In this episode of This Is How She Does It, Angela Lee sits down with Sabrina Ritchie, a dual board-certified nurse practitioner, mom of three, and founder of Thoughtful Therapies, for a powerful, honest conversation about burnout, women’s health, and what it really takes to rebuild yourself from the ground up.
What makes Sabrina’s perspective so unique is that she’s seen burnout from both sides. Despite her clinical training and expertise, she still found herself completely overwhelmed and dismissed by a healthcare system that often treats diagnoses instead of the whole person. That experience became the catalyst for creating a more integrative, whole-body approach to care.
Together, Angela and Sabrina dive into:
• What perimenopause actually is—and why so many women are being brushed off by doctors • How social media comparison is quietly fueling loneliness and disconnection • The truth about burnout in motherhood and high-achieving women • What it really looks like to rebuild your identity, energy, and sense of self • The big question: can women truly “have it all,” or do we need a new definition?
This conversation is raw, validating, and deeply insightful, especially for working moms who feel stuck in survival mode and are craving a more aligned, supported way of living.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or like you’re doing everything “right” but still burning out, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone—and that there is another way.
