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.

Overthinking Is Just Emotional Avoidance in Disguise
Ever find yourself stuck in a spiral of overanalyzing, replaying conversations, or trying to “figure out” your feelings? I’ve been there! In this episode, I’m breaking down a truth that changed everything for me: overthinking isn’t a mindset issue. It’s emotional avoidance wrapped in logic.
I’ll walk you through why your brain goes into overdrive, how your nervous system plays a role, and the simple shift that helps you reconnect to what’s actually underneath the spiral. If you’re tired of living in your head, this one’s for you.
In this episode, I cover the following:
1. Why overthinking is a nervous system response, not a personality flaw.
2. How emotional suppression fuels anxiety and mental spirals.
3. Simple first steps to help you pause, feel, and come back to yourself.
