Alicia knows that story too well. In her 20s, she was running on pure FOMO, perfectionism, and the constant need to prove she was “enough.” But by 30, she hit a wall so hard it shattered her—career gone, relationship over, social life dust. Living back at her parents’ house, Alicia could barely function without getting overstimulated. Then, in one yoga class, everything cracked open. For the first time, she heard her body speak: “Why don’t you love me? Why don’t you take care of me?” That was her wake-up call—the moment she decided to stop living for everyone else and start listening to her damn self. We dive deep into the toxic cycle of people-pleasing, why it’s tied to burnout, and the brutal work it takes to retrain your nervous system so it feels safe to say no. Alicia lays it all out—her non-negotiable boundaries, how she chooses relationships that fuel her instead of drain her, and how she helps clients do the same using intuition, tarot, and nervous system tools. If you’ve ever ignored your body to meet someone else’s expectations, if you’ve ever pushed yourself past the breaking point just to be “worthy,” this conversation is your permission slip to stop. Burnout isn’t the end—it’s the breakdown that can become your breakthrough.
