S2 Ep. 47 | Why You're Still Exhausted Even When You're Doing the Work with Debbie Heiser

You're doing the inner work. You're reading the books, showing up to the coaching calls, saying yes to growth. So why does it still feel so heavy?

That question comes up in my community more than almost any other, and it's exactly what Debbie Heiser and I get into in this episode. Debbie is the founder of The Lit Up Life and brings over 25 years of experience in corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, neuroscience, and transformational coaching. She helps purpose-driven women reconnect with who they are and build lives and businesses that feel meaningful and sustainable. She also teaches leadership at Gonzaga University, and honestly, this conversation is a masterclass.

What you'll take away from this episode:

Why fear and excitement feel identical in your body and how that's silently draining your energy

How subconscious beliefs and generational patterns keep you stuck even when you're actively growing

Why the things that used to fill your cup may only be bringing you back to neutral right now

The real cost of over-giving and why saying no without explanation is a nervous system regulation tool

Why receiving is harder than achieving for most women and how to start shifting that

If this conversation lands for you, share it with a woman in your life who is doing all the work and still wondering why she's tired. She needs this one.
