In this heartfelt episode of To Human with Nurse Nell, I sit down with my friend and fellow coach Danielle (aka Nurse Nell) to share the behind-the-scenes story of how I went from an “insecure overachiever” to becoming the grounded, bold, and free woman I am today.
We talk about what it really means to feel safe in your body, the cost of checking all the boxes while feeling empty inside, and how emotional healing and nervous system work helped me come back home to myself.
If you’re a high-achieving woman who feels like you’ve done everything you’re supposed to—but still feel anxious, trapped, or unfulfilled—this conversation will speak to your soul.
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear:
- My journey from a small town in China to the C-suite—and why “success” still left me feeling miserable
- How COVID cracked me open and forced me to face the truth I’d been avoiding
- The moment I realized therapy and coaching weren’t luxuries—they were lifelines
- What nervous system regulation really looks like (and how I teach my clients to slow down)
- How I process emotions in real time and why it’s changed my life
- The difference between trauma-driven leadership and grounded, embodied leadership
- Why freedom—not perfection—is now my definition of success
- The surprising thing that helped me unlock creativity and joy (hint: improv!)
This episode is for anyone who’s done all the “right” things but still feels like something’s missing. You are not broken. You’re just ready for something deeper.
