Reconnecting With Your Body After Burnout, Shame, and Disconnection | with host Emily Duncan
In this episode, I'm talking to high-performing women who feel disconnected from their bodies… not just physically, but energetically and emotionally too. If you've gone months or years avoiding mirrors and photos, skipping workouts, ignoring hunger or fatigue cues, hiding in your clothes, or outsourcing your worth to the scale, this episode is for you. You're not broken, but you are checked out. And it's time to check back in. I walk you through a four-phase reconnection framework designed to help you gently and powerfully rebuild trust with your body without guilt, shame, or extreme overcorrection. This is about moving away from punishment and into partnership. I want you to become the woman who doesn't just look good, but actually feels good in her skin again. We talk about honesty without shame, why performative discipline keeps women stuck, how to rebuild safety through pace and structure, why micro-commitments matter more than massive overhauls, and how reclaiming your personal standards is the key to lasting confidence and embodiment. This episode is an invitation to reconnect, not by going backward, but by doing it better this time. In this episode, I cover: Why high-performing women disconnect from their bodies Honesty without shame vs guilt spirals Compassion and accountability Performative discipline vs embodied discipline Pace, ramping, and evaluation for sustainable change Why extreme resets and challenges fail Micro-commitments and rebuilding self-trust Reclaiming personal standards without punishment Choice points and self-leadership Moving from punishment to partnership with your body For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.

Rediscovering Your Inner Bad-Ass | with host Emily Duncan

Rediscovering Your Inner Bad-Ass | with host Emily Duncan
In this episode, I'm talking directly to the woman who feels like she's lost herself somewhere along the way. If you've gone through a "soft girl era," burnout, or a season where rest quietly turned into stagnation… this conversation is for you. I unpack how high-performing women often overcorrect when they're exhausted, and how that pendulum swing can disconnect us from our drive, fire, and identity. I walk through the exact mental frameworks, identity questions, and personal audits I used to reconnect with my inner badass, without swinging back into hustle, burnout, or self-punishment. We talk about why excellence is earned, why balance is often the wrong goal, how to use strategic imbalance, and why wanting more does not make you vain, selfish, or wrong. This episode is an invitation to stop shrinking, stop numbing, and stop pretending you don't want the life you actually want, and to start living in alignment with the woman you know you're meant to be. In this episode, we cover: Why "soft girl era" can become a trap for high-performing women How burnout makes shrinking feel attractive The difference between rest and self-abandonment Why excellence is not an accident, it's lived How identity (not motivation) drives lasting change Using strategic imbalance instead of chasing balance Being productively self-critical without shame Why guilt around wanting more blocks growth How to ruthlessly protect your vision and desires Reconnecting with ambition, standards, and self-trust If this episode resonates, share it with a woman who's ready to stop playing small and start becoming "her" again.

Why High-Performing Women Struggle With Their Body (and How to Fix It) | with host Emily Duncan

Why High-Performing Women Struggle With Their Body (and How to Fix It) | with host Emily Duncan
In this episode, I'm talking directly to high-performing women who feel like their body is the one area of life that won't fall into place, no matter how disciplined or successful they are everywhere else. I see this pattern constantly: women who are crushing it in their careers, relationships, and personal standards, yet feel deep internal shame because their body doesn't reflect the level of excellence they hold themselves to. And the truth is — this isn't about laziness, lack of discipline, or "not wanting it badly enough." In this episode, I break down why high-achieving women so often struggle with fat loss and body composition, even when they're doing "all the right things," and what actually needs to change to fix it. We talk about metabolic adaptation from chronic under-eating, why effort without strategy backfires, how all-or-nothing thinking keeps women stuck, why your old fitness tools stop working as your life grows, and what it really means to reconnect with your body in a way that supports long-term performance. This is about moving out of punishment and into partnership with your body — and building a fitness identity that matches the standards you already live by everywhere else. In this episode, I cover: Why high-performing women often feel disconnected from their bodies Chronic under-eating, metabolic adaptation, and stalled fat loss Why strategy beats brute force in fitness All-or-nothing thinking and how it sabotages consistency Outgrowing old fitness tools as life responsibilities increase Nervous system regulation vs. performance avoidance What embodied self-leadership in fitness actually looks like For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.

Discipline Over Motivation: How High Performers Build Sustainable Success with Lacey Newman
In this episode, I sit down with Lacey Newman for a grounded, honest conversation about what actually creates long-term success — in business, leadership, and life. We talk about discipline versus motivation, identity-based standards, and why so many high performers burn out chasing short-term wins instead of building something sustainable. Lacey shares her experience as a real estate professional, coach, speaker, and TV host, and how her definition of success has evolved as she's grown personally and professionally. This conversation is especially for anyone who feels tired of hustle culture but also knows they're meant for more — and wants to build a life that feels aligned, disciplined, and deeply fulfilling. In this episode, we cover: Why discipline beats motivation every time Identity and standards as the foundation of success Building consistency without burning out Leadership, responsibility, and self-trust Creating a life you don't need to escape from Lacey is a real estate professional, coach, speaker, and TV host who has built her career around leadership, discipline, and long-term thinking. What I really respect about Lacey is that she doesn't sell motivation or hustle for hustle's sake: she talks about responsibility, standards, and becoming the kind of person who can actually sustain success.

The Cost of Staying the Same That You Don't Even Know You're Paying: Why Playing It Safe Is Holding You Back | with host Emily Duncan

The Cost of Staying the Same That You Don't Even Know You're Paying: Why Playing It Safe Is Holding You Back | with host Emily Duncan
Most people don't fail. They don't crash and burn. They just stay the same without ever fully realizing it. In this end-of-year solo episode, I'm unpacking something most people don't want to look at: the hidden cost of staying exactly where you are, and why so many of us think we're changing while unconsciously playing it safe. We talk about the difference between performing change and embodying it, why setting goals alone doesn't actually transform your life, and how loyalty to a familiar identity can quietly keep you stuck for years. If you've been telling yourself: "I'll change when things slow down," "I just need to feel ready," or "It's not that bad," this episode is your invitation to pause and get radically honest. Because staying the same isn't neutral. It's already costing you: in energy, self-trust, and time. And the only real question is whether you're willing to stop confusing intention with transformation. This Episode Is For You If: You set goals every year but feel like nothing really shifts You're "doing the work" but still playing small or safe You're high-functioning, successful on paper, but internally restless You're ready to stop negotiating with yourself and raise your standards Fitness, health, and holistic wellness for $22/month Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?
