In this nourishing episode of Remember Sister, Christina Sofia welcomes holistic lifestyle expert Veronica Paige for a deeply grounding conversation on digestive health, ancestral wisdom, and somatic healing through the lens of Ayurveda.

Together, they explore how our relationship with food reflects our relationship with life, why trusting your nervous system is radical, and how to liberate yourself from the pressure to "get it right." You'll hear personal stories, subconscious cravings, and how healing doesn't have to be another thing to fix—it’s a process of remembering.

✨ If you're craving more ease, embodiment, and nourishment in your life, this episode is for you.

Takeaways

• Healing is a journey, not a destination.

• Your digestion mirrors how you receive life.

• Ancestral health and nervous system regulation go hand in hand.

• Letting go is key to true nourishment.

• You are not a problem to fix—you are a body to come home to.

🌟✨ Welcome to Remember Sister, the sacred space where we reclaim our softness, reconnect with our bodies, and remember the truth of who we are. I’m Christina Sofia, your host and woman somatic intuitive, and in this episode, we’re going deep into one of the biggest struggles modern women face: burnout.

🔥💔 Burnout Isn’t Just Tiredness—It’s Emotional Overload
In this powerful episode, I explore the emotional and somatic roots of burnout and why simply “resting” isn’t enough to heal it. Together, we’ll unravel how childhood conditioning creates coping mechanisms that keep us stuck in overdrive—disconnected from our bodies, intuition, and true sense of worth.

I introduce five distinct burnout patterns—The Over-Giver, The Pusher, The Perfectionist, The Numb Out Queen, and The Emotional Roller Coaster—so you can start recognizing your own cycle and begin the journey of breaking free.

• [27:21] Many of us tie our worth to achievement—this needs to shift.

• [32:03] Perfectionism is often a mask for deeper emotional fear.

• [39:33] The “Numb Out” Queen uses avoidance to feel safe—but safety can be re-learned.

• [44:26] The emotional highs and lows of burnout are a sign your nervous system is asking for support.

📖🔍 Chapter Highlights:

• [00:00] Welcome to Remember Sister

Apply for The Soft Reset: A 2-Day Virtual Event for Heart-Led Women Who Crave Nervous System Safety, Inner Calm, and a New Way to Rise

🌸✨ Welcome to Remember Sister, the sacred space where high-achieving women come to soften, reconnect, and reclaim their feminine power. I’m Christina Sofia, your host and woman somatic intuitive—and in this episode, we’re diving into the truth about burnout. Spoiler: it’s not just about being tired.

🔥💧 Unpacking Burnout: It’s Deeper Than Fatigue
In this episode, I guide you through the emotional and energetic roots of burnout—the kind that lingers even after a full weekend of rest. We talk about the patterns underneath the exhaustion: the people-pleasing, the perfectionism, the lack of boundaries, and the unspoken belief that your worth comes from what you do instead of who you are.

You'll hear how our nervous systems, relationships, and childhood imprints contribute to burnout—and why reclaiming your connection to your body is the most important step toward healing.

I also share more about The Soft Reset—my upcoming virtual retreat created to help women like you return to your truth, regulate your nervous system, and remember how to feel safe being instead of always doing.

🌿💖 Key Takeaways:

• [00:00] Burnout isn’t just physical exhaustion—it’s emotional and energetic depletion.

• [05:48] Rest alone won’t heal burnout unless the root causes are addressed.

• [11:27] Boundaries are a form of self-love and protection—not selfishness.

• [16:39] Relationships and people-pleasing patterns often fuel burnout cycles.

• [22:13] You are not broken—our culture conditions women to ignore their bodies and over-function.

• [28:00] Real recovery comes from somatic healing, emotional regulation, and community support.

• [34:52] Healing happens in connection: you don’t have to do this alone.

• [38:19] The Soft Reset retreat is here to guide you back to safety, softness, and sovereignty.

📖🔍 Chapter Highlights:

• [00:00] Introduction and Why Burnout Isn’t Just Fatigue

• [05:48] Emotional Roots of Burnout

• [11:27] Boundaries and Nervous System Regulation

• [16:39] The Role of Relationships in Burnout

• [22:13] The Lie That You’re Broken

🎧 Tune in now and share this with a sister who’s ready to stop burning out and start coming home to herself.

🌟✨ Welcome to Remember Sister, the sacred space where we reconnect with our feminine essence, soften into self-care, and release the weight of overperformance. I'm Christina Sofia, your host and a woman coach for high-achieving women to end cycles of burnout and disconnection, and have lasting peace, play, and purpose. In this episode, we dive deep into the challenges ambitious women face in surrendering to rest, receiving love, and embracing emotional connection.

🌸💫 Breaking Free from Hyper-Independence:
For so many women, relaxation feels foreign—almost like a luxury we haven't earned. But why? In this conversation, I explore the roots of hyper-independence and how it creates barriers in our relationships, leaving us disconnected from both our bodies and our communities. Through personal stories and reflections, I share how softening is not weakness but a profound act of strength. Together, we’ll dismantle the belief that we have to do it all alone and reclaim our right to be held, supported, and deeply loved.

🌈🌿 Key Takeaways:

• [00:00] This is a space to remember who you truly are.
• [04:15] Many women struggle with relaxation and taking time for themselves.
• [09:28] Hyper-independence can create walls in relationships.
• [14:53] Community is essential for regulating our nervous systems.
• [18:30] The Ice Queen archetype and emotional unavailability.
• [22:11] Expressing emotions vs. expressing opinions—knowing the difference.
• [27:42] Softness is not weakness; it is a form of strength.
• [32:19] You are worthy of love without needing to do anything to earn it.
• [38:14] Healing the inner child is key to breaking cycles of hyper-independence.
• [44:07] You can't outwork your body's need for love and rest.
