#17: How I Healed Burnout, Anxiety & Acne with a $94/Week Routine

In this solo episode, I’m walking you through the exact $94/week nervous system healing routine that helped me recover from burnout, chronic anxiety, and cystic acne — without expensive programs or trendy wellness gimmicks.

At 29, I hit a breaking point: I was constantly anxious, mentally exhausted, and breaking out with hormonal acne that nothing could fix. I spent thousands on tests, doctors, therapy, and supplements — and nothing worked… until I simplified everything.

Inside this episode, I break down:

• What I eat (based on Traditional Chinese Medicine & cycle syncing)

• Teas and supplements I actually saw results with

• What I cut out (like short-form content, over-scheduling, and multitasking)

• Skincare + movement shifts that supported real healing

• Mindset work and emotional “homework” that changed how I show up

Whether you're dealing with burnout, hormonal acne, anxiety, gut issues, or just feel like your nervous system is shot — this episode is for you.

✨ Minimalist, grounded, and healing-focused — this is wellness that actually works.
