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.

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."

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 https://kathybaldwin.me 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.”

What happens when a man decides to stop performing and start feeling? In this groundbreaking episode, Kathy sits down with James Burden, a trauma-informed coach and facilitator for men, to unlearn the dangerous conditioning that teaches men to disconnect from their feelings, dismiss their pain, and stay emotionally guarded. ✨ Key Highlights: 🧠 Crap to Unlearn: “Men don’t cry. Men don’t feel. Men don’t need help.” 👨‍👦 James’ personal journey from emotional suppression to powerful vulnerability 🚨 The societal crisis of emotionally unavailable men and generational shame 🧱 Signs you’re emotionally blocked (and how to begin releasing it) 👊 Myths around strength, masculinity, and what it means to “man up” ⚙️ Trauma responses like freeze, fawn, shutdown — and how they manifest in men 💥 The hidden grief under anger — and the liberation in facing it 🎁 James’s resources for men ready to feel, heal, and reclaim their wholeness 💬 MEMORABLE QUOTES James Burden: “I thought being strong meant being silent. Turns out, it meant being disconnected.” “Every man I’ve ever worked with has been grieving something. They just didn’t have the words.” “Masculinity doesn’t need to be fixed — it needs to be felt.” Kathy Baldwin: “We’re not raising boys. We’re raising future men. And the world doesn’t need more shutdown souls.” “If our boys don’t learn to feel, they’ll grow up thinking control is connection.” “The unlearning begins when we admit the pain was never ours to carry in the first place.”

“I used to think consistency was the holy grail — that if I just kept going, I'd earn my way into alignment. But what I've come to unlearn is this: when rhythm breaks, it's not always a failure. Sometimes it's divine intervention.” In this episode of The Unlearning Curve, I’m sharing the truth behind my unexpected podcast hiatus — not just a pause, but a powerful realignment. This is the conversation for every woman who’s been overdelivering, pushing through, and performing under pressure… all while quietly unraveling inside. Together, we’ll explore: Why hustle culture is so seductive (and so destructive) What consistency really means in your second season of life The link between nervous system burnout and creative shutdown How universal timing, external redirection, and internal truth forced me to recalibrate What sovereignty sounds like when it returns to the mic 💬 “I didn’t plan this break — I was called into it. By my body, by life, by something bigger than my own will.” Whether you’re navigating burnout, redefining success, or craving a rhythm that finally feels like yours, this episode is a permission slip to pause — and rebuild from truth, not trauma. 🎧 Takeaway: You’ll leave with language, resonance, and tools to unlearn performance culture, reclaim your rhythm, and rise on your own timing. 🔗 Learn more at https://kathybaldwin.me

Let go — and let the current carry you.” “The rise in hatred is the evidence of how much love and power is rising, too. It’s polarity. It’s physics.” “We can’t go back. ‘Back’ doesn’t exist anymore. Life is spiraling forward — are you?” “There is no shortage. I cannot breathe too much air that it takes yours away.” “The old version of you won’t get you where you’re going. That’s the truth we all need to unlearn.”
