What if the exhaustion, anger, and the feeling like you're just surviving each day isn't just stress... it's your body trying to tell you something bigger?
This is a conversation with Lisa Walker, a woman who's lived through chronic stress, grief, and burnout, and came out the other side with a radical approach to living her life.
She's studied the science of stress, nervous system regulation, and what actually makes life worth living. And she's getting brutally honest about what happens to your body when you push through for too long.
In this episode, Lisa opens up about the years she spent in survival mode, raising young kids, running a business, and managing a marriage affected by addiction that ended in death.
She shares the phone call that changed everything, the year of yes that followed, and why she now believes that wellbeing literacy is the number one thing we're missing.
Here's what we're exploring:
Why so many women hit burnout in their mid 40s (and what chronic stress is actually doing to your body)
The difference between emotional dysregulation and nervous system dysregulation (and how they're connected)
How grief isn't just about losing a person, it's about grieving the life you thought you were going to have
Why sitting in stillness might not be the answer for everyone (and what to do instead)
The practical tools that actually work: journaling, meditation, breath work, creativity, and the power of a year of yes
Why living with radical aliveness means being brave enough to feel it all
This one is for the woman who's been running on empty, who's been told she's fine when she knows something deeper is going on, and who's ready to understand what her body is trying to tell her.

Introducing The Friendship Experiment:

We're lonelier than ever. Despite being more connected than any generation before us, loneliness is now being called the epidemic of our lifetime. Coupled with the fact that making friends in your 30s is tricky… And the world is telling us AI solves everything, yet research consistently shows that relationships are the single greatest predictor of how long we live and the quality of that life. We are most certainly in a pickle.

We asked ourselves whether we could actually do something about it.

In 1997, psychologist Arthur Aron published a study exploring whether intimacy could be accelerated between strangers using just 36 questions, delivered in three sets of increasing depth. The results were pretty remarkable. We've taken his experiment and tweaked it: what happens when you apply it to female friendship instead of romantic love?

The Friendship Experiment is a three-part mini series where I answer all 36 questions myself, raw and increasingly personal, before opening them up to our community inside our private podcast discussion group. It's an experiment of an experiment, and an exciting new format for the show to explore a deeper two-way street connection between podcast and you, our community.

It's intimate and joyful, and something new :)

Here's what we're exploring:

Why making friends in your 30s feels harder than it used to (and what we can do about it)

The science behind why vulnerability creates connection

My unfiltered answers to the first set of 12 questions like

This one’s for the chicks craving deeper connection, who are tired of surface-level networking, and looking for friendships that feel good for the soul.

Today’s episode is a little different! I'm actively looking for FSC fangirls (aka you). The women who've been listening for years, who've slipped into my DMs, left reviews, told a friend about an episode that sparked something... Our hype girls. Because we're launching something new, FSC 2.0, and I want you to be part of it :)
Here's what I’m sharing with you:
Why FSC started as a way to figure out what I wanted to do with my life (and how that's evolving now)
The moment I realized I'd outgrown the "startup" label (but didn't need to burn the whole thing down)
What FSC 2.0 actually is: the go-to show for modern women building a life that’s super rich in health, wealth & collected wisdom
Why I'm launching a private group chat and IRL events (and how you can be part of it)
