Why do traditional stress management tips work for men but backfire for so many women? Today, Shannon sits down with integrative health practitioner and somatic therapist Kendall Hitch to break down the real, science-backed reasons women need a different approach to nervous system health.

Kendall shares her personal healing journey through autoimmune disease, trauma, and anxiety—and why understanding the unique chemistry of the female nervous system changed everything. Discover:

The critical difference between dopamine and oxytocin (and why most stress advice is designed for men)
Why perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout are so common in high-achieving women
How trauma and “doing it all yourself” can keep you stuck in stress cycles
What actually works to calm your nervous system, balance hormones, and improve energy for women
Simple, research-backed daily practices to reset your body’s stress response and support true healing

If you’ve tried “all the right things” and still feel anxious, exhausted, or stuck—this episode will help you finally connect the dots. Tune in to learn how understanding your nervous system can transform your health from the inside out.
