing his first "book" at age seven(13:20) Why Aaron writes sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, and dystopian fiction(16:57) The "Illuminati" of the voiceover industry, and walking away from it(22:46) 2007: leaving full-time work, and the PC that wouldn't stop breaking(24:12) Bawling into a pillow at 2am, and the quote that changed everything(26:31) Breakdown to breakthrough, wash, rinse, repeat(28:31) Aaron's favorite books: The End Omega, and a 9/11 novel where the attacks never happen(35:00) Where to find Aaron and his books About Aaron Ryan Aaron Ryan is an award-winning and best-selling author, speaker, panelist, workshop presenter, and voice actor.

  • How Your Body's Intuition Can Heal You (Rebecca Russell)

    How Your Body's Intuition Can Heal You (Rebecca Russell)
    2026/07/12
    Four years of chronic pain. A fibromyalgia diagnosis. Muscle relaxers, pain pills, migraines, MRI after MRI. And through all of it, my guest this week kept hearing the same quiet voice: something doesn't fit. Rebecca Russell listened to it anyway, tracked down a neurosurgeon, and asked for one test nobody else had run: a discogram. It found the bulging disc that had been the actual problem the whole time, and eighty-five percent of her symptoms disappeared after surgery. Rebecca is a metabolism and lifestyle coach, certified essential oil specialist, and author who's spent more than three decades turning her own health crises, a prediabetes warning in her thirties and years of unexplained chronic pain, into a holistic approach she now teaches other people. We talk about the difference between managing symptoms and finding root cause, how to bring up wanting to try something holistic without blowing up the relationship with a doctor you've trusted for decades, and the "black year" she spent as a stay-at-home mom feeling brain-dead and guilty for wanting more, before a community-college pamphlet turned into an unexpected ten-year path to becoming a published novelist. If you've ever been told your labs are "normal" while you know something is wrong, Rebecca's message is blunt and useful: do your homework, and don't let anyone, including a doctor you love, talk you out of your own intuition. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa0h2DJgFWg In this episode Why Rebecca trusted her own intuition over four years of doctors telling her to just manage the pain, and the one test that finally found the root causeHow a lifestyle overhaul helped Rebecca avoid a lifetime of medication after a prediabetes warning in her thirtiesThe self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-love formula Rebecca built to help people figure out what they actually needWhy she calls herself "the Queen of Homework," and how to research a health decision your doctor won't have time toHow essential oils helped Rebecca get off a nightly sleep medication, and how each oil ties to an emotional needHer "black year" as a stay-at-home mom, and the writing-class pamphlet that turned into a decade-long path to publication Timestamps (00:01) Welcome and guest intro: meet metabolism and lifestyle coach Rebecca Russell(02:10) From Harlequin romance novelist to competitive athlete(04:52) The rec ice hockey high, and the fibromyalgia diagnosis that followed(07:08) Watching family members struggle on the traditional medical path(09:04) The American Diabetes Society's shift toward prevention and reversal(11:39) The discogram: the one test nobody else had run(13:34) The statin Rebecca refused, and the thyroid issue that was the real cause(16:05) How to bring up holistic options without losing your traditional doctor(19:50) Why Rebecca calls herself "the Queen of Homework"(20:23) Essential oils, sleep, and getting off a nightly medication(24:35) The "black year": stay-at-home motherhood, guilt, and losing her sense of self(28:22) The writing-class pamphlet that led to a published novel ten years later(35:15) Boundaries, self-acceptance, and letting other people's opinions go About Rebecca Russell Rebecca Russell is a metabolism and lifestyle coach, author, and certified essential oil specialist who believes resilience begins with how we care for our bodies. After being told she was likely headed toward type 2 diabetes, she chose a different path and has spent more than 30 years embracing a holistic lifestyle to change the trajectory of her health, including recovering from a four-year battle with chronic pain that led to a fibromyalgia diagnosis.

  • Why Successful Entrepreneurs Set Boundaries (Chris Shurian)

    Why Successful Entrepreneurs Set Boundaries (Chris Shurian)
    2026/06/28
    My guest this week has a word for himself I'd never heard before: "entrepreholic." Over 39 years, Chris Shurian has built, operated, bought, broken, and resurrected companies in remodeling, construction, manufacturing, real estate development, foreign investment, hospitality, restaurants, and retail. He's also survived cancer and finished two Ironmans. And in 2008, when the economy crashed, he was so extended, so "all in, all in, all in," as he puts it, that he spent the next two years meeting with his banker once a week just to survive it. We talk about what it actually felt like to launch out on his own the first time (scary, but young enough that the stakes felt low), the mindset that got him through the 2008 collapse (he sold his boat and his Corvette for cash instead of losing them to the bank, because he'd paid cash for his toys in the first place), and why he now believes setting boundaries isn't a personal luxury for entrepreneurs, it's a core business strategy. Chris also shares the "work to live" question that reframed his whole career, and why four focused hours in his office can outperform someone else's fourteen. If you're building something and starting to feel like the business owns you instead of the other way around, Chris's story of setting his own hours from day one, and watching his business and his customers adapt to it, is worth the whole episode. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nsQRwz6r5I In this episode Why "life balance isn't a luxury, it's a core business strategy" for entrepreneursThe mindset shift that turned "scared" into "excited" for Chris during the 2008 financial collapseWhy paying cash for the boat, the Corvette, and the cabin saved Chris's family when the bank came callingHow setting one firm boundary (a standing day off, a closed office door) trains your business and your customers to respect itWhy entrepreneurs who "jump ship" too early into a new opportunity often sabotage the one that's already workingThe life balance wheel exercise Chris still uses with his coaching clients today Timestamps (00:01) Welcome and guest intro: meet self-proclaimed "entrepreholic" Chris Shurian(01:58) The word "entrepreholic," and why it's different from "serial entrepreneur"(04:57) What launching out on his own for the first time actually felt like(06:54) The fence-building side hustle that turned into a contracting career(09:50) Bartering, visibility, and getting your work seen(13:11) Building a remodeling empire, and the year everything grew too fast(14:59) Neuroplasticity: reframing "scared" as "excited"(17:23) The 2008 crash: two years of weekly meetings with the banker(18:09) Why paying cash for the boat and the Corvette saved the family(20:08) Imposter syndrome as a coach, and the value of hard-won experience(24:30) Where Chris lost his own boundaries: jumping ship on the main business too early(28:20) "Do you live to work, or do you work to live?"(33:50) Where to find Chris and his coaching About Chris Shurian Chris Shurian is a self-proclaimed "entrepreholic" who has spent 39 years building, operating, breaking, and resurrecting companies in remodeling, construction, manufacturing, real estate development, foreign investment, hospitality, restaurants, and retail.
