Broken to Brave | Guiding you to heal & break free from anxiety
On the outside you look like you have it all together. On the inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in survival mode. Broken to BRAVE is where high-achieving women learn they’re not failing and finally find the calm, confidence, and freedom they’ve been craving.
I’m Dr. Steph, a former NASA psychologist turned healing coach. In this podcast, I’ll walk with you through the patterns that keep you over-functioning, people-pleasing, and second-guessing yourself, and I’ll show you how to break free. You’ll hear real stories, simple steps, and the brave questions that change everything.
You don’t need another set of coping tools. What you need is a way back to yourself.
Week by week, I will help you calm your nervous system, build self-trust, and see yourself in a new way….not as failing, not as too much. Instead, as a woman who is capable of peace, presence, and joy.

Looking for Validation? It Starts From Within
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you find yourself craving recognition but feeling awkward when you actually get it? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m diving into why we seek external validation and how it quietly starts shaping our self-worth. I’ll share my view on how society wires us to chase approval and, more importantly, how to break free from that cycle. You’ll learn simple ways to recognize your own achievements, build genuine self-acceptance, and feel truly seen—without relying on anyone else’s praise.
In this episode, I cover the following:
1. Why we crave recognition and how it’s wired into us biologically and socially.
2. How to recognize when validation becomes a need and starts impacting self-worth.
3. Steps to cultivate genuine self-acceptance and give yourself the recognition you deserve.
