You can be hitting goals, raising a family, building a business, and still feel completely disconnected from yourself.

In this episode, Jodi sits down with master intuitive psychology coach and Purpose Panda founder Gemma Price to talk about the kind of burnout high achievers often miss: the kind that looks productive on the outside but feels numb, exhausting, and misaligned underneath.

They unpack the early signs that you may be running on empty, why slowing down can feel unsafe when your identity is tied to achievement, and how to stop overriding the inner voice that is trying to get your attention. Gemma shares her traffic-light check-in, simple ways to regulate your nervous system in the middle of chaos, and a practical decision-making tool to help you reconnect with your intuition before you make another move from depletion.

They also talk about creating spaces that help you exhale, using AI as a tool without losing the human connection, and what it really looks like to build a life that holds success, joy, and balance at the same time.

This episode is for anyone who is “fine” but not really fine, and ready to come back to themselves.
