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.

Broken to Brave | Guiding you to heal & break free from anxiety
You Can't Heal What You Don't Own
We say we want growth. We say we want healing. But when it comes to taking full ownership of our choices, our reactions, and the messes we’ve made, that’s often where we quietly pull back.
Self-accountability isn’t sexy. It’s not the part of healing that gets celebrated. But it’s one of the clearest turning points in any transformation. It’s the moment we stop waiting for someone else to change and start looking at what’s actually in our control, not from a place of shame, but from a place of power.
In this episode, I walk through the subtle, everyday ways we avoid accountability and how that avoidance keeps us stuck in patterns we say we want to break. If you’ve ever said “I ran out of time” or “I was just overwhelmed” or “Well, if they hadn’t done that…” this one’s for you.
In This Episode, I Cover:
- The ten quiet ways we avoid taking ownership of our behavior
- How a dysregulated nervous system reacts to feedback or mistakes
- What real self-accountability sounds like in language and action
Journal Prompts:
1. What’s one pattern I’ve blamed others for… that I might be contributing to?
2. When was the last time I got defensive? What was I trying to protect myself from?
3. How do I respond when I realize I made a mistake?
4. When I don’t do something I said I was going to do, how do I respond?
5. What would it feel like to repair, not out of shame, but out of courage?
