You’re doing everything right — taking care of yourself, practicing embodiment, doing the mindset work — but something still feels off.
If you’ve ever found yourself exhausted, overwhelmed, or battling physical symptoms despite all your efforts… this episode is for you.
Today, Dr Nancy is joined by her former client Brea Fisher — a gifted teacher of Chinese internal martial arts and founder of Guian Gun Fu — for a raw, powerful conversation about what happens when high-achieving women finally stop trying to do it all alone.
Brea shares:
How despite years of deep personal work, her body began sending loud distress signals she couldn’t decode on her own
Why her independence and "do it yourself" mindset was actually blocking her full healing
The subtle (and not-so-subtle) health symptoms she was experiencing — and how they completely transformed once she embraced deeper support
How asking for help opened a portal not just for physical healing, but for deeper leadership, creativity, and trust in life itself
If you’re tired of holding it all together on your own, if your body is whispering (or shouting) that it’s time for a change, listen closely.
This conversation could be the mirror you didn’t know you needed.
