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.

Chronic Illness Is a Story We Can Rewrite with Karyn Shanks MD
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if chronic illness isn’t just something to fix, but a story we’ve been taught to accept as truth?
In this conversation, I sit down with Karyn Shanks, MD, to explore what healing really means when we stop treating the body like a broken machine and start listening to the whole person. We talk about disappointment in conventional medicine, the courage it takes to question the stories we’ve been given, and how trauma, fatigue, and even autoimmune symptoms can be invitations back to ourselves.
This episode feels like a deep exhale, a reminder that the body is not wrong, and that small, simple shifts can open doors we didn’t know were there.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why the body is never wrong, and symptoms are messages, not mistakes.
- How trauma, even small t trauma, shapes chronic illness and survival biology.
- The power of small, simple shifts and reclaiming your own story as part of healing.
