Podcasts about food freedom

After watching the Olympics for two weeks I wanted to share the stories that have resonated with me the most. Stories about what it takes to keep going, to trust your body, to come back after something hard.  This podcast isn't just about inspiration, it's about what these athletes can teach you on your journey to food freedom. What You'll Discover:- Why inspiration is one of the most underrated tools on your path to food freedom- The mindset required to overcome hard things- What Mikaela Shiffrin's approach to fear and focus can teach you about your relationship with food- How elite athletes think about food and why it's the opposite of what diet culture taught you Plus 5 key themes that apply both to Olympic athletes and your journey to become a calm, connected and confident with food. If you've ever wondered why finding peace with food feels so challenging even when you're putting in the work, this episode offers a new way to see your journey. You might be further along than you think. Want to know why you struggle with food and what to do next? Start watching The Binge Breakthrough Mini Series today.

Do you wake up worried about everything, and just want to make sure you’re following God’s plan for your life? In this podcast for Christian college girls, you will learn to find GOD’S path for your college journey, and graduate with no loans or debt! I get it! It is so tough doing things the world‘s way, when everybody else is doing life without God and in their own strength, making poor choices, and taking out loans. So, if you’re ready to stop dreading making decisions, and find EASY solutions to help you pay for college while following His path for your life, this podcast is for you! Hey there! I’m Kara Walker, a twenty-something entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, recovering over-achiever, and debt-free college graduate. In college, I too was a stressed college student, looking for money and mental peace. I wondered if there were other ways to pay for college besides loans, and wished for clear direction on how to make college and career decisions! Not only was I worried about drowning in debt, but also afraid I hadn’t heard Jesus correctly. Was I studying the wrong thing? Was I completely off track? I felt semi-out of control and was spiraling, until I learned how to hear from God and follow His direction. He guided me and gave me the stepping stones to pay for college. Scholarships, grants, testing out of classes, and other weird school hacks got me through debt-free! And, I’m here to teach you HOW to do this, too. If you are ready to find answers about your future, have an intimate and fruitful relationship with Jesus, and have enough money to KILL it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.

In this episode, we sit down with Sue Becker, founder of Bread Beckers, for a conversation that goes far beyond bread.Sue has spent decades helping families rediscover the power of freshly milled whole grains, challenging the narrative that bread is the problem and inviting us to reconsider what's actually happened to our food system. Together, we explore how modern processing stripped nutrients from one of the most foundational foods in human history—and how returning to real bread can transform not just physical health, but our relationship with the kitchen, our homes, and even our faith.We talk about:How conventional flour is devoid of nutrients and the health ramifications that ensued after those vital nutrients were removedThe difference between processed flour and freshly milled whole grainWhy many people tolerate real bread beautifully - even those with gluten sensitivitiesWhy real bread has absolutely changed Jaclyn's life and the lives of so many othersThe biblical and historical significance of breadWhy reclaiming traditional food practices is both nourishing and quietly radicalThis episode is about more than nutrition. It's about legacy. It's about slowing down. It's about remembering what our bodies were designed for.If you've ever felt confused about bread, curious about milling your own grain, or hungry for a more intentional way of living, this conversation will both educate and inspire you.GET IN TOUCH WITH SUE:Charity Site: https://www.realbreadoutreach.comFacebook: Sue BeckerInstagram: suebreadbeckersYoutube: Bread BeckersApple Podcast: Sue's Healthy Minutes with Sue BeckerSupport the showDOWNLOAD THE FREQ APP:www.thefreqapp.com VISIT THE SHOP:www.thebeckonsouk.com CONNECT ON SOCIAL:Instagram: @beckonliving, @jaclynsteele, @samthurmond_reiTikTok: @beckonliving JOIN THE HIGH FREQUENCY SOCIETY:Text us at 480-531-6858 and type the word FREQUENCY to receive periodic uplifting, high frequency text messages from Sam and Jaclyn.

 In today's episode, we're talking about something that can feel hard to put into words — how an eating disorder slowly steals parts of who you are. Your personality. Your spark. Your confidence. Your relationships. Sometimes even your sense of humour.If you've ever looked back at old photos and thought, “I don't feel like that person anymore,” this one's for you.We'll talk about how eating disorders shrink your world without you even noticing at first. How they become your identity. And most importantly, what starts to come back when you choose recovery. Because it's not just weight that's restored. It's energy. Curiosity. Freedom. You.In this episode, we cover:The subtle ways an eating disorder takes over your identityWhy recovery can feel unfamiliar at first (and why that's normal)What begins to return as you nourish your body and your lifeRecovery isn't just about food. It's about getting your full self back. And maybe even meeting a version of you that feels stronger, softer, and more alive than before.Let me know your thoughts!

If you've ever felt like your body is fighting you no matter how “perfect” your nutrition or workouts are, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Today, I'm sitting down with Soraya Rufener, one of our coaches at Vital Spark, to share the story behind the safety, trust, and results her clients feel from day one. Soraya isn't just highly credentialed as a registered nurse and functional health coach. She's lived through chronic dieting, body distrust, and the exhausting pressure to always “do more.” She started dieting at 13, spent years stuck in restriction cycles, and did everything diet culture promised would work. And yet, nothing was actually healing.In this conversation, we unpack why willpower wasn't the problem, how postpartum healing changed everything, and what rebuilding a body really requires physically, mentally, and emotionally. Soraya shares the moment she stopped punishing her body and learned how to support it instead. We talk about why healing is layered, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how nervous system safety changes outcomes. She also opens up about how her lived experience reshaped the way she coaches postpartum moms and high-achieving women today. Most importantly, we explore what she refuses to repeat from diet culture—and why coaching women differently matters. If you're exhausted, frustrated, or quietly wondering why nothing seems to work anymore, this episode will remind you that you're not broken.You're unsupported. Time Stamps: (1:17) Our Incredible Coach Soraya (6:02) Early Teen Soraya (9:17) Finding Bodybuilding (15:02) The Food Noise (17:09) Shifting To The Healing Phase (19:55) The Mental Side of Healing (22:47) 3 Kids In 4 Years and The Postpartum Journey (31:23) Our Bodies Aren't The Enemy (34:15) Where To Find Soraya---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Twenty years ago, I dug Valentine's Day chocolates out of the trash.And that moment kicked off 15 years of restriction, rules, all-or-nothing dieting, and solid disordered eating patterns that I didn't even recognize at the time.In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I'm sharing the story of the Valentine's Day that changed everything — the 1,200 calorie era, the keto obsession, intermittent fasting, marathon training, and the years of believing I just “couldn't be trusted” around food.I was really good at losing weight.I just sucked at maintaining it.I lived in the constant cycle of:• Restrict Monday through Thursday• Blow it on the weekend• Start over on Monday• Create new rules• Break them• Beat myself upI stopped baking cookies for my kids.I wouldn't keep “trigger foods” in the house.I truly believed I had no control.Until I learned how to eat in a way that actually supported my metabolism instead of fighting it.In this episode, I talk about:• How restriction creates obsession• Why 1,200 calories isn't the solution• The mental freedom that comes from tracking macros properly• Why protein is the secret sauce• The difference between control and food freedom• And how I can now have two chocolates and move on with my lifeThis is especially for the woman in her 40s or 50s who feels stuck in the restrict–binge–restart cycle and thinks menopause is the reason she can't maintain weight loss.It's not.Your metabolism just needs a different approach.If you're ready to break the cycle, I'm currently enrolling for the FIT AF Metabolic Fat Loss Accelerator — a 4-week program where we spend:• 2 weeks at true maintenance• 2 weeks in a precision fat loss phase• With macro guidance, workouts, and real food freedomhttps://go.katalystfitness.net/fatloss-acceleratorIf this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.You don't have to live at war with your body or food anymore.Thank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how we can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnow Now accepting clients!

Diet rules don't just live on your plate—they live in your head and your history. We invited food freedom coach and holistic wellness expert Sloane Elizabeth to unpack how fear-based nutrition, viral trends, and moralized labels push smart people into smaller, more anxious lives—and how to step out of that loop with clarity and calm.We start by taking a hard look at diet culture's favorite tactics: intermittent fasting as identity, carb and bread panic, and the halo of words like natural and healthy. Wendy shares a personal story about hidden allergens in a “simple” bar, reminding us why label literacy matters without spiraling into obsession. From there, we redefine healthy as personal and flexible—where taste, allergies, and sensitivities count, and where forcing “perfect” foods undermines trust. Sloane maps out a model that fuses evidence-based nutrition with spirituality, so choices are guided by both facts and felt safety.The conversation digs into family scripts like the clean plate club and using food as reward, showing how scarcity and people-pleasing shape overeating and urgency. Sloane shares her own journey from perfectionism and control to intuitive eating, explaining why the real first step isn't macros—it's the subconscious. By addressing root beliefs around worth, scarcity, and trust, you create change that sticks and watch it ripple into work, relationships, and self-care. We also flag red signs for entrepreneurs: constant food thoughts, purity-driven label checks, skipped events due to body worry, and rules that sound like can't or must.If you're ready to stop outsourcing your choices to trends and start listening to your body with compassion and skill, this one's for you. Tune in, take what serves you, and test it gently in your next meal.

Binge eating is part of so many HA stories, even if we don't always talk about it. In this episode, we're joined by Amber, Binge Eating & Overeating Coach (aka The Confident Eater), to unpack the restrict–binge cycle and what it actually takes to feel normal around food again.After years of struggling with “all the eating issues”, restriction, overeating, bingeing, food obsession, Amber decided enough was enough. She immersed herself in therapy, coaching, books, and deep self-work until she found true food freedom.Now, she helps women stop binge eating in a way that's faster, simpler, and more sustainable than white-knuckling willpower ever could be.Inside this episode, we cover:The real root causes of binge eatingWhy restriction and bingeing are more connected than you thinkWhat you're actually getting from a binge (it's not just about food)How long it realistically takes to stop binge eatingHow to rewire your brain and break the patternThe role of artificial sweeteners and “natural flavors” in overeatingWhat food freedom actually feels like on the other sideConnect with Amber:theconfidenteater.orghttps://instagram.com/theconfidenteater_Jool Wellnesshttps://joolwellness.comJoin The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/https://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Because today we're talking about a invisible belief that lives so deep, most women don't even realize it's running the show.I dive into why your nervous system has built protective armor after years of false starts, “failed” diets, and the kind of hope that felt amazing… until it turned into disappointment, shame, and another Monday restart.In this episode, I'll walk you through:The simple question that exposes your default future (and what it reveals about your subconscious beliefs)Why your brain uses the past to predict the future, even when it keeps you stuckThe 6 sneaky ways the “I can't change” belief sabotages your progressturning a hard day into “I failed”filtering for proof you're doing poorly (hello, RAS)avoiding support or not fully implementing itgetting stuck in research mode instead of action modelooking for a way out instead of getting curiousnot allowing wins to actually sink inThe “guardian of your mind” that will delete, distort, or generalize your progress so it can stay rightWhy this isn't about motivation, it's about safety (and the hot stove analogy you'll never un-hear)Journal prompts If the part of me that doesn't believe change is possible could talk, what is she afraid would happen if I started to believe I could truly heal my relationship with food?What do I secretly believe about myself and food that I've never said out loud (or never let myself fully look at)?Want support applying this work?If you're done doing this alone and you want a real framework plus coaching and community support, you can learn about Food Freedom Academy at www.sabrinamagnan.com/ffa

If fat loss feels harder than it should and healing seems slow no matter what you try, the problem may not be your discipline. It may be your nervous system. In this conversation, I explain why a chronically dysregulated nervous system can block healing, fat loss, and hormone balance no matter how perfect your protocols look on paper.  Your body is always choosing survival first, and when it perceives constant stress, it will not prioritize digestion, repair, or metabolic efficiency. I walk you through how your brain interprets everyday stress the same way it would a life-or-death threat, keeping you stuck in fight or flight.  This is why cortisol stays elevated, inflammation lingers, and progress feels frustratingly slow. I break down why this isn't a mindset issue or a lack of discipline, but a physiological response rooted in your nervous system.  We dive into the role of the vagus nerve and how it connects your brain, gut, hormones, and stress response. I explain what vagal tone is and why improving it creates the conditions your body needs to feel safe enough to heal.  You'll learn simple, practical vagus nerve–supporting practices you can use daily without adding more overwhelm. We also talk about why these tools are supportive, not magical fixes, and how they enhance everything you're already doing. If you're dealing with stubborn fat loss, gut issues, thyroid challenges, or chronic stress, this episode lays the foundation you may be missing.  Nervous system regulation isn't optional or fluffy. It's essential. When your body feels safe, healing becomes possible. Time Stamps: (1:19) Lots of Things Going On(4:54) Getting Out Of Survival Mode(7:52) The Vagus Nerve(13:55) Strategies For Improving Your Nervous System---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Ever feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice? One influencer swears by seed oils while another demonizes them. Your feed is flooded with "80 grams of protein" meal challenges, and you're left wondering: what should I actually believe?In this episode, I sit down with Colleen Christensen, registered dietitian, recovering perfectionist, and the compassionate voice behind the wildly popular @No.Food.Rules Instagram account. Colleen shares her personal journey from competitive dietetics student to her struggle with eating disorders, and ultimately to becoming one of the leading voices helping people unlearn decades of diet culture programming.This conversation is a masterclass in cutting through nutrition misinformation. Colleen breaks down why seed oils have become the internet's latest villain, what's really happening with the protein obsession, and why authority bias keeps us trusting the wrong "experts." But more importantly, she shares the one thing that changed everything for her recovery: learning to experiment with food instead of following rigid rules.In this episode, you'll learn:Why reading the headline isn't enough, and how to actually evaluate nutrition studiesThe two biggest nutrition myths getting in the way of normal eating right nowHow to become your own best experiment (and why that's more powerful than any meal plan)Why the education piece matters just as much as the inspirationWhat it really means to find joy in midlife eating, beyond just saying "all foods fit"Connect with Colleen:Instagram: @NoFoodRulesRelated Episodes You'll Love:EP #137: 5 Tips for Spotting Nutrition Misinformation with Dr. Emma BeckettEP #138: 5 Things I Wish I Had Known About Intuitive Eating 10 Years AgoEP #123: You Are More Than What You Eat with Dr. Emma BeckettWhat did you think of this episode?

Send us a textHost: Kendra BeavisGuest: Kayla MacDonald — Author, Podcast Host, Food Freedom & Embodiment GuideIn this episode of Tribe of Unicorns, Kendra Beavis sits down with Kayla McDonald for a grounded, imaginative conversation about food freedom, embodiment, and the power of rewriting the stories we live by.Kayla shares how writing and creativity helped her survive a painful childhood—and how those same tools now support women in building healthier relationships with food, self-worth, and self-expression. Together, they explore why food struggles are often rooted in deeper stories about safety, identity, and being told to shrink, rather than a lack of discipline or willpower.This episode blends lived experience with practical tools, including a playful journaling practice Kayla calls narrative alchemy, designed to make inner work feel lighter, more creative, and more sustainable.

Struggling with motivation lately? You're not broken and you're definitely not lazy.  In this episode, I share a real-time reflection on why motivation feels shaky during seasons of massive identity transition, especially when life, work, and motherhood are all evolving at once. When our identity is clear, action feels easy but when we're questioning who we are becoming, everything can feel heavy and confusing. I break down why motivation is an unreliable driver and why waiting to “feel ready” keeps you stuck. We dive into the three things that actually create follow-through: commitment, identity, and systems. I'll challenge how you think about commitment (with a comparison that might sting a little), and explain why saying you're committed isn't the same as acting like it.  We'll talk about how anchoring your actions to who you want to be, not just what you want to achieve, changes everything. I'll also walk through practical ways to reduce friction by building systems that support you on low-energy days. If you're in a season of transition, questioning your next chapter, or frustrated with your lack of consistency, this episode will help you reframe motivation and rebuild alignment. Stop waiting to feel motivated and start building something that works even when motivation is gone.  Time Stamps: (2:02) Moving, Second Trimester, and The Swings of Motivation(4:17) Forcing Myself To Show Up This Month(8:17) Feel Motivated After The Action(10:41) Commitment, Identity, and Systems(10:52) What is Commitment?(17:36) Identity and Who You're Becoming(23:52) Systems(26:22) Tangible Steps You Can Take This Week(29:57) Giving You What You Need---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Over the past few years, I've become more interested in neurodiversity. I've had more people come to work with me navigating being on the ADHD or autism spectrums and telling me that intuitive eating didn't work for them. I saw that many of the bodily changes that can occur as a response to trauma can already be happening in someone's brain when in the spectrum of neurodiversity. This can include quicker shifts into activated or collapsed nervous system states, less dopamine and time spent in a safety, more energy utilized to socialize, navigate transitions and make decisions. This can show up with food as struggling to hear hunger and fullness cues, heightened sensitivity to texture, taste, or smells, sensory seeking with crunch or flavor, difficulties with planning, cooking, or remembering to eat.In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas, clinical neuroscientist, nutrition researcher, autistic ADHDer, and author, about: ADHD and nutritionListening to your unique body's signalsUnderstanding sensory sensitivitiesThe role environment plays in food choicesThe connection between trauma and foodFinding balance in nutritionPractical meal prep strategiesYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/bioindividual-approach-to-nutrition-for-neurodiversity-and-adhdEnjoy this week's episode and reach out with any insights! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Dr. Miguel here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiguelmateas/ Website: https://drmiguelmateas.comBook: ADHD Body and Mind https://amzn.to/4riUEjoSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm joined by Holly Bertone — a former FBI Chief of Staff turned Emotional Eating Profiler and coach — whose own journey through breast cancer, autoimmune disease, and high-pressure corporate life led her to completely rethink what health and success truly mean.Together, we explore why midlife can feel like a turning point for so many women, particularly when it comes to food, weight, and energy. Hormonal shifts, stress physiology, and years of pushing through fatigue often converge at this stage of life, leaving women feeling disconnected from their bodies and frustrated by habits that no longer make sense — especially emotional eating.Rather than framing this as a willpower issue, Holly offers a far more compassionate and scientific lens. We talk about the behavioural and biological drivers behind emotional eating, how chronic stress and immune dysregulation can influence cravings, and why learning to listen to your body's signals is often the most powerful place to start.This conversation is ultimately about trust — rebuilding trust with your body, moving away from rigid food rules, and developing the discernment to understand what genuinely nourishes you versus what depletes you. Because real, lasting change rarely comes from another plan; it comes from personalisation and paying attention.If you're navigating midlife changes, autoimmune symptoms, or simply feel like your relationship with food has become more complicated than it used to be, this episode will offer both clarity and reassurance.

Food sobriety doesn't just happen. It's something you protect and recommit to every day.

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Krista Moreland, one of our incredible functional health coaches here at Vital Spark, to share her story, her breaking point, and the moment that changed everything. Krista joined our team in early 2025 with over a decade of coaching experience, but her journey goes far deeper than credentials. Before motherhood, she was a two-sport college athlete whose identity was built on discipline, performance, and mental toughness. Then she became a mom, and everything she thought she knew about herself began to shift.Krista opens up about navigating early motherhood while caring for a medically complex baby, including her son's heart surgery at just four months old. She shares the shame, fear, and invisible stress she carried, and how food became her unexpected escape during that season. As a former athlete who had never used food emotionally, this struggle left her feeling confused and lost inside her own body. We talk about the identity shock no one prepares women for, especially high-achieving moms who are used to holding it all together.Krista takes us into the quiet breaking point that happened in her bathtub, where she realized no one was coming to rescue her. That moment wasn't about weight loss, but about choosing herself again. We explore how healing her relationship with food and her body changed the way she showed up as a mom, partner, and woman. This conversation is for any woman who feels like she used to know who she was and is ready to find her way back. Time Stamps: (3:08) Before Motherhood and College Days (6:54) Identity Shift to Motherhood (18:32) Leadership In The Home (23:22) Managing The Mind and Emotions (33:02) Where Coach Krista Is In Her Journey Right Now (37:10) You Are Not Broken (40:02) Where To Find Coach Krista---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

This episode explores how stepping out of diet culture, wearing clothes that fit your today body, and finding supportive community can free up mental space and help you feel more like yourself again, even in the middle of uncertainty.If you're in perimenopause and struggling with body image, confusing symptoms, or your relationship with food, this conversation will help you feel less alone and more hopeful about what's possible next.Learn more about Britney's work here: www.lecofva.comIf you'd like to join the Feaster community, learn more at https://www.menopausenutritionist.ca/themidlifefeastcommunityWhat did you think of this episode?

If you're getting everything done on the outside but feel exhausted, foggy, and feel like giving up on the inside, this episode is for you.High functioning burnout is the state where your nervous system stays on constant alert while your life keeps demanding more.It shows up most often in high achievers like entrepreneurs, corporate women, and medical professionals who are praised for pushing through.In this episode, I break down 18 subtle but powerful signs that your body is stuck between high cortisol and total collapse.We'll talk about why rest feels unsafe, stillness makes you anxious, and productivity comes in extreme waves instead of balance.You'll recognize the patterns of irritability, avoidance, overstimulation, and mental exhaustion that don't look like classic burnout.I explain what's actually happening inside your nervous system when you feel wired but tired, motivated but flat, social yet depleted.This isn't a motivation problem or a discipline issue, it's a regulation issue. You'll learn why pushing harder only deepens the loop and what happens if these signals are ignored long term.We'll connect the dots between chronic stress, dopamine crashes, cortisol dysregulation, and hormonal fallout.Most importantly, this episode will help you name what you're experiencing so you can stop blaming yourself.Burnout doesn't always look like quitting or falling apart, sometimes it looks like functioning too well for too long. If you want your life to feel as good as it looks, this conversation is a wake up call. Time Stamps: (1:20) Both Looking Good Today(2:22) Natalie Ellis Quote(3:35) Between High and Low Cortisol(5:18) 18 Signs You Are High Functioning Burnout(25:52) What To Look For If This Resonates With You---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
