Welcome back to This Is How She Does It with Angela Lee. In this episode, Angela sits down with Karen Canham, Board Certified Wellness Coach and founder of KarenAnn Wellness, to explore nervous system regulation, burnout, and high performance for working moms and ambitious women.
Drawing from neuroscience, somatic practices, and parts work therapy, Karen shares how a dysregulated nervous system is often the root cause of stress, reactivity, perfectionism, and burnout. From snapping at your kids to numbing out with scrolling or wine, these behaviors aren’t failures—they’re signals.
You’ll learn simple, practical tools to regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and build emotional resilience, plus a powerful framework (the “stoplight” method) to better understand your reactions in everyday life.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in survival mode, this episode will help you reconnect with your body, reclaim your energy, and create more calm, clarity, and presence.
Key Takeaways:
• Nervous system regulation is the key to reducing burnout and stress • Somatic tools help interrupt reactive patterns • Perfectionism keeps you stuck in chronic overwhelm • Building emotional awareness leads to more calm, clarity, and resilience
