From Pissed Off to Poised- A Podcast for Busy Women Professionals
This podcast is designed to help overcommitted women, physicians, and
professionals move from being reactionary—often feeling anger and
resentment—to becoming more intentional and responsive. The goal is to
help you enjoy life while still getting everything that needs to be done,
done.
In this show, we’ll dive deep into how to shift from reacting to responding
when it comes to anger, while recognizing that the first step to making a change is building our awareness. I’ll also share practical tips on how to say "yes" only to what truly matters to you and create a calendaring system that works—one that honors your commitments to both yourself and others.
As a retired pediatrician, the co-founder of Virginia iSpine Physicians, and
a trauma informed certified mindset coach I have navigated multiple career transitions in life and am still evolving as I apply these concepts in other areas with grace and vulnerability. I want to share what I have learned over the years so that you can start to create more peace in your day to day life,
as you begin to shift from reaction to response.

Ep 11: Going to Neutral Using Heart Mind Coherence
In this episode, I introduce the concept of "going to neutral"—a powerful practice that helps you pause when emotions flare, so you can respond with intention, not reaction. I’m sharing practical tools and insights to help you consciously create a calm, balanced space by aligning your heart and mind.
We’ll dive into exercises that tap into the heart's role in transforming how we show up, especially when anger arises. By understanding the unique rhythms of your heart and pairing that with cognitive techniques, you can slow down emotional reactions and regain control over how you respond.
My goal is to give you a toolkit of practices you can personalize. Find the ones that speak to you, and start building your own approach. Each of us needs a unique blend to shape a more positive mindset—explore these tools and create the pathway that works best for you.
What You'll Learn:
- Powerful breathing exercises to dampen the intensity of negative emotions, giving you more control over your responses.
- How to harness your heart’s electromagnetic field—the strongest in your body—to create coherence with other systems, helping you find calm when emotions run high.
- The “Go to Neutral” tool, a strategy to halt anger before it escalates, allowing you to stay present and uncover the true roots of your feelings.
- Real-life examples of how these techniques have transformed my approach to anger and can also reshape the way you respond.
