Women Entrepreneurs: From Over-Serving to Self-Leadership (Heal Your Inner System, End Burnout) 09/11/2025

Women Entrepreneurs: From Over-Serving to Self-Leadership (Heal Your Inner System, End Burnout) Are you serving everyone but yourself? In this episode, Dr. Naleeni Partrap—an intuitive business coach and pharmacist—joins Kathy to unpack how inner system leadership (inspired by IFS principles) helps women entrepreneurs end burnout, set clean boundaries, and grow with ease. We break down the “good girl” myths that fuel over-giving, why tactics fail without nervous-system alignment, and how to reassign the parts running your hustle (the Pleaser, the Perfectionist, the Firefighter). Expect practical prompts to upgrade your pricing, capacity, and energy—so your business stops taking from you and starts sustaining you. Connect with Dr. Naleeni Partap at Instagram at or Explore more from Kathy at kathybaldwin.me and grab her books: Unlearn the Crap & Level UP: Your Soul is Calling and How I Unlearned MY Crap and the last of the trilogy The Unlearned Life (Amazon + bookstores). Listen, share, and leave a review—your voice grows this movement. Show notes include Dr. Neela’s links and resources. 🎙️ Key Highlights Guest’s “Crap to Unlearn:” The world taught her to serve; her soul asked her to receive. People-pleasing, over-giving, and ignoring her own boundaries were glamorized—until she learned to lead her inner system (think: parts, beliefs, nervous system) and run a business from wholeness, not urgency. Kathy’s Tie-In: Kathy connects this to unlearning conditioned responses that keep women hustling for validation—then rebuilding success on aligned habits, self-trust, and clean systems. Context: We touch on Internal Family Systems (IFS) ideas and why inner self-leadership is the missing operational backbone for sustainable entrepreneurship. Relatable Signs & Patterns: Chronic burnout, resentment after “doing everything right,” fuzzy boundaries, under-pricing, perfectionism, stop-start marketing, and “I’ll rest when…” loops. Myths We Bust: “Service means self-sacrifice,” “Hustle is the only path,” “Emotions don’t belong in business,” and “Strong women don’t need help.” Action Step: Start an Inner System Audit: identify your over-functioning parts (the Saver, the Hustler, the Pleaser), give them new roles, and make one boundary or pricing upgrade this week. Guest CTA: Learn more about Dr. Neela’s inner-system coaching for women entrepreneurs (link in show notes). 💡 Memorable Quotes Dr. Neela: “We have to know that the Self lives within us—our parts aren’t bad; they just need leadership.” Dr. Neela: “You can’t hand someone a tactic and ignore how their parts will react to it.” Dr. Neela: “A sign of strength is facing what you couldn’t access before and giving it a role that serves you.” Kathy: “It’s not you that’s broken—it’s the conditioning you’re unlearning so your genius can lead.” Kathy: “When you build from alignment, your business becomes sustainable—and your life gets bigger.” /episode/index/show/a820279f-9d10-453d-9c2e-95466cf1920c/id/38182235

In this episode, Kathy sits down with hormone and thyroid expert Amanda Hinman to translate the body’s signals into a clear plan.

Kathy’s Tie-In: You share how “listening to symptoms as language” is part of unlearning—moving from self-blame to bio-curiosity. Notable Insights: Gut, stress axis, and thyroid talk constantly; one autoimmune diagnosis increases risk of others; cortisol and blood sugar patterns can stall fat loss even with “perfect” habits. Relatable Signs & Patterns: Extreme fatigue, stubborn weight, insomnia, acne/hair loss, IBS/ulcers, brain fog, cycle changes, low libido, wired-and-tired nights. Myths/Taboos Challenged: “Eat less, move more” ≠ metabolic healing “It’s just aging/perimenopause—deal with it” “Normal labs” mean you’re fine More cardio is always the answer Guest Freebies / Action Steps: 📖 Book: 🌿 Free Consultation: 🧰 Free Resource: Listen-and-Do: Track 7 days of sleep, energy dips, and cravings; add protein + fiber to breakfast; 10 minutes of nervous-system down-shift before bed. /episode/index/show/a820279f-9d10-453d-9c2e-95466cf1920c/id/38089935

Poop, Power & People-Pleasing: Unlearning the Good Girl with Nikky Golly Let’s talk about the crap we hold in—literally. This powerful episode with Nikky Golly, a gut health mentor and self-proclaimed poop expert, explores the connection between digestive issues and emotional suppression. Together, Kathy and Nikky unearth the real reasons behind chronic constipation, bloating, and burnout—and it has a lot more to do with your childhood conditioning than your fiber intake. They dive deep into what it means to trust your gut, release shame around digestion, and finally unlearn the good girl script that keeps women sick, stuck, and spiritually silent. Connect and learn more with Nikki at her website 🎧 Listen on all platforms or go to 📚 Read Kathy’s books: Unlearn the Crap & Level UP and How I Unlearned MY Crap (Amazon + bookstores) 🎙️ Key Highlights: Crap to Unlearn: Nikky challenges the “good girl” programming and reveals how deeply it’s tied to digestive dysfunction, emotional suppression, and burnout. Kathy's Reflection: Kathy connects the dots between her own digestive shutdowns and the pressure to keep up appearances. Her body was trying to tell the truth her mouth wouldn’t speak. Fascinating Gut Fact: Your gut produces over 90% of the body’s serotonin—meaning poop is emotional. Literally. And constipation is often energetic. Relatable Signs: Chronic constipation, gut issues, bloating, shame around bodily functions, “holding it all in” emotionally and physically Myths Debunked: “Good girls don’t talk about poop” Digestive issues are just physical You can heal emotionally without addressing the gut Women’s bodies should be quiet, contained, and controlled Guest’s Wisdom Nugget: “Your body doesn’t lie. If you’re backed up emotionally, you’re probably backed up physically too.” 💡 Memorable Quotes: From Nikky Golly: "I became the poop queen because I stopped being ashamed of what every body does." "Success without alignment is just burnout in a prettier outfit—with IBS." "Your gut is your second brain, and it’s screaming when your mouth won’t." "When I started pooping regularly, I also started telling the truth." "We’re emotionally constipated and spiritually starved—and it shows in our digestion." From Kathy Baldwin: "We don’t just unlearn beliefs—we unlearn where we’ve been stuck in the body." "Healing my gut was the beginning of reclaiming my voice." "I had to stop trying to look like I had it all together while my insides were screaming." /episode/index/show/a820279f-9d10-453d-9c2e-95466cf1920c/id/37625220

You Don’t Have to Perform Your Worth: Unlearning Survival Roles & Nervous System Rewiring 07/24/2025

You Don’t Have to Perform Your Worth: Unlearning Survival Roles & Nervous System Rewiring Ever feel like you’re doing all the healing work—but still stuck in the same survival loop? In this powerful episode, Kathy Baldwin sits down with Girisha Andrea Steigler, an embodiment guide and nervous system healer, to unlearn the performative patterns that high-achieving women carry: savior syndrome, overgiving, and the constant pursuit of external validation. Together they explore the role of fascia, trauma, and stored emotion in shaping our identity—and how somatic healing offers the key to truly “leveling up.” You’ll hear raw stories, scientific insight, and soul-level truths that challenge the myth that success must come from struggle. 🎁 Find Girisha’s work and free offerings on Instagram @girisha.andrea.steigler 📚 Explore Kathy’s books: Unlearn the Crap & Level UP and How I Unlearned MY Crap — now on Amazon & bookstores worldwide. ✨ Visit to start your own soul-led transformation. Don’t forget to subscribe, share, and drop a comment if this episode moved you. 🎙️ Key Highlights: Crap to Unlearn: The belief that self-worth must be earned through external achievements and over-functioning. Girisha had to dismantle the survival patterns of “good girl,” “performer,” and “savior” to reclaim her true identity. Kathy’s Reflection: Kathy reveals her own entanglement with performance and caregiving identities—how she collapsed after being “too strong for too long.” Embodied Healing Wisdom: Girisha explains how trauma is stored in the nervous system and fascia, and how body-based healing—not just mindset—unlocks transformation. High-Achiever Burnout Signs: Chronic overgiving, boundary collapse, imposter syndrome, constant productivity pressure, feeling “never enough.” Challenged Myths: That healing must be linear, talk therapy is enough, or success equals hustle. Practical Reframe: Emotions aren’t problems to fix—they’re messengers. And healing isn’t fixing yourself, it’s remembering who you are underneath the programming. Girisha’s Gift: Listeners are invited to explore her embodied work and upcoming somatic offerings via her Instagram and healing sessions. 💡 Memorable Quotes: Girisha: “The body remembers what the mind forgets. That’s where the truth lives.” “You don’t heal by thinking your way through—it’s in the pause, the breath, the tremble.” “I had to stop performing healing and actually feel it.” Kathy: “I didn’t just collapse emotionally—I collapsed energetically. And in that collapse, I heard my soul.” “You can’t level up if you’re still trying to earn your worth with every step.” /episode/index/show/a820279f-9d10-453d-9c2e-95466cf1920c/id/37532720

From Good Girl to Truth Teller: Unlearning Patriarchal Myths & Reclaiming Feminine Identity 05/14/2025

From Good Girl to Truth Teller: Unlearning Patriarchal Myths & Reclaiming Feminine Identity What do you do when a guest says something that doesn’t sit right—and you stay silent? If you’re Kathy Baldwin, you don’t brush it under the rug. You come back, tell the truth, and invite the conversation to go deeper. In this two-part episode, Kathy and guest Dr. Brad Montagne explore fascia, hormonal healing, and nervous system truths—but it’s what happened off-script that became the real medicine. A controversial comment about womanhood cracked something open. What followed was not a cancellation—but a conscious conversation. Together, they model how discomfort can lead to alignment, how disagreement can birth understanding, and how empowerment is born when we challenge old programming with grace. 🎧 Listen to part 1 (the followup) full two-part experience now. 📚 Books: Unlearn the Crap & Level UP and How I Unlearned MY Crap—available at and on Amazon 🔁 Share this episode if it moved you. Subscribe for more radical realness. 🎙️ Key Highlights: CRAP to Unlearn: That motherhood is a woman’s highest calling That silence equals peace That womanhood is defined by biology, not alignment Kathy’s Personal Tie-In: During the original interview, Kathy defaulted to her “Good Girl” programming. Rather than ignoring her discomfort, she invited Dr. Brad back to co-create a follow-up dialogue that models healthy disagreement and sovereign truth-telling. Science & Stats Backing the Shift: Pew Research (2021): 44% of U.S. non-parents aged 18–49 don’t expect to have children—primarily by choice Biological fact: The placenta is formed by fetal DNA, making pregnancy the responsibility of both bodies—not just the woman’s Gender biology: Sex differentiation begins from the same structures and hormones in all fetuses, challenging the binary narrative Patterns Listeners May Relate To: Freezing in moments of misalignment Struggling with societal "shoulds" around motherhood Feeling like you need permission to speak your truth Living out roles that don’t reflect who you are Cultural Myths Debunked: Woman = Mother Biology defines identity Public disagreement is shameful Truth-telling ruins relationships Unique Format: This two-part episode includes the original interview and a real-time Beyond the Interview segment where Kathy reclaims her voice. Together, they demonstrate how alignment, not agreement, creates the most powerful growth. 💡 Memorable Quotes: Kathy Baldwin: “I betrayed myself by staying silent.
