The Becoming You Project
Break the rules. Rewrite your life. Return to yourself.
You’ve done all the right things. Checked the boxes. Filled in the blanks. Created a life that looks good on paper… But there’s still something missing.
Maybe you feel disconnected or drained…like you’re living a life that doesn’t quite feel like yours.
Or you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out.
Or maybe there’s a quiet knowing that there’s more out there for you… you’re just not sure how to find it, or what more even means.
This podcast is about finding the path home to ourselves. It’s about knowing ourselves deeply, and what we really want in life, so we can create from a place that feels meaningful, aligned, and purpose-driven. It’s about restoring our energy so we can stop living in survival mode and start living with intention.
It’s about learning to hear our own voices beneath the noise – and trusting ourselves enough to use them.
Hosted by Jess Callahan – energy alignment coach, entrepreneur, and burnout survivor – The Becoming You Project explores what it really means to break free from the roles, expectations, and conditioning that keep us small, exhausted, and out of alignment.
Through intimate storytelling, powerful interviews, and soulful tools rooted in self-discovery, energy work, and modern psychology, you’ll uncover what’s truly been missing all along: you.
★ Rediscover your voice and intuition
★ Reconnect with your body’s wisdom
★ Redefine success on your terms
★ Learn how to live, love, work, and lead from a place of deep alignment
★ Explore what “more” means for you – and how to find it without burning out
This isn’t a podcast about doing more. It’s about becoming more you – with clarity, courage, and compassion. If you’re ready to stop performing and start reclaiming your power, realigning your energy, and living life on your terms, you’re in the right place.

The Truth About Dysregulation: Why You Feel Stuck and Numb (02)
Why does change feel so hard – even when we know something needs to shift? Whether you’re trying to leave a job that drains you, manifest a new chapter, repair a relationship, or finally prioritize you, the process of change often feels impossible. In this solo episode of The Becoming You Project, Jess unpacks the real reason change feels so overwhelming – and it has everything to do with your nervous system.
We’ll explore how chronic stress, burnout, emotional labor, and societal conditioning keep us stuck in a dysregulated state that makes growth feel unsafe. Jess shares insights from her own healing journey with fibromyalgia and nervous system dysfunction, and offers gentle, powerful tools to help you move from survival mode into regulation, clarity, and forward momentum.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why your nervous system resists change (even when you want it)
- An overview of dysregulated states including fight, flight, freeze, and fawn
- Signs you may be in nervous system dysregulation or functional freeze
- How emotional and physical symptoms (like fatigue, irritability, disconnection, and indecision) are actually signals from your body
- The hidden connection between chronic stress and loss of creativity, motivation, and joy
- Why regulating your nervous system is the missing link in creating real, lasting change
- Simple, accessible tools to re-regulate and get grounded – starting today
If you've ever wondered why you're doing all the right things but nothing is shifting… this episode is for you.
