Broken to Brave | Guiding you to heal & break free from anxiety
On the outside you look like you have it all together. On the inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in survival mode. Broken to BRAVE is where high-achieving women learn they’re not failing and finally find the calm, confidence, and freedom they’ve been craving.
I’m Dr. Steph, a former NASA psychologist turned healing coach. In this podcast, I’ll walk with you through the patterns that keep you over-functioning, people-pleasing, and second-guessing yourself, and I’ll show you how to break free. You’ll hear real stories, simple steps, and the brave questions that change everything.
You don’t need another set of coping tools. What you need is a way back to yourself.
Week by week, I will help you calm your nervous system, build self-trust, and see yourself in a new way….not as failing, not as too much. Instead, as a woman who is capable of peace, presence, and joy.

You Don’t Have to Pretend to Be Good
If you’ve ever smiled when you wanted to cry, said yes when you wanted to scream no, or played the role of “the strong one” until it broke you—this episode is for you. I’m unpacking the “Good Girl” script and how it trains us to perform for approval at the expense of our truth. I’ll walk you through the emotional and physical cost of pretending, how this pattern gets wired into our nervous system, and what it takes to come back home to yourself. It’s time to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace.
In this episode, I cover the following:
1. How the “good girl” script teaches women to perform, please, and pretend.
2. Why pretending feels safe—but actually creates internal chaos.
3. Small, practical shifts to stop abandoning yourself and start choosing truth.
