Today’s episode is for you high achievers and those of you who feel like you're in a trap of busy, busy, busy, with long to-do lists and lots of hustling but feeling drained, tired, and definitely unsatisfied.My guest is a master certified neuro coach and doctor of physical therapy who thought she was living the American Dream only to find herself completely burned out and on the edge of losing her marriage. If you’re constantly hustling, filling every minute with tasks, and still feel like something’s missing, this conversation is for you.

Dr. Reana Mulcahy brings her firsthand experience with burnout in both the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds to the table, sharing vulnerable moments from hitting rock bottom in her car outside the hospital, to repeating the same exhaustion when she launched her own business.

We explore why burnout isn’t just about external pressures or demanding jobs. Instead, we look at those deep-seated beliefs, subconscious patterns, and the eternal quest for validation that trap us in cycles of overwork and overwhelm—even when we’re supposedly “doing it all right.”

You’ll learn the neuroscience behind why we sabotage our own fulfillment, practical brain-based tools to rewire your mind, and how it’s possible to trade endless pushing for a more joyful, sustainable flow.

Key Takeaways:

🔸 Burnout is an inside job. – Changing jobs (or even starting your own business) won’t save you if you don’t tackle subconscious beliefs driving your patterns of overwork and people-pleasing.

🔸 You can rewire your brain for success and ease – With neurocoaching tools, you can identify (and transform) the hidden fears and narratives running your life—so success feels lighter, and boundaries get easier.

🔸 Sustainable change is possible – It’s not just about positive thinking or sheer willpower—integration and consistent action (plus vision work and brain priming) create new neural pathways, so flow and fulfillment become your new normal.

If you’re ready to look at what’s really driving your need to achieve and want science-backed strategies to break the burnout cycle, you’ll want to tune-in to this episode.

Today, we are talking about healing diseases and/or chronic illnesses. My guest, Johanna Dahlman—founder of Alopecia Angel, is a true testament to what’s possible when you refuse to accept a diagnosis.

Once given the bleak outlook of an autoimmune hair loss condition, Johanna chose not to settle for symptom management or a lifetime of prescriptions with no answers. Instead, she took control of her own healing journey—digging deep, asking different questions, and ultimately reversing her own alopecia.

Now thriving as an international health and high-performance hair growth coach, Johanna shares her experience of turning heartbreak into healing, uncovering the root causes behind autoimmunity, and helping people in over 67 countries reclaim their health (and their hair).

Whether you or someone you love is struggling to find real solutions amidst a sea of “just live with it” advice, Johanna’s story is an inspiring reminder that lasting change is possible when you choose to believe and take action—and that the power to heal lies within.

Tune in for candid insights on self-advocacy, finding the right support, and tangible steps to uncover the root causes of health challenges, no matter what you’re facing.

Today marks the third episode in the series on the psychology of peak performance. I have an extraordinary guest joining me: three-time Olympian, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and four-time world champion, Kaleigh Gilchrist.

Kaleigh’s athletic journey is inspiring not just for her success in both water polo and surfing but for her remarkable resilience after a life-altering accident during the 2019 World Championships in South Korea.

In this candid and vulnerable conversation, Kaleigh shares just what truly sets elite athletes apart, it’s not just about talent, it’s about mindset; the ability to handle pressure, and commit fully—on the good days and the tough ones.

From the intensity of training for the Olympics and moments of self-doubt to the harsh realities of injury, recovery, and psychological healing, Kaleigh shares the pivotal role of mentorship, therapy, and self-awareness in her comeback.

You’ll hear how a brush with tragedy shifted her perspective, ignited a “Mamba Mission” inspired by Kobe Bryant, and ultimately led to personal growth that transcended her athletic career.

Whether you’re an athlete, an aspiring high performer, or simply facing your own challenges, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons on resilience, mental toughness, and finding new purpose beyond the competition.

Get ready for a raw and inspiring look at what it means to truly “shift or get off the pot”—and how to use adversity as fuel for creating something greater.
