We talk about the signs of burnout in women, the hidden ways our nervous system and hormones reveal when we\u2019re out of alignment, and how nervous system regulation and cycle syncing can become your greatest business advantage. Charl\u00e8ne shares her journey from workaholic to high-performance coach, offering science-backed and deeply feminine strategies to protect your energy and create sustainable success.
