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.

You Can't Talk Yourself Out of a Panic Attack
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've ever tried to reason with yourself in the middle of a panic attack and it didn't work, there's a reason for that. It's not because you said the wrong thing or didn't try hard enough. It's because panic isn't happening in the thinking part of your brain. It's a body response, and no amount of self-talk reaches the part of your system that's already activated.
In this episode, I'm walking through why the tools most people reach for during panic, the reassurance, the logic, the "just calm down," aren't touching the pattern underneath. There's a difference between getting through a moment and actually changing what your nervous system does next time.
In This Episode, I Cover:
- Why reasoning with yourself during panic doesn't work the way you think it should.
- The difference between managing anxiety in the moment and recalibrating your nervous system over time.
- What to shift your attention to instead when those sensations start to rise.
