    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 Resources Mentioned: Connect with Brea Fisher and explore her Qigong practice at Patreon.com/BreaFisher Follow Brea on Instagram: @quanyingongfu Love this episode?

    Do you know what yoga nidra is?   The short answer is that yoga nidra is a practice of relaxation and sense withdrawl.   But really it's much more than that. It's a practice of taking your awareness from your external body, through levels of awareness, until you get the deep oneness.  It is practice of consciousness and awakening. In today's episode, Dr Nancy speaks with her friend Jana Roemer, yoga nidra teacher, astrologer and beautiful mama. She shares how yoga nidra shifts the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic. This process allows the body to heal.  It allows us to unravel and disrupt patterns from our history...not by doing but by being. www.janaroemer.com
