Feeling Off? It Might Be Your Nervous System with Stacey Johnson

Stacey Johnson is a women’s resilience coach and former therapist who helps high-achieving women regulate their nervous systems, stop overthinking, and rebuild their lives after grief, burnout, or major transitions.

In this episode:

• Stacey shares how losing her husband led her to leave therapy and start coaching women through burnout and overwhelm.
• Stacey talks about why high-achieving women put themselves last and believe they have to keep pushing through.
• She explains what a dysregulated nervous system feels like (spoiler: that tight chest and constant exhaustion might be a clue!).
• Stacey shares easy first steps like a self-care assessment and even just taking a few deep breaths during the day.
• She talks about how our thoughts can keep us in stress and why shifting beliefs is key to real relief.
• She explains why guilt kicks in when we slow down and gives tricks like thought dumps to let go of it.
• Stacey reminds us that asking for help isn’t weakness — even surgeons don’t work alone — and offers her free Breakthrough Kit to get started.
