Why High-Achieving Women Are Secretly Burned Out| (feat. Felicia Brown)| Ep. 67

What if your success was built on survival mode? In this deeply honest episode of Travel Time Stories, Shannon and Ann sit down with trauma-informed therapist, emotional regulation coach, and self-trust expert Felicia Brown to talk about burnout, people-pleasing, nervous system survival, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure many women feel to constantly “hold it all together.” Before becoming a licensed professional counselor, Felicia spent 15 years in education while privately battling anxiety, exhaustion, and chronic survival mode. During COVID—and while parenting three adopted children with significant trauma histories and ADHD—her understanding of healing and emotional safety completely changed.
