• When Doing It All Becomes a Cage: The Sovereignty Shift Every High-Achieving Woman Must Make

  There’s a silent cost to being the capable one. You hit the milestones. You built the business. You became the one everyone could count on. But somewhere along the way, your nervous system forgot how to receive. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the hidden blind spot so many high-performing women carry: the over-functioning that looks like power, but is actually protection. "You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl?" – Rumi And as I say: “When you unbecome who you were taught to be, you become who you were born to be.”This episode is a reclamation. Not of your achievements, but of your ability to feel soft, supported, and safe… even as you scale.
