What Is Your Stress Type? A Smarter Way to Balance Life, Work & You with Priyanka Venugopal | EU 281
Ever wonder why the Oreos in your pantry are calling your name louder than your toddler on a sugar high? In this witty and refreshingly honest convo, LMFT Veronica Cisneros sits down with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal—OB-GYN turned stress and health coach—to talk about the real reason high-achieving women struggle with weight, burnout, and emotional overload. Spoiler: it’s not because we’re lazy. It’s because we’ve been rewarded for staying in survival mode and never taught how to feel our feelings without numbing out with snacks, scrolling, or hustle. Dr. Priyanka breaks down her science-backed (and seriously relatable) approach to managing stress, cravings, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being a woman who does it all. From identifying your stress cycle to reprogramming your brain’s reward system, this episode is packed with “oh damn, that’s me” moments. Get ready to ditch the guilt, reclaim your peace, and maybe even look at your Cool Ranch Doritos a little differently.

Overwhelmed, Burned Out, and Tired of Doing it All: Why Working Moms Don't Need to Earn Rest to Feel Worthy | EU 280
Let’s get one thing straight: I love fireworks as much as the next overly scheduled woman running on caffeine and generational trauma. But this Fourth of July, we’re not talking about backyard barbecues and red-white-and-blue jello shots. No, friend. We’re talking about a very different kind of freedom—the kind that comes from laying down your emotional mop and stepping off the hamster wheel of doing the most. I’m talking about the freedom to not be the CEO of your marriage, your household, your kid’s extracurricular calendar, and your damn group chat. Because here’s what I know: you are tired. Not just yawn-and-stretch tired. I’m talking the soul-sucked, “Why am I crying while loading the dishwasher again?” kind of tired. You’ve held it together through career curveballs, toddler tantrums, and your in-laws' unsolicited opinions on everything from screen time to the state of your Tupperware drawer. And somewhere along the way, you stopped being the main character in your own life. Sound familiar? This episode is for you.

From Burnout to Boss Mode: How to Automate, Delegate, and Actually Enjoy Life Again with Lindsey Paulson | EU 279
Let’s just be real for a minute—if your self-care routine consists of skipping conditioner and hiding from your inbox, you might be doing too much. I know because I’ve been there. And so has today’s guest on the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast: Lindsey Paulson, CEO of LP Consulting, host of the Mess to Mission podcast, and queen of rescuing overwhelmed business owners from the dumpster fire of burnout. She joined me from inside a tornado warning (Kentucky, y’all) to talk systems, survival, and how to stop doing everything yourself like you’re auditioning for Superwoman… unpaid. “I was the problem. I can say it—I was the problem.” Let’s start with that truth bomb. Lindsay shared how her breaking point wasn’t some big, dramatic moment. It was the slow disappearance of joy. “I stopped loving my business. I didn’t want to go to the gym. My hair was always in a clip. That’s when I knew.” - Lindsey Paulson Sound familiar? Whether you’re running a business, a household, or both (plus maybe a soccer team and a group chat with 83 unread messages), the signs of burnout are often subtle. You’re numbing out on TikTok. You’re irritated for no reason. You’re too tired to care about the thing you built from scratch. Lindsey’s story hit me hard. Miscarriages. Managing addiction in her family. Parentin

Why High-Achieving Women Stuggle in Love (and What Breathwork Has to Do With It) with Francesca Sigma | EU 278
“We’ve been rewarded for being in control. But love, leadership, and joy don’t come from control—they come from presence.” – Francesca Sipma Let me set the scene: I’m sitting down with Francesca Sipma, founder of HypnoBreathwork®, and about five minutes into the conversation, I’m already contemplating if I should move to Bali, toss my planner in the trash, and just breathe for a living. Francesca doesn’t just teach breathwork—she lives it. She’s worked with CEOs, celebrities, and now, lucky us, she’s sharing how high-performing women like us can stop white-knuckling our way through life and start leading from a place of clarity, connection, and confidence.

HypnoBreathwork® is Francesca’s signature blend of breathwork, hypnosis, and visioning that helps people rewire their subconscious in as little as 20 minutes. It sounds like magic, but it’s deeply grounded in neuroscience. Tune in to learn more.

How to Calm the Hell Down Without Meds, Diets, or 5 AM Bootcamps with Danita Young | EU 277
If you’ve ever Googled “how to stop spiraling” while eating trail mix with one hand and texting your teen’s principal with the other—this episode is for you. I sat down with Danita Young, a transformation coach and 20-year health expert who is not here for the hustle culture, fake positivity, or diets that leave you eating air and regret. She’s flipping the script on everything we think we know about anxiety, weight loss, and control—and sis, you’re going to want to take notes. “Anxiety is your bodyguard. It’s not trying to ruin your life—it’s trying to keep you alive.” — Danita Young According to Danita, most of us are walking around with our nervous system in full DEFCON 1. That means we’re stuck in fight, flight, or freeze—not because we’re broken, but because our survival brain is running the show. Here’s what blew my mind: anxiety doesn’t show up to mess with us. It shows up because it thinks we’re in danger. And whether that danger is a toxic relationship, the fear of launching a business, or just the toddler’s silence (you knowsomething’s up)—your body sees it all as a threat. Instead of fighting your anxiety, Danita suggests you actually talk to it. Yep, like a weirdo. (A weirdo who gets results.) Let’s dive into what she said that blew my mind—and might just reset yours.
